Response of Climatic Criminal States to Climate change

———————————————————

Indian regime has not yet paid me their promised money for my university services and it probably thinks it controls God and I should be helped only by God and not to ask the regime  for help. Could you please apply some pressure and influence them and help me? I shall be grateful.

Response of Climatic Criminal States to Climate change

DR. ABDUL RUFF

______

So, the Climate summit, like all other such summits, on climate change ended without any serious result. The leaders and their teams have departed home after joyful days with leisure, sumptuous lunches and sound sleep at Durban.

When the western terrocratic gang wanted to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya or destabilize Iran, they went all out to pursue them forcefully and quickly, but when it comes to climate change they are in no hurry and say they have plenty of time to come to some real agreements, if at all they desire.

Global big rogues controlling almost everything on earth and space, including the notorious UNSC, NATO terror organization,  international economic and financial institutions/agencies like WB, IMF, the global intelligences and judiciaries ICJ and ICC, interpol, etc, say one thing and do another, entirely opposite. They have the power and the will to do so. Entire world, especially the weaker nations, suffers due to the mischievous agendas of these rogue states.  This situation enables the dictatorial regimes to bully and control the states that do not subscribe to whims of the big rogues.

Those climatic criminal nations (CCN) that pollute the air try somehow to enter the UNSC to shut the mouths of affected nations. NATO terror wars have further complicated and escalated the climate misbehavior. GST rogue states led by USA-UK terror twins still refuse to save one planet for the future of “our children and our grandchildren” in generations.

Outwardly, most nations appear to want a strong deal – but the exceptions are some of the world’s most powerful countries. There’s now a very visible high-ambition coalition that stretches across the developed world, in Europe, and the developing countries, and the real issue is whether those that have been reluctant to join in with high ambition are prepared to do so.

 

Like the parliamentarians in India do by shouting only to escape critical problems   the nation faces, mutual accusations among the members, like elected members of Indian parliament do, are able to buy enough time. There has been little word from inside the Chinese or Indian camps as to how they currently see the negotiations.

World has never seen or will see progress in these fake negotiations  behind which deals  in arms-liquor as well as finances of NATO terrorism are struck by all  nations, unless there is a progressive coalition of leaders from developed and developing countries who want action.

Final stages of negotiations often involve a few calls between heads of state that can sometimes break an impasse when their underlings cannot. But with EU nations desperately searching for a solution to the eurozone crisis at the Brussels summit, delegates questioned whether European leaders would have the time or inclination to make the key calls.

Issue

Island nations are under perpetual threat. A new analysis by a scientific group set up in the wake of the “Climate-gate” affair has concluded that the Earth’s surface really is getting warmer. The challenge the climatic disorder has thrown to the humanity has not got the sincere attention of global nations led by NATO, UNSC and other terrorist organizations led by USA-UK terror twins.

 

Many studies indicate that current pledges on reducing emissions are taking the Earth towards a temperature rise of double the 2C target. The agreement here has not in itself taken us off the 4C path we are on. Environmental advocacy group Greenpeace before the conference began urged world leaders to try to leave the USA on the sidelines given its perceived objection to a binding treaty regarding efforts to curb global climate change. There is a claim that many stations have registered warming because they are located in or near cities, and those cities have been growing – the urban heat island effect.

India, one of top three atmospheric polluters causing dangerous climate change threatening the existence of small island nations like Maldives, did not want a specification that it must be legally binding.

The roadmap proposal originated with the EU, the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis) and the Least Developed Countries bloc (LDCs). They argued that only a new legal agreement eventually covering emissions from all countries – particularly fast-growing major emitters such as China and India – could keep the rise in global average temperatures since pre-industrial times below 2C (3.6F), the internationally-agreed threshold. South Africa, India and China criticized what they saw as a tight timetable and excessive legality. The conclusion was delayed by a dispute between the EU and India over the precise wording of the “road-map” for a new global deal. Eventually, a Brazilian diplomat came up with the formulation that the deal must have “legal force”, which proved acceptable.

 

A management framework was adopted for the Green Climate Fund, which will eventually gather and disburse finance amounting to $100bn (£64bn) per year to help poor countries develop cleanly and adapt to climate impacts. Management of a fund for climate aid to poor countries, as usual, has also been “agreed”, though how to raise the money has not. There has also been significant progress on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD).

