  Another Billionaire Russian In The UK Dies In 'Accident'.
Posted by: BIAD - 12-09-2019, 11:03 AM - Forum: General News and Events - Replies (1)

Move along... nothing to see here, folks. Please stop using the expression 'cleaning house', it was an accident.
(And anyway, Porton Down in Salisbury has all our Novichok!)



Quote:Billionaire Russian killed last month while walking his dog in Surrey 'had enemies' says former head
of security 
to oligarch found dead in 2013

*Billionaire Dmitry Obretetsky, 49, was hit by a car as he walked his dog in Surrey 
*Both the Russian billionaire and his dog were killed in the crash on November 25 
*Former security chief to Boris Berezovsky says that Mr Obretetsky 'had enemies' 

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6784]
Russian tycoon Dmitry Obretetsky (left) was knocked down and killed in Surrey last month.
Sergei Migdal, former security chief to outspoken Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky (right),
has revealed Mr Obretetsky 'had enemies'

'A Russian billionaire knocked down and killed near his £6million Surrey mansion last month had 'enemies' and 'intense
financial disputes' before his death, according to the former head of security of an oligarch found dead in 2013. 
Billionaire Dmitry Obretetsky, 49, was hit by a car as he walked his dog in the wealthy village of Oxshott on November 25.
He was in a coma for several days before he passed away.

Now Sergei Migdal, former security chief to outspoken Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky, has revealed that Mr Obretetsky
left almost 500 stakeholders without a return on their investment after his construction firm Stroi-City collapsed.
The company, based in Mr Obretetsky's home town Volgograd, went bankrupt before it had been able to finish work on a
residential complex.

A friend of Mr Obretetsky from Russia previously questioned whether he was deliberately killed. 
Former Israeli criminal intelligence officer Mr Migdal has now also suggested that Mr Obretetsky may have been killed
deliberately. He told The Times: 'It's speculation at this point but most Russian business people get killed as a consequence
of business disputes.'

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6785]
The Russian businessman, 49, was killed in a collision involving three vehicles on this road in Oxshott while he was out walking his dog
on November 25. The tycoon lived in in Hamilton House (pictured), a £6million property on an exclusive estate in Oxshott.

However, he added that, as far as he was aware, Mr Obretetsky was not an opponent of Mr Putin.
He said: 'He wasn't ever much into politics and he isn't on Putin's list of enemies. He more positioned himself as a Russian
patriot. '[He] did have enemies. He was involved in a couple of intense financial disputes following the collapse of his
construction firm in Volgograd.'

Mr Migdal was in charge of security for Mr Berezovsky from 2005 to 2010.
The oligarch was an opponent of President Putin and was found dead at his home in Ascot, Berkshire, in 2013.
Initially, his death was ruled as suicide but an open verdict was later declared, after another inquest.
A business partner of Mr Obretetsky is currently behind bars in Russia after he was extradited over claims he conned his
workers out of 26million roubles (£300,000).

The incident is the latest in a series of mysterious deaths of prominent Russians in the area, after Badri Patarkatsishvili
died at an estate near Leatherhead in 2008, Alexander Peripilichnyy died near Weybridge in 2012 and Mr Berezovsky
died near Ascot in 2013.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6787]
The small corner of London's commuter belt has seen a number of mysterious deaths
of prominent Russians in recent years.

Unlike those figures, Obretetsky is not known to have expressed any opposition to Russian leader Vladimir Putin and experts
on the region say oligarchs who become incredibly wealthy in Putin's Russia often have the leader's tacit consent.

Chelsea [football club] owner Roman Abramovich also has property near Oxshott. It is not known whether the two were friends,
but Mr Obretetsky's son Ilya has been pictured in Chelsea's Stamford Bridge changing rooms.
The Russian businessman lived in Hamilton House, a £6 million property on an exclusive estate in Oxshott. Former England
and Chelsea captain John Terry also owns a property nearby.

Neighbours of Obretetsky's grand Surrey mansion said today that his family had left the property soon after news of his death
emerged. Aleksi Fadejeb, 46, who lives opposite Mr Obretesky said: 'I'm also Russian but didn't know Dmitry that well.
He regularly walked his dog Oscar and I'd be out with my own dog. We always said hello but it didn't go much beyond that.

'The road Dmitry was trying to cross is very dangerous. I lost my dog there about two weeks ago. I know Dmitry' s family must
be devastated by his loss. I've heard they are currently in Russia.' 

