ON THE NATO MEDIA KHORDOKOVSKY LOVE-IN

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime - Honore de Balzac

Mikhail Khordokovsky has been in prison for 8 years convicted of tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement and money laundering. At the time of his arrest he was one of the richest men in Russia.

But behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

Khordokovsky gained his fortune from Yukos. Under alcoholic Boris Yeltsin, in 1995 Khordokovsky bought Russian state oil company Yukos at a bargain basement price, the previous year having been Deputy Chairman of The Council for Industrial Policy and Privatization. Khordokovsky assisted Yeltsin's campain in 1996 which led to Khordokovsky being given access to the corridors of power and state finance.

Somewhere along the way Khordokovsky became an asset of the Rothschilds. In 2001 Khordokovsky founded The Open Russia Foundation, with Lord Jacob Rothschild and Henry Kissinger on its board of trustees, and its official launch in Somerset House, London, a building owned by the Rothschilds. The aim of the ORF was to open up Russia to bargain basement privatization, much like what happened here with the recent scandal from the cheap sale of Royal Mail. And upon Khordokovsky's arrest in 2003 Khordokovsky tried to give his shares in Yukos to Lord Jacob Rothschild.

The Guardian loves Khordokovsky. It has championed Khordokovsky's case, even going so far as to write an editorial under Khordokovsky's name! A few days ago I provided an analysis of The Guardian's editorials regarding Syria; to put it mildly The Guardian detests Assad, possibly more than it detests Putin.

So to add to that analysis we now have this:
1. nearly everyone in Russia hates Mikhail Khordokovsky because behind his great fortune lies a great crime, or in Khordokovsky's case, crimes, crimes against the Russian people, crimes for which he has been in prison for over 8 years; but The Guardian loves Mikhail Khordokovsky!
2. Khordokovsky appears to be an asset of the Rothschilds, which would explain why the NATO media and its human rights organisations have pushed Khordokovsky's case, and why there is great celebration that such a convicted criminal has been released early.

The world now waits for what surprises Prince Bandar bin Sultan has for Putin at the Sochi Winter Olympics...