NATO terror wars have made the climatic situation dangerously flexible and even worse that any permanent cause. By widespread convention, scientists use a minimum threshold of 95% to assess whether a trend is likely to be down to an underlying cause, rather than emerging by chance. If a trend meets the 95% threshold, it basically means that the odds of it being down to chance are less than one in 20. Last year’s analysis, which went to 2009, did not reach this threshold; but adding data for 2010 takes it over the line. Climate warming since 1995 is now statistically significant, according to Phil Jones, the UK scientist targeted in the “ClimateGate” affair.

Many countries undertake ecological actions that only add to the worry of island nations. In 2009, Brazil pledged to reduce the rise in its greenhouse gas emissions through a range of measures, chief among them a cut in the deforestation rate. If they work, emissions in 2020 will be about 37% lower than they would have been if none of these measures had been enacted. Deforestation in the Amazon is supposed to fall by 80% in the Amazon and 40% in the Cerrado. At the UN conference, Brazil’s chief climate official Eduardo Assad said that the country was already on track to meet about 65% of the target.

Brazil’s new Forest Code passed by the Senate means it will struggle to meet its targets on curbing greenhouse emissions.  The move will also reduce Brazil’s global leadership on forests. It will reduce the size of buffer zones around rivers, and weaken the amount of land that owners must leave forested. Past breaches will not be punished if perpetrators agree to a plan of ecological restoration. Environment groups believe it will damage forests, rivers and wildlife. The ripples might extend beyond Brazilian shores.

 

Many other issues are on the agenda besides emission cuts. On the Green Climate Fund – the new body that will eventually collect and disburse sums of $100bn (£64bn) per year to poor countries – there is consensus on rules. The draft agreement for this meeting specifies that a levy on fuel used by international shipping could be one source of money for the fund. But progress on agreeing other sources is being blocked, reportedly by the US. On forests, there are genuine disagreements over technical and social factors. But there is also a chance that any or all of these issues could be held hostage as leverage in the bigger picture.

Claims of global warming have not been exaggerated. The Berkeley Earth Project has used new methods and some new data, but finds the same warming trend seen by groups such as the UK Met Office and NASA. The Berkeley group says it has also found evidence that changing sea temperatures in the north Atlantic may be a major reason why the Earth’s average temperature varies globally from year to year. The project received funds from sources that back organizations lobbying against action on climate change.

There was also the talk of action that helps cope with the effects of climate change – for example construction of barriers to protect against rising sea levels, or conversion to crops capable of surviving high temperatures and drought.

Environment groups are appealing to the EU to stand firm in its demands for a firm timeline towards a strong global deal, in return for which it is prepared to sign up for a second round of emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.

 

Scientists work for their funding masters in USA, UK and other big powers to manipulate the data. Critics alleged the emails showed CRU scientists and others attempting to subvert the usual processes of science and of manipulating data in order to paint an unfounded picture of globally rising temperatures.

The notorious UNSC stays away from the climatic disorders being propelled by advanced and energy hungry nations. This is as bad as a negative response to climate change is a serious danger signal.

Meanwhile, emails of University of East Anglia (UEA) climate scientists were hacked, posted online and used by critics to allege manipulation of climate change data.

The arrogance of the UN and global governments to think they can pollute the atmosphere and also effectively control the climate on the Planet is just astounding! Climate change, which is different from local weather fluctuations in all regions now, happens slowly over many thousands of years and has been going on since this planet was formed. Sudden climate change that happens over hundreds of years is not normal and the cause is usually mega volcanic explosions and asteroid strikes. The sudden climate change that this planet is experiencing is being caused by extra human activity.

Action that helps cope with the effects of climate change – for example construction of barriers to protect against rising sea levels, or conversion to crops capable of surviving high temperatures and drought.

 

The Standoff

More than 100 countries that gathered in South Africa over climate change issue are backing a plan that would set a 2015 deadline for a new climate treaty that would enter into force in 2020. The “powerful” BASIC group – Brazil, South Africa, India and China – held the line that talks should not begin before 2015, and should only take effect when current pledges on reducing emissions expire in 2020.

 

Lack of urgency in the Durban meeting halls for a political deal and pressing issues elsewhere threatened to block progress as the UN climate summit entered its final days. Some delegates said there was no clear process for bridging divides. Others suggested that the EU summit would see the leaders “thinking of the euro crisis, not the climate crisis”.  Part of their argument is that discussions should start after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published its next assessment report in 2013-4, so that policy is based on the latest science. The UN climate convention (UNFCCC) itself is also due to review its existing agreements in 2013-5, to judge whether they need strengthening.

 

The EU has made an ad-hoc alliance with some of the world’s poorest nations to push for a strong deal here. The UK Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said UN climate talks were at a crunch point and countries must decide whether they want a treaty that can really curb global warming.