The three drivers involved in the incident in Surrey last week are understood to have stopped at the scene, but detectives have
appealed for information and dashcam footage of the incident.
A police spokesman said: 'We are continuing to investigate the circumstances around the collision.'
His dog was also killed in the road crash...'

  Big, Bad Salt and Pepper Shakers
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 12-07-2019, 05:48 PM - Forum: America's President D. Trump - No Replies

Is it just a slow news day, or are "they" running out of things to degrade our POTUS?  Now the "news" is making a big deal about the size of Pres. Trump's salt and pepper shakers being bigger than everyone else's. 

Sigh...   This is as bad as them making fun of him for saying "covfefe". 

The joke was on "them". In ancient texts covfefe means "I will stand up".

In order to make the President look foolish, Google and Wikipedia rushed to the internet and wiped the word off the search engine; you can't find the definition now, but I saw it with my own eyes before they sent it into cyber space.

Also, people don't realize that when he makes spelling "mistakes" he is sending a coded message to Anons, or maybe he just needs to give the media something to keep them busy while he goes about saving America.

It's a shame the media has sunken so low that they degrade a man as great as our President Trump, and all he's doing is trying to save us from a one world government. This should prove to people that the media are an arm of the Cabal.

Quote:
  • When he's having working lunches or dinners at the White House, President Donald Trump often wields salt and pepper shakers almost twice the size of everyone else's.

  • This could be another one of his power moves, alongside his fierce handshakes and bulky suits.

  • Photos show Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama using the same size shakers as their White House guests, while Trump's usually tower over others.


President Donald Trump displays his power with firm handshakes, a second scoop of ice cream, and towering salt and pepper shakers.

Mark Knoller, CBS News' White House correspondent, pointed out how much bigger Trump's shakers were in a tweet on Thursday.

Insider combed the photo archives and found that Trump more often than not gets much larger salt and pepper shakers than other foreign leaders or American politicians when dining at the White House. And we couldn't find instances of Trump's most recent predecessors using larger shakers than those of their guests.

The large shakers might just be because he enjoys salty foods like KFC chicken, Big Macs, and bacon and eggs. But it could also be another power move, alongside his fierce handshakes and bulky suits.

These photos show how much bigger Trump's White House salt and pepper shakers usually are than everyone else's, and how they compare to those of Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

And then the story goes on to show how all other President's shakers were the same size as their guests, offering up many pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I like this explanation theory below; it makes sense since President Trump has already had several assignation attempts on his life.

Since they have to make sure no one tries to poison him, the salt and pepper shakers have to be a different size so no one can switch them without the secret service knowing.


I haven't seen the official story, but a few weeks ago it was rumored that the official food taster became extremely ill after testing food intended for the President. I never heard whether he lived or died.
It was the same evening that President Trump made an unannounced visit to the hospital for a "check up".  Y'all remember that don't you?  So, it could be true, and would explain the salt and pepper shakers being a different size.

  Bad News for the Obama Administration

Rudy Giuliani has been on fire lately unleashing what he's known about the past administration's corrupt dealings with foreign countries, and Obummer and Biden were right in the middle of it.

Will the MSM report this?  I doubt it, after all, it's supposed to be the DemoRats week(s) to shine in the spotlight with their fake, no evidence, impeachment scam.


RUDY NUKES DEMOCRATS: Ukrainians Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Aid During Obama Admin

Quote:On Thursday Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that Democrats will move ahead on impeachment of President Trump for not giving away US taxpayer dollars quick enough to one of the world’s most corrupt nations. Democrats believe this is grounds for impeachment.

Hmm.

Never fear, Rudy is here!   smallgreensmoker 



Quote:Earlier this week Rudy Giuliani met with Ukrainian officials to discuss the misuse of US funds in Ukraine and the creation of a group to fight corruption in the country.


[Image: rudy-derkach-600x363.jpg]

Rudy is what you call a REAL whistle-blower, unlike the fake one the DemoRats made up from thin air.


Quote:According to a Facebook post by Ukrainian independent lawmaker Andrey Derkach Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani recently flew to Kiev to discuss the creation of a group to fight corruption. 
In October Ukrainian Parliamentarian Andrey (Andriy) Derkach revealed in a press conference that Joe Biden was paid $900,000 for lobbying efforts from Burisma Holdings in Ukraine.

