Proving once again that simply arresting jews and putting them in prison does not work.


Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s jail term to be cut

Moscow
Thursday 20 December 2012

A Russian court announced that former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky should be released from prison in 2014, taking two years off the jail sentence for Russia’s richest man.

Khodorkovsky, who ran the Yukos oil company, has been behind bars since 2003, after being convicted on charges of tax evasion and embezzlement. It is widely believed that he was targeted because he disregarded an implicit deal with President Vladimir Putin that the so-called “oligarchs” could keep their fortunes as long as they did not meddle in politics.

During his time in prison, Khodorkovsky has undergone something of a transformation, going from dubious businessman to darling of the opposition, penning a number of thoughtful articles and letters on the future of Russia.

Many now believe he could become a credible figurehead under which the opposition to Mr Putin could unite upon his release. As such, yesterday’s announcement that his sentence has been cut came as a surprise.

Mr Putin denied that he had interfered in any of the court decisions to do with Khodorkovsky. “There was no personal persecution,” he said. “This is purely an economic crime. The court made its decision.”

Even as there was good news for Khodorkovsky, Russian investigators brought new charges against the man widely believed to have the best chances of any opposition leader of posing a real threat to Mr Putin in the medium-term future yesterday. Alexey Navalny, a charismatic anti-corruption blogger who has been one of the leaders of recent street protests against Mr Putin’s rule, was charged yesterday along with his brother Oleg of orchestrating a scheme to cheat the Russian postal service of 55m roubles (£1.1m). He has already been charged with stealing from a state timber company, and if found guilty could potentially face a lengthy jail term.

Mr Navalny denies all the charges and says he is being targeted for his opposition activity and anti-corruption investigations.

Sad to learn that he seems to be clearing out so soon, and frankly, I'm a bit suprised to hear it.

The only comment (now listed) on the article:

"No one has commented yet"

In fact *I* commented. I commented that Khodorkovsky was the CROOK who stole 100% of the money deposited by clients in his St Petersburg bank, "Bank Menatep" in 1998.

A year later, he'd bought a billion-dollar stake in Yukos with the money he'd stolen from pensioners, small businesses and private savers.

This scum should stay in jail for the rest of his stinking life, and they can throw the key away too.

Mysteriously that post was deleted. Probably by Shaun Wa*ker.

From the article:

... Many now believe he could become a credible figurehead under which the opposition to Mr Putin could unite upon his release. As such, yesterday’s announcement that his sentence has been cut came as a surprise.

I wouldn't mind this being the case, though I doubt it. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that Khodorkovsky is a kike villain/embezzler of the first order. And my impression is that is also how the great majority of Russians think of him. Even with all the possible media-backing in the world, I just can't see how one could ever pick him as a really serious political figurehead. That is just to extreme, or rather: it' just plain stupid. ...but, then again, we've often seen the pathological hubris displace the typical slyness, and the hand getitng overplayed, so perhaps they really are serious about this.


But what is certain is that a great deal of energy has been put into whitewashing arch-jew swindler Khodorkovsky's reputation for years now, and the oligarch-Lebedev owned 'The Independent' seems to be one of those leading the effort. Their reporting is beyond bad - and ridiculously biased.

From last year (the title says it all):
Poignant pen from prison cell of Russian oligarch

- Khodorkovsky's son says smuggled writings reveal a changed man

Eight years ago today, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested on the tarmac at a Siberian airport. Since then, he has been behind bars and has undergone an extraordinary transformation from a ruthless businessman and the richest man in Russia, to a pensive prisoner smuggling out handwritten literary sketches of life behind bars.

Sentenced to eight years in jail for money laundering and fraud, Khodorkovsky would have been released today were it not for a second trial that concluded last year and extended his sentence until 2016. Khodorkovsky's son Pavel, who lives in New York, told The Independent yesterday that he believed that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who recently announced that he will return to the Kremlin next year, holds a personal grudge against his father.

"Until the second verdict we were looking forward to this day, the whole family couldn't wait for this day," said Pavel Khodorkovsky. "But Putin is really intent on keeping my father in jail for as long as he's in power."

Khodorkovsky is following a long tradition of Russian exiles, prisoners and camp inmates by putting pen to paper.Yep, Mikhail is up there with Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn and the other greats. :rolleyes: He has written lengthy exchanges with contemporary Russian authors and has penned opinion pieces on the state of Russian politics for leading newspapers. Recently, however, his writings have taken a more colourful turn, writing a series called "Prison Folk" for the weekly magazine The New Times. His style is matter-of-factI seriously doubt that. Your journalism certainly's NOT, that's for sure at least., laced with a light irony and moments of compassion.

"After so many years in prison, I'm certainly not going to idealise the people I meet here," wrote Russia's most famous prisoner in one of the columns. "But many of the inmates do have principles." Khodorkovsky writes about a young prisoner called Kolya, behind bars for drugs-related offences. The police, keen to up their quota of solved crimes, suggest that he admits to another crime he didn't commit. Kolya agrees on condition that he can choose to serve his time in a prison near to his family. However, when they tell him he has to admit to robbing an old lady, he refuses and ends up harming himself in protest. Wow... what a beautiful heroic story. You sure have found yourself a nice "principled", honorable, admirable fellow in Kolya there, Mikhail; a drug dealer that has been sent to jail on numerous occasions.