The EU said it is willing to put its existing emission pledges under the Kyoto Protocol, provided that the summit agrees a clear roadmap or process leading to a new global agreement under which, eventually, every nation’s emissions could be regulated. Europe called on USA, Chinese, Indian delegates to join a European proposal. Britain said the level of greenhouse gas emissions are rising very fast while the rest of the world focuses on economic uncertainty in the USA and eurozone. The US – which is well versed in the art of escapism and has been widely accused of blocking tactics – also said it supported the EU concept of a “roadmap”, but gave few extra details.

The US, India, China and Brazil are among those opposed parts of the solution sought by the EU and the majority of developing countries. As those four nations together account for nearly half of the world’s emissions, the diplomacy is harder than the mere numbers might indicate.

The top third world polluters Brazil, China and India also argue that Western countries should follow through fully on their existing pledges first before any new process starts – including by making further emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol. Brazil has made clear that it does not want the process to begin until 2015 at the earliest, while China, India, and the US are believed to favour even longer timescales.

Aosis and the LDCs agree that rich countries need to do more. Western nations have not cut their own emissions as they had pledged. Countries labeled “developed” and others have to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. If there is no legal instrument by which humanity can make countries responsible for their actions, then the world is relegating countries to the fancies of beautiful words.

 

Observation

Coalition of the willing is at a work even at climate change issue. But the big emitters are holding out for a longer timescale. The grand show of UN climate “talks” has closed with an “agreement” which may or may not be put into practice.  The EU agreed to place its current emission-cutting pledges inside the legally-binding Kyoto Protocol, a key demand of developing countries.

 

Nations at the UN climate talks appeared to be edging their way to agreeing that a process towards a new carbon-cutting deal should start in the New Year. However, most of them are double-speakers. There is clearly a broad coalition there that wants a process leading to a new, legally-binding agreement covering all nations to begin as soon as possible. It includes the Least Developed Countries bloc (LDCs), the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis), the European Union and some countries in Africa and Latin America.

 

No big new treaty was agreed. Overnight talks appeared to have made little concrete progress, with big emitting countries sticking out for a new deal that would bite after 2020. The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis) insist that the talks must begin in January and conclude at the end of next year. What the LDCs, Aosis and the EU are seeking is a firm timetable – a mandate – leading to a new treaty.

In one further forest development, seven African nations and eight western partners signed a Declaration of Intent on the Congo Basin Initiative, a plan to safeguard the world’s second-largest expanse of rainforest.

The fact of the matter is there should be very quick action. India has been accused of being one of the main countries blocking a progressive deal here, along with China and the US. The “firewall” marked in the UN climate process at its origin in 1992, which divided the world into Annex One – rich countries with commitments to reduce emissions – and everyone else, must be maintained.

 

A draft text circulated by the South African host government says the new agreement should be in place by 2015. All nations would be included, though the exact legal nature is not clear. The new version does not specify a date from which the new agreement should come into force. But it does for the first time explicitly endorse the fact that there is a mismatch, a gap, between the pledges countries have made on cutting emissions and their stated goal of keeping the rise in average global temperatures since pre-industrial times below 2C (3.6F).

The move marks a success for the ad-hoc alliance formed between the EU and scores of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries. Most observers agree that the biggest question is whether China, India, Brazil and the US can be persuaded to move far enough towards the common ground shared by the EU and the LDCs and Aosis.

Talks on a new legal deal covering all countries will begin next year and end by 2015, coming into effect by 2020. Many delegates rightly said the host government of South Africa, a stooge of western terrocracies, lacked urgency and strategy. Earlier drafts had said negotiations should not begin until 2015, and should not take effect until 2020.

 

Confusions!

 

Pledges are made by regimes only to be floated eventually. Both the developed world and emerging economies are not living up to its promises. The climatic criminal states will need to cut their emissions several years in the future if governments are to meet their goal of keeping the rise in global average temperature since pre-industrial times below 2C.

 

The world is still waiting for the global dictator USA, Asian giant China, and South Asia’s terror colonialist India to get on board with a plan to curb global warming. The USA and others keep saying they are committed to finding a workable solution to climate change, but they are insincere.  All they want is alien resources through illegal wars on fabricated pretexts only to strength their economies.

 

But the talk of a brighter future is vague because of lack commitment to the world peace and safe climatic conditions.

 

But one has wait and see the action by all concerned.