And now this…
On Friday Rudy Giuliani tweeted out a “Shocking Disclosure!”
According to Rudy’s sources — Much of the $5.3 billion in US Aid Ukraine reported as misused was given to the embassy’s favored NGO’s.

At the time Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, witness for the Witchunt, was the Ambassador. That embassy directed the police not to investigate.

Shocking disclosure: Much of the $5.3B in US Aid Ukraine reported as misused was given to the embassy’s favored NGO’s. At the time Yovanovitch, witness for the Witchunt, was the Amb. That embassy directed the police not to investigate. Wonder why Obama forgot Art. 2, Sec. 3.

Quote: Rudy Giuliani @RudyGiuliani


Presidential Legal Obligations 101:

Art 2, Sec. 3 of the US Constitution obligates the President to investigate and ask for investigations of corruption in countries we provide funds to.

Who ever heard of a president being impeached for carrying out his constitutional mandate?


Quote: Rudy Giuliani @RudyGiuliani

[url=https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1202949419580018688]
It comes as a huge shock to Democrats that @realDonaldTrump will ask for investigations concerning violations of US laws & misused hard-earned tax payer dollars.

It’s called his legal obligation under Article 2, Sec. 3 of the US Constitution. Ignored by Obama.

Absolutely! Whomever is acting as POTUS has a LEGAL OBLIGATION to investigate corruption in other countries that we provide funds to.

Democrats totally ignore the U.S. Constitution, and this is setting a dangerous precedent in government for our future.
I do hope people out there on the left realize this and vote the Democrats out in 2020. They have one mission, and one mission only: Destroy the U.S. Constitution and bring in a One World Government!

This latest news will surely put a damper on Biden's run for the 2020 Presidential race, as if his increasing "creepiness" isn't enough.

  India: The' Home Of The Rapists'.
Posted by: BIAD - 12-05-2019, 03:08 PM - Forum: General News and Events - Replies (4)

I used to wonder if the cliche "Lie Back And Think Of England" was sometimes offered from mothers to
their newly-wed daughters on their wedding nights. But now it seems that even a ring on a finger doesn't
matter, women in general should bite their knuckles and let any stranger have their way!

Maybe it's simply lost in translation or maybe it's just an entire set of world-perception that some men
in India have, but whatever it is, this one guy thinks rape is fine.
tinyhuh



Quote:Rape without violence ‘should be legalised’ and victims should ‘co-operate’, says filmmaker.

'A filmmaker has been slammed after he suggested that rape was ‘not a serious thing’ and that women
should co-operate if they are being raped.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6762]
People have called for a boycott of Daniel Shravan’s films following his comments.

Daniel Shravan also said that women should carry condoms in preparation for being raped as he tried
to explain why ‘non-violent’ sex attacks should be legalised.

He was speaking after vet Priyanka Reddy, 27, was raped by a man who offered to help her with a puncture
last week. Her charred body was found under an overpass near Hyderabad in India last week.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6763]
Priyanka Reddy’s charred body was found under a bridge after she had been raped and murdered.

In his extraordinary outburst he said ‘rape is not a serious thing, but murder is inexcusable.’ The [filmmaker]
also said ‘the government should legalise rape without violence for the safety of women.’

His argument was that once the ‘sexual desire is fulfilled, men wouldn’t kill women’, adding that women were
being killed because they fought back or used pepper spray. He said: ‘Rapists are not finding a way to get
their bodily sexual desires and getting these killing thoughts.

An evil thought provokes crime (Killing). Better, women should accept Men’s Sex.’ Shravan also said that the
Indian government was frightening rapists. His comments were roundly condemned and he later deleted the
post after people said they would boycott his films.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6764]

One person said: ‘What kind of sick mentality does he have?
Disgusting and disturbing. I am tired of this misogyny and victim blaming.’

Indian MP Jaya Bachchan has called for Priyanka Reddy’s rapists and killers to be ‘brought out in public and
lynched’. Her mother said she wants her daughter’s murderers to be burned alive. College student Sejal Kumar
said: ‘We are not safe anymore in India. We are scared to move out of our homes.’...'

I see Black-Face is two-faced now!



Quote:Nato summit: Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced' over video.