"I look at this man who has been to prison many times, and think with bitterness about the many people on the outside who sell their honour much more cheaply, and wouldn't think it a crime at all to take a couple of thousand roubles off an old woman, but would cover their crime with clever words," Khodorkovsky wrote. "I can't help but be proud of Kolya.":rofl LOL. Projection much? No Mikhail, only in your jew-oligarch swindle psycopath circles would stealing money from an old woman NOT be considered "a crime". And stealing billions from millions of poor, destitute Russians, ravaged by a century of unspeakable crimes comitted by your ethnic brethren, should NOT have earned you the comfortable stay in prison that you're currently enjoying; but a rendezvous with the noose. I still hope that one day due justice will be served.

The jailed businessman's son says the columns show how much his father has changed in prison. "He has gone from a pragmatic, efficient businessman who only judges people on the work they do to being a much softer, more compassionate person," he said.

Pathological hubris indeed.

Yes it is true that the vast majority of Russians view him as the criminal that he is but NEVER underestimate what jewish money media and US/EU political support can do. I speak from Serbian experience, where ZOG was able to take all the motley unrepresentative marginal and criminal deviant leftist groups, which most people considered politically irrelevant, and basically organize them and turn them into a serious political force which was put into power. This group then began destroying Serbia at a far more rapid pace, and the rest is history.:rolleyes: The people being sheep offered no serious resistance to this. We also saw how their puppet Yeltsin, who was hated by the overwhelming majority of Russians, was able to rule Russia as a dictator back in the 90s, so nothing should really be surprising.

We have an old saying that those who were bitten by snakes also become scared of lizards.

Of course I'm not saying that jew criminal Khodorkovsky will certainly have a future in Russian politics, just that even that wouldn't surprise me too much as I have seen it all.

True. I've found that even if you think you've taking the full rotteness into consideration, you do best in letting the thought reloop a couple of time more to make sure that you're really not underestimating it in your aryan way of thinking after all. Perhaps this is a case in point.

But it's not so much that Khodorkovsky would be necessarily worse than any other jew-globalist serving shill - because in all things relevant, he would serve the same agenda- it's just that it would be so symbolically disgusting and farcical to see his swindling rat face up there.

But when you see it from the point of view of the so called "opposition", and considers what makes political sense, it seems like quite an unneccesarily hard road to walk (path of least resistance and all that), especially so as Putin and the saner forces in Russia still have the upper hand.

With that said, Khodorkovsky no doubt has huge (stolen) resources at his disposal, if he's in fact seriously hoping to promote himself as a political figurehead. If so, it would indeed appear to be more of an ego/personal/vendetta/hubris thing.

... and as relates to the "oppostition", this has to be said: surely any real, serious, legitimate oppositional-movement, that is really working with the interest of the Russian people at heart, must hate this fucking piece of shit jew-criminal? Right? And recognize that even if not perfect, Putin really saved Russia from a total catastrophe and after drunken shill puppet Jeltsin and jew-oligarchs had nearly ravaged the country? A true litmus-test if there ever was one.

If there isn't one already, a short write-up over in the (impressively) pretty much one-man- maintained subforum would be very appreciated; outlining what took place as regards the domestic political situation under occupation; covering significant developments and events, and the lessons that can be learned from what took place.

The opposition in Russia is fractured and not united over anything apart from their hatred of Putin. There is everything there from pro EU liberals to old guard communists all the way through to radical NS groups.

The jew understands that the first thing to do is to 'unite' all these groups, and in uniting them they will throw a few bones to each group in order to get them behind the man they have chosen to stand against Putin. Once the task is complete and they have eliminated their hated enemy Putin, and completely torn down the old power structure ,it will be a different game and these used up undesirables will simply be tossed aside and politically marginalized, similar to what happened with the stupid right wingers in Serbia many of who also came out onto the streets to topple Milosevic in 2000, not realizing that they were useful idiots being used by their enemies the Soros globalists and their NATO enforcers. Propaganda was pumped out {USA tax payer funded Otpor} and appeals were made to these christian dirt eaters by very clever traitors who were loudly accusing Milosevic of being the only one responsible for losing Kosovo and that because of that he had to go. These western funded local atheists were also accusing Milosevic of being a godless communist, therefore an enemy of Serbian nationalists. Idiotic christian sheep bought it and the rest is history:rolleyes:

This is something that volumes can be written about and it really should be done properly and in detail. I may start a thread about it in Serbian section, the activity tactics and organization, how it all came about, how these leftist pro NATO agitators managed to successfully tap into the frustration of an already defeated bombed poverty stricken demoralized nation and channel their bitterness and anger in the direction which benefited them and their foreign sponsors.

Khodorkovsky would have the full backing of the U.S. State Dept and all the intelligence agencies with their bloated budgets, not to mention unlimited worldwide Zionist support.