An Appeal for Retirement Benefits from CIEFL

 

With high regards I would like to bring to your kind notice the crude fact that in brief that I, upon serving many other institutions in India, joined and worked for India government at CIEFL in Hyderabad from 1986 to 2001as Reader in Russian and everything seemed to move alight until I questioned their fickle minded monkey-type behavior and roguish actions against me. For a few years I had faced enormous difficulties from the Institute’s teachers and the non-faculty institute people and ultimately I decided to seek voluntary retirement in 2001 and the Institute promised to give me the benefit of VRS and I am still waiting for the money from CIEFL. I have written letters to them but do not respond, maybe; fearing their illegal dealings with me would land them in trouble. Maybe, they were rude for some of other own reasons that I cannot guess. Such attitude is not expected of “educated, cultured and civilized” people of India.  

In fact when the behavior of the institute and its agents became intolerant I moved out of the campus to stay but the problem did not end and continued to haunt me through criminal elements

 

Maybe the my bosses  at CIEFL who think they are not just the employees of GOI like me but the owners of the institute and they created all nonsensical problems  both at office, at residence and outside by hiring agents. .Their attitude made me really sick and I even left the campus to stay in a far away locality.  But I found it difficult to come to the institute. They behaved like insane guys.

I think India is irresponsible – both central and state governments and their agencies. After my education, I suffered in government jobs. I joined the CIEFL thinking that it was a central government organization and would be considerate to Muslims. But it proved that is no different from state government agencies in any respect. The petrified mindset is the hallmark of all Indian offices. 

Maybe the government of India has deliberately trapped me and fooled me. They have got all resources for that.  I have even forgotten about the details of my services since 1979 starting from JNU and then Mysore University. 

I had been on their Academic Council, Board and Society, etc but they ill-treated me.  I appeal to you to kindly look into the matter. 

I earnestly request you to kindly ask the CIEFL people to respect their promise and release the VRS benefits without any further delay. It is bad on my part to say that they behaved like rogues and continue to behave so and they have not hesitation in doing so. I have represented this case with many in Delhi including the former HRD minster Mr. Arjun Singh. But they all suggest I must go to court and collect money by talking to the advocates on percentage issue.  I am not willing to go to court to get what is my due after I worked hard for years in Indian institutions. Court did not appoint me at CIEFL.

 

I appeal to you to kindly take steps to get my retirement benefits and punish the CIEFL rouges  for  everything  they have done to kick me out of their supposed private property called CIEFL.. I am sure, Sir, you will respond to my cry. . 

Indian cruelty is unique as I have experienced it personally for years both in service and after it now without being able to work, rest, sleep or move about. From front to back I am being under constant surveillance and attacked. Remote facility is provided even to third-rate street fellows only to create a sense of insecurity in me. 

The Victim of the secret networks, illegally interfering even  in my sleep by creating nightmares and terror shows. I have known India to be very cruel to me in all respects and irresponsible to my repeated appeals. .  .

Looking forward to hearing from you

Yours Sincerely, 
With high regards

An Appeal for Retirement Benefits from CIEFL, Hyderabad, GOI

Respected Sirs:

 

I have received a copy of letter VPS/R-16.03.2011/US, dated 16th March 2011, addressed to you to take appropriate action on my appeal, to His Excellency the Vice President, for retirement benefits and other dues from CIEFL, Hyderabad, where I worked before seeking VRS under agreement with the institute. I have been advised to contact you. 

 

The CIEFL refuses even to acknowledge my letters of request for obvious, possibly false self-defense reasons. 

I request you earnestly to pursue the matter with CIEFL through instructions to settle my dues amicably. 

 

 I shall be grateful to you and others who help me in the regard. 

 

I have placed a genuine complaint and I am looking forward to your kind action and response in my favor. 

 

Thanking you, 

Yours Sincerely,

Abdul Ruff

—————————————————————————————————————–

However, it is painful to say that the concerned officials from Tamil Nadu have not responded to my appeal so far.  That is how Indian system functions at national, provisional and local levels. Hence I write this again to earnestly appeal to you to kindly pursue the mater.

