A VERY RUSSIAN COUP

It looks llike Medvedev, with the backing of The City of Lizards London, is making a quick and powerful move in the race to be President of Russia.

In the FT yesterday Medvedev was portrayed as the saviour of Russia, a moderniser, while Putin was compared to a simpleton caveman keeping Russian business Russian and dependent on exports of fossil fuel[1]. Of course, modernisation means privatisation and selling off state assets to foreign businesses. Hence the support of the City of Lizards London for Medvedev.

Medvedev now has the confidence to implicitly warn Putin of a civil war(!) if too much power is concentrated in one man's hands[2].

But what Medvedev does not seem to understand is that by selling off state assets to foregn businesses, particularly those with links to the City of Lizards London, he will be placing too much power in the hands of genocidal warmngering megalomaniacs!