'US President Donald Trump has called Justin Trudeau "two-faced" over a video in which the Canadian
leader appears to mock him at a meeting of Nato leaders.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6760]

Footage showed Mr Trudeau, UK PM Boris Johnson and French leader Emmanuel Macron discussing
an impromptu press conference held by Mr Trump. Nato leaders agreed a statement of unity but the 70th
anniversary meeting held near London also saw several rows.

Mr Trump cancelled a press conference planned for after the summit.
He told reporters: "We'll go directly back. I think we've done plenty of news conferences."

What was in the video?
The brief video posted on Twitter by Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, showed Mr Trudeau chatting with
a group of leaders, including Mr Johnson, Mr Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Queen
Elizabeth's daughter Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace.

At the start of the footage, Mr Johnson asked Mr Macron: "Is that why you were late?"
Mr Trudeau then interjects: "He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top."

Mr Macron then appears to tell an anecdote, but his words are drowned out by background noise.
An amused Mr Trudeau then replies: "Oh yeah, yeah, he announced... [inaudible]. You just watched
his team's jaw drop to the floor."
None of them appeared to realise they were being recorded.

In response, Mr Trump said of Mr Trudeau: "He's two-faced... I find him to be a nice guy, but the truth is I called
him out on the fact that he's not paying 2% [of national GDP towards defence] and I guess he's not very happy
about it.

"He's not paying 2% and he should be paying 2%. Canada - they have money. Look, I'm representing the US
and he should be paying more than he's paying, he understands it... I can imagine he's not that happy but that's
the way it is."

Asked about the video, Mr Johnson told reporters: "It's complete nonsense. I don't know where that's come from."
Mr Trudeau later told reporters that they hadn't been laughing about Mr Trump's press conference, but about the
location of the next G7 summit - Camp David, the US presidential country retreat.

"I have a very good relationship with Trump," he added...'

Tongue Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties
Posted by: Ninurta - 12-04-2019, 09:56 AM - Forum: Political News and more - Replies (139)

There has been a movement over the past couple of years in the US to make individual counties "Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties". More recently, in Virginia (since the election of a communist government bought and paid for by Michael Bloomberg), that movement has taken off like a wildfire. Every day, more of our counties are climbing on the bandwagon in response to the new government promising to take our firearms and/or make instant felons of us. Last week in southwestern Virginia, several counties signed on, and so far this week at least 3 more have: Russell County, Tazewell County, and my own county of Buchanan.

This should serve as notice to the totalitarians like Bloomberg that we have had enough, but it probably won't - to steal a line from "Cool Hand Luke", "What we've got here is failure to communicate. There are some men that you just can't reach... then you get what we've got here today. I don't like this any more than you men do."

Here is the video from the Board of Supervisors meeting yesterday in Buchanan County in which an emergency resolution was passed making Buchanan a Second Amendment Sanctuary County:





Watch it while you can, if you want to see it - YouTube has a track record of removing videos promoting freedom and liberty. The title of it is misleading - only an emergency resolution was passed, not an ordinance. To pass an ordinance, the county has first to publish it for two consecutive weeks before the vote to make citizens aware. The vote on an Ordinance is set for a public hearing on 6 January at 6 PM local time. I'll be there.

As I mentioned before, across the state this movement has caught on like wildfire, spurred on by promises of the new communist government to disarm the citizenry. As of 6 PM today, here is a map showing just which counties have passed resolutions, and which counties are holding them under consideration:


[Image: _57.gif]


The map, too, is somewhat deceptive. For example, the red areas are listed as "no action", but in fact some of them have actively rejected the proposal - the City of Roanoke comes to mind. They rejected it, but I don't plan on hanging out in crime-ridden Roanoke any time soon, so I care nary a whit what they want on their own criminal-overrun turf. Not my problem. In Prince William County, surrounding Manassas (that's "Bull Run" to the Yankees in the audience), the chief of the new County Board of Supervisors has already promised to rescind any 2nd Amendment Sanctuary resolutions passed by the current Board when the new one sits in January, so we can probably count that one out as well.

Notice how all the red areas on the map are URBAN areas. Those folks seem to like protecting their criminals. Not so much out here in the hinterlands... and notice how the gun-grabber areas are completely surrounded by areas who are saying "not so fast there, Jack...". That can lead to commotions, when some folks on a tiny patch of land decide they can tell other folks on a much larger patch of land, with a lot more freedom of movement (and who have them surrounded and cut off from the world if they so desire) how to live their own lives. Carpet-bagging communist Yankees have infiltrated and packed the cities with Leftists, and those votes swung the election  with the help and money of Bloomberg. He's bought himself one of the finest communist legislatures money can buy, with the help of the infiltrators. If push comes to shove, they better figure out quick how to airlift supplies in, or they'll starve to death in blockades of the cities.