 

PS :   I worked at CIEFL because that  is funded by the government of India. If the CIEFL ignores your direction to help me with paying my dues and VRS benefits as promised by them that is most unfortunate and I appeal to your Excellency to take  steps in getting the  payment  made from government/PM  funds directly. Already I have been harassed for too long and any more delay on GOI part would entail disasters  for India  which uses remote  technology to harm me in during my sleep about which I had written to former President Dr. Abdul Kalam who promptly replied that he had passed on my letter of serious health concern to the ministry of technology, but, unfortunately,  nothing has happened till day. I continue suffer from various problems created by India for working for it sincerely. CIEFL people troubled me a lot, without letting me work, move about on the campus, stay in my official flat on the campus, or even sleep.  They in a coordinated effort made terrible noises above my ceilings and used remote gadgets to monitor me to trouble me. I began coming to the campus very late after dinner so that there could be less gang menace, but they used police to harass me, beat me while opening my flat in the  night and handed over to police as if I was an outsider break opening an Institute flat but even police  knew it was my flat but they played joint operations against me. Even the courts knew it but they were “performing ” the  duties assigned to them and refused to help me and also wanted to punish me. That is the worst part of my life in Hyderabad. And it became too difficult for me to stay on the campus there. I stopped living on the campus went to  far away to live among outsiders but I faced problems outside as well.  then i sought voluntary retirement for peaceful life but that is also denied by the networks. 

I opted for VRS when they refused to stop the menace and agreed to pay me the VRS.  But now they do not even respond. That is CIEFL of Indian government.

Long back I gave my bank (SBH) account in TVM-Kerla- but they are deadly silent like state  terrorists and unresponsive and irresponsible

I hope you will ask the CIEFL to keep their word and give me the VRS and other benefits they agreed to.

 Please give me justice!

And if, however, you assert that India would not keep its word and I must forgive India for being so mischievous and misbehaving to me after availing my services, I might, knowing Indian mindset against Muslims, consider that as well. Please inform me. After all India used criminals against me even in a running train from Delhi.

 Awaiting eagerly your response!

Politics of Polls: Focus on Russia

Politics of Polls: Focus on Russia

DR. ABDUL RUFF

____________

 

Russians elect parliament

 

In contemporary world, elections are held by the rulers and political classes  to fool the world. USA,  UK and Russia, for example,  use the polls to obtain legitimacy  indirectly  for  their crimes indoors and  abroad.

 

People are fooled every where. Polls in Russia or for that matter in many terrocracies are quite predictable as the ruling dispensations make full use of all possible resources at their command, legally or otherwise. Media used by the regime play the crucially central role in promoting the ruling party in polls as well. India that used Russian weapons to kill Muslim in occupied Kashmir regularly conducts shame polls though money, muscle and media strength to obtain mandate to loot the resources for themselves and help the multinationals and rich sections. Muslims are  used as mere vote bank stuff. American leaders openly seek bribes duding  the campaigns from the arms-liquor merchants and agents  and serve the multinationals. .

 

Entire state machinery of Russian Federation was in full swing to see Vladimir Putin’s ruling party win at least a reduced majority in parliament, as Russians voted on 03 December in “marathon” elections braving freezing temperatures, amid claims the authorities were engaging in foul play to ensure it maintained dominance. The elections to the lower house of parliament, the 450-deputy State Duma, are seen as a key test of Putin’s ability to hold on to power as he, now prime minister, prepares to reclaim his old Kremlin job as Russia’s president in a March vote amid growing disillusionment over his 11-year rule.

 

The election process in the world’s largest country spread over nine time zones kicked off in Pacific Ocean regions and was to conclude 21 hours later with the close of polls in exclave of Kalinda on the borders with the European Union, nine time zones away. Polls opened at 2000 in the Far East, and the Primorsky Krai where Vladivostok is located was one of several Far Eastern regions where polling began. The other regions to vote first included parts of diamond-mining Yakutia, the region of Sakhalin which includes an island chain contested by Japan, Kamchatka, and Magadan, the site of Soviet-era Gulag camps.

 

 

There has been no serious threat to the Putin regime, except the US threat gimmicks that in fact promotes Kremlin authoritarianism. Seven parties were running in the elections to the lower house of parliament, the 450-deputy State Duma, which are seen as a dry run of March presidential polls in which current Prime Minister Putin is expected to win back his old Kremlin job. The three main opposition parties — the Communists, the nationalist Liberal Democrats and the populist A Just Russia — should all see their support tick up without posing any significant challenge to United Russia.

 

 

The outgoing parliament, or State Duma, is dominated by Putin’s party, with seats also held by the Communist Party, the nationalist Liberal Democrats and the social-democratic Fair Russia.

 

The four years since the last parliamentary vote in 2007 have been marked by an outburst of criticism of the authorities on the Internet as web penetration in Russia started to finally catch up with the rest of Europe. Independent observers and opposition parties expect authorities to skew polling results in favor of United Russia and say the only major intrigue would be the scale of falsifications to secure victory for Putin’s party.

 

Putin claimed a land slide for his party. But with support for Putin and his party crumbling, United Russia is expected to win just over half the vote. Analysts say United Russia had initially hoped to repeat the success of the last parliamentary elections in 2007 when it secured a landslide majority of 64.3 per cent and received 315 seats in the Duma.

 

 

 

Turnout would indicate how many Russians are disillusioned with the political process after over a decade of Putin’s strongman rule. Putin’s United Russia is still expected to have a clear majority but opinion polls have predicted that its nationwide poll rating will drop from 2007 when it secured a landslide majority of 64.3 percent and won 315 seats in the Duma.

 

A presidential poll will be held on 4 March, when Putin will stand for election having served two previous terms in the post.

 

 

 Political economy of Russia


Spanning nine time zones, Russia is the largest country on earth in terms of surface area, although large tracts in the north and east are inhospitable and sparsely populated. This vast Eurasian land mass covers more than 17m sq km, with a climate ranging from the Arctic north to the generally temperate south.

 

Russia is a major exporter of weapons, and other terror gods. Russia’s economic power lies in its key natural resources – oil and gas. The energy giant Gazprom is close to the Russian state and critics say it is little more than an economic and political tool of the Kremlin.  At a time of increased concern over energy security, Moscow has more than once reminded the rest of the world of the power it wields as a major energy supplier. In 2006, it cut gas to Ukraine after a row between the countries, a move that also affected the supply of gas to Western Europe

 

Russia emerged from a decade of post-Soviet economic and political turmoil to reassert itself as a world power. Incomes from vast natural resources, above all oil and gas, have helped Russia overcome the economic collapse of 1998. The state-run gas monopoly Gazprom is the world’s largest producer and exporter, and supplies a growing share of Europe’s needs.

 

Resurgent Russian economy is further boosted by roaring oil/gas prices and booming arms trade. During Putin’s presidency Russia’s booming economy and assertive foreign policy bolstered national pride. In particular, Russia promoted its perceived interests in former Soviet states more openly, even at the cost of antagonizing the West.

 

 

In the period of rapid privatization in the early 1990s, the government of President Boris Yeltsin created a small but powerful group of magnates, often referred to as “oligarchs”, who acquired vast interests in the energy and media sectors.  President Yeltsin’s successor, Vladimir Putin, moved to reduce the political influence of oligarchs soon after taking office, forcing some into exile and prosecuting others.

 

 

While Russians make up more than 80% of the population and Orthodox Christianity is the main religion, there are many other ethnic and religious groups. Muslims are concentrated among the Volga Tatars and the Bashkirs and in the North Caucasus.

 

 

Human rights groups at home and abroad have accused Russian forces in Chechnya of widespread abuses against the public. Since the 11 September attacks on the US Moscow has tried to present its campaign as part of the global war against terrorism.

 

Experience shows that opposition parties viewed by the authorities as anti-Kremlin or anti-Putin, and which openly criticize the Russian prime minister, normally struggle to receive official registration.  So, what do Russians make of this pre-ordained transfer of power?

 

Putin is Russia?

 

Putin, who was recently subjected to unprecedented booing at a martial arts fight, and President Dmitry Medvedev have made clear they did not want to see a squabbling parliament like in the 1990s under Boris Yeltsin. “If someone wants to watch a show, then they need to go to the circus, the movies or theatre,” Putin told workers at a shipyard in Saint Petersburg, urging Russians to vote for his party.

 

 

Economic strength has allowed Vladimir Putin to enhance state control over political institutions and the media, buoyed by extensive public support for his policies as prime minister, president and now prime minister again.

 

Kremlin takes every opportunity to  showcase its importance in  the former Soviet space. The tensest moment came in August 2008, when a protracted row over two breakaway regions of Georgia escalated into a military conflict between Russia and Georgia. Russia sent troops into Georgia and declared that it was recognizing the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, sparking angry reactions in the West and fears of a new Cold War.

 

At the same time, Moscow threatened to counter plans by the US Bush regime to develop an anti-missile system in Eastern Europe with its own missiles in Kaliningrad Region on Poland’s borders. President Obama later withdrew the plan, in a move seen in Russian official circles as a vindication of the assertive foreign policy. Another source of irritation between Russia and the US is Moscow’s role in Iran’s nuclear energy program. Russia agreed in 2005 to supply fuel for Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor and has been reluctant to support the imposition of UN sanctions on Iran.