In Tazewell County, TWO resolutions were passed last night, one making the county a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary, and another promoting and authorizing a militia. I'm not going to lie, when I saw that on the news I started crying, and  that just isn't a normal state of affairs for me. They weren't tears of joy as some may charge me with, but quite the contrary. I love these people here, and if they start packing up and going to war, some of them are going to die... and I don't want any of them to. If they DON'T start packing up and preparing for war, then they are going to get steamrolled by the enemy. It's a Hobbs' Choice. I know what choice I'll make, but it pains me that the same choice is going to get some of them killed when they make it.

In Buchanan County, as can be seen in the video, the resolution of Sanctuary and the authorization for a militia were combined into the same resolution. I don't yet know how the other Sanctuary Counties have gone regarding authorization of a militia.

 I've kept my equipment up all these years, and my powder dry, hoping I'd never have to use it again. Still, it's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. A time should come when even old warriors find peace with no new wars to fight, and can bounce their grandkids on their knee in the sunshine while said children are tangling their fingers up in the old man's long gray beard. I'd always hoped for that time, but never really expected to live long enough to see it... and it looks like I was right. Some folks are just not happy unless they are telling other folks what they can and can't do, ignoring right and wrong. So, it seems the time may be upon us again to gird our loins and sally forth to battle evil, in the hopes that maybe OUR grandkids will have that time in the sunshine with THEIR grandkids.

250 years or so ago, much the same situation produced a revolution, giving birth to a new nation called The United States of America. The British outlawed possession of arms, and to enforce that, they marched on the magazine Stores at Concord New Hampshire and Williamsburg, Virginia. The rest is history. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and it's the rest of us left to suffer when the folks opposing that, who think we're very capable of making our own choices and living our own lives as WE see fit don't come home, ever.

There is something broken inside me. I don't have good sense it seems, and when gunfire starts, my dumb ass runs straight for it. I always have. So my decision is made - it was previously a decision between fight and flight, but if everyone else is going to stand up, I can't let them die alone.

What free person wants to continue living in a communist world, anyhow?

  Kamala Harris Drops out of the presidential race
Posted by: 727Sky - 12-03-2019, 10:59 PM - Forum: 2020 Presidential Race - Replies (4)

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-...ntial-race

Quote:Sen. Kamala Harris will drop out of 2020 race
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris informs her staff that she is suspending her campaign; Peter Doocy reports.
California Sen. Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced that she is withdrawing from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, after failing to capitalize on early enthusiasm for her campaign and watching her poll numbers collapse.
"In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do," Harris wrote in an email to supporters. "So, to you my supporters, it is with deep regret -- but also with deep gratitude -- that I am suspending my campaign today."
An aide said Harris informed staff Tuesday she is ending her White House bid.

HARRIS' AIDES BELIEVE GABBARD ATTACKS ACCELERATED 2020 WOES
Harris entered the race in January as a top contender and had a breakout moment in the first debate thanks to a memorable clash with then-frontrunner Joe Biden over his record on desegregation busing.
But she's struggled to shine through in subsequent debates and has seen her poll numbers plunge in recent months. In November, Harris dramatically cut her staff in New Hampshire, the state that holds the first primary in the race for the White House, to focus on Iowa.
The Harris campaign was also hemorrhaging money, spending more than what was coming in, amid tough media coverage about the campaign's struggles. She becomes one of the biggest candidates yet to drop out of the crowded 2020 primary field, two months before the lead-off Iowa caucuses. Her exit follows the withdrawal of former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, another Democrat who entered the race to great fanfare but later struggled.
Campaigning in Iowa on Tuesday, Biden said of Harris, "I have mixed emotions about it because she is really a solid, solid person. And loaded with talent."
As word spread of her dropping out on Tuesday, Harris' husband, Douglas Emhoff, tweeted, "I've got you. As always."

Harris launched her campaign in front of 20,000 people at a chilly, outdoor event in January. The first woman and first black attorney general and U.S. senator in California's history, she was widely viewed as a candidate poised to excite the same segment of voters that sent Barack Obama to the White House.