 

Putin can claim kilometerstone during his reign in US-Russia ties. A gradual warming in relations between Russia and the US early in 2010 culminated in the signing of a new nuclear arm treaty designed to replace the expired Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start) of 1991.  Though disagreements remain between Moscow and Washington over US plans for a missile defence shield, there are signs that the thaw in relations could extend to a greater willingness on the part of Russia to apply pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.

 

 

Vladimir Putin, who leads the ruling United Russia party, has accused foreign powers of meddling in election preparations. Since the best candidate for president is ready, Russians now know the name of their next president – Vladimir Putin. Even before the polls, it felt like the day after a general election. The presidential election will be little more than a referendum on what has already been agreed behind closed doors – that Putin will return to the presidency.

 

Last week Medvedev adviser Igor Yurgens said he was sure that the president would seek a second term. Today he admitted defeat. The rational explanation is that Medvedev was under pressure and the stronger and more influential Putin got the upper hand. Dmitry Medvedev’s time in the Kremlin was merely “camouflage” for a third Putin presidential term. It likens Russia to the Titanic, heading for a disaster.

 

Vladimir Putin’s strongman image seems to go down well with many Russians. Some of President Medvedev’s own advisers are deflated, too. They know who their prime minister is going to be – Dmitry Medvedev. They have a pretty good idea which political party will have the majority in parliament – United Russia. They know all this, even though parliamentary elections are still two-and-a-half months away. And the next presidential election will not be until March 2012.

 

It is thus unthinkable that Vladimir Putin could lose that election. He remains the most popular politician in Russia. That is partly because of his strongman image, which goes down well with the public. And it is partly because the political system he has created prevents any potential rivals from appearing on the scene, from getting air time on national TV, and from gaining authority.

 

It is the same with Russia’s political parties. In December’s Duma election, only those parties approved or tolerated by the Kremlin will have the opportunity to contest the poll.

 

Putin may have enhanced the image of Russia as a strong power, though most people remain poor and are unhappy. But the tendency to equate a leader or a celebrity with the nation is both ironic and foolish!

 

Media

 

Bulk of Russia media are solidly behind the authoritarian regime.

 

 

Russia’s main independent vote monitors have been denounced and harassed by the authorities ahead of the elections, while several opposition news websites were the victims of an apparent mass hacking attack on polling day. In the run-up to the parliamentary polls, Russia’s independent monitor group Golos (Voice) claimed rampant violations in the election campaign, including pressure to vote for Putin’s United Russia party. Golos “Map of Violations” website documenting claims of campaign fraud became the target of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack while its whole communications system was being undermined. Golos was fined nearly $1,000 and became the subject of a prime time television program that accused the “ostensibly independent observers” of acting in the interests of the US government. Customs officials held Golos head Lilia Shibanova for 12 hours at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport and confiscated her laptop on 03 Dec. The website of popular radio station Moscow Echo, which is owned by state gas monopoly Gazprom but often tackles sensitive issues, was the subject of a similar hacking attack. The attack on the website on the election-day is clearly an attempt to inhibit publication of information about violations.

 

Pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi (Ours) said that 15,000 of its members would be moving around Moscow during the vote while the members of the radical opposition said they would stage unsanctioned protests later in the day.

 

Allegations were denounced by Putin and pro-Kremlin TV. Duma members have questioned why the foreign-funded organization – whose name means “voice” or “vote” – is allowed to monitor Russian elections.

 

In a televised address on Friday, President Dmitry Medvedev insisted Russia’s political parties enjoyed “free and equal competition” ahead of the election. Without naming United Russia, he urged voters to choose “responsible politicians, who can help improve our people’s living standards in practice, and who will be guided in their actions by the interests of voters and national interests”.

 

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former head of the Yukos oil company and a supporter of the liberal opposition, was serving eight years in a Siberian penal colony on tax and fraud charges before he was released by the state recently. Yukos assets were later acquired by the state oil giant Rosneft.

 

Judging from some of Russian papers, there is a degree of anger. The paper Moskovsky Komsomolets accuses Vladimir Putin of wanting more than just 12 more years – two terms – in power. The popular tabloid has a cartoon on its front page. It shows a ballot box with a heart-shaped slot for the ballot papers.

 
Freedom Struggles


west used to support and even promote the freedom struggles  waged by Muslim nations within Russian federation but since CIA-Mossad engineered Sept-11 hoax Russia has benefited significantly by supporting the US-UK led NATO  GST wars essentially against Islam and for energy resources of the Mideast. West has been bullied by Moscow  to oppose Chechnya because they are also “terrorists”. .

 

Many Muslim nations, like Chechnya, Tataristan, Dagestan, were annexed and added to Russian empire and people now reclaim their lost sovereignty. But the Kremlin uses force to silencing them, killing in thousands. Putin had assured the Chechens that they would get sovereignty if they behave well like good pupils and since now a pro-Moscow regime is in place in Grozny (the capital of Chechnya) world expects  the Kremlin  to free Chechnya other seeking sovereignty back from Moscow control.  However, Putin who came to power in 2000 by murdering Chechen fighters stock and barrel, almost in full, deliberately maintain discrete silence over this explosive issue. Perhaps Russians who hate the Chechens and Muslims think the matter is already settled in favor of Russia.

 

Those  Muslims who seek sovereignty  from the Kremlin yoke are termed  by the Russians as terrorists and separatists. The so-called “separatists” and “armed Islamists” have made the Caucasus region of Chechnya a war zone for much of the post-Soviet era. Many thousands have died since Russian troops were first sent to put down a separatist rebellion in 1994. Moscow is “convinced” that any loosening of its grip on Chechnya would result in the whole of the North Caucasus falling to “anarchy” or “Islamic militancy”.  Russian media fuels this fear among the people so that Russians hate Islam and Muslims while support a “strong” presidency.

 

Like India has been doing to Kashmiris, Russia has been fooling Chechens. In a sign of growing confidence that peace might be returning, the Russian authorities called a formal end to the military operation against the “rebels” in 2009. Sporadic violence continues, however, with a major suicide bomb blast in September 2010 reigniting the debate about the efficacy of the counter-terror campaign.

 

Now  the Russians might be happy  that USA is not allowed to support the Chechens. But Russia will have to free the  Muslim nations one day.

 

 

Observations

 

 

The UNSC veto power has kept the Kremlin to achieve almost all its goals and its cooperation for secret terror operations and support for NATO has promoted Russian interest. This explains why an innocent looking India is deadly focused on veto handle to sustain the brutality in occupied Jammu Kashmir, killing Muslims there and in India proper, control the world.

 

And Russia, without conceding the West any concession on human rights violations, has, by extending support for the notorious NATO terror operations, also won its most important foreign policy ambition of entering the WTO to make friends with American and other global capitalists officially. After all the US –led western terrocracies just raise the HR issues just to bully Russia and obtain its support for NATO terrorism and in Islamic world and GST  terror operations around the world.

 

Human rights groups at home and abroad have accused Russian forces in Chechnya of widespread abuses against the public. Since the 11 September attacks on the US Moscow has tried to present its campaign as part of the global war against terrorism.

Experience shows that opposition parties viewed by the authorities as anti-Kremlin or anti-Putin, and which openly criticize the Russian prime minister, normally struggle to receive official registration.  So, what do Russians make of this pre-ordained transfer of power?

 

Overt economic or other exploitation is less fanciful these days even in USA and Russia. Political parasitism and economic frauds are the deciding factors in global polls.

 

There has been growing dissent among the people against the present Russian governance.  Even many former United Russia supporters from the Pacific city of Vladivostok also said the ruling party had done virtually nothing over the past four years.

 

Russia has generated huge chunk of rural and urban poor following the “death of communism” while a new capitalist class, led by the notorious oligarchs, and emerged from the old establishment to provide scope of prestige for Russian crop of parasites.

.

Elections are necessary to reclaim a popular mandate to rule. From the point of view of democracy, it is not good that we have such a small choice. But at least we know Putin. He’s been president before, so many are not against him. There’s no cause for rejoicing.”

In Russia, elections have become little more than a plebiscite on the nation’s love of one man.

Even if Obama is “reposted” by his democratic party for a second term, none can for sure say he would run successfully.  But even much before election were mentioned in the media, Vladimir Putin’s election to Presidency is assured. Now the polls have been conducted in Russia for the Parliament Duma and none doubts the ruing United Russia would win majority of seats. That is Russian system.

 

 

Russians have not changed much since the Soviet days wanting a centralized autocratic regime if regime. Some said they would support Putin’s United Russia, while others noted they had so far seen nothing from it but empty promises. Otherwise they are conformed innocent.

 

The results are already clear. When Dmitry Medvedev took the stage at a party conference and backed his mentor for presidency, Putin, he effectively handed back the keys to the Kremlin. Job done!

 

It is however not very clear if the Russian voters have realized the significance of electing a parliament as mere formality for the next five years on expected lines.

Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by anti-Islamic agencies.Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces. Fake democracies like USA and India have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices.Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than “terrorism”.Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they in disguise are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. /abdulruff.wordpress.com//91-9961868309/91-9961868309
