RUSSIAN
PRESIDENT, PUTIN WARNS AGAINST
MEDDLING IN UKRAINE
By STEVE GUTTERMAN, Associated
Press Writer
ANKARA,
Turkey - President Vladimir Putin
said Russia was willing to work with
whoever is elected in Ukraine's new
presidential runoff, but strongly
warned the West on Monday not to try
to force its vision of democracy on
other nations.
In
his first public comments since the
Ukrainian Supreme Court ruled the
second round presidential election
was fraudulent and ordered a revote,
Putin said countries were welcome to
help mediate Ukraine's crisis, but
should not meddlee.
"Only
the people of any
country and this
includes Ukraine in the full sense -
can decide their fate," Putin
told reporters after meeting Turkish
President Ahmet Necdet Sezer.
"One
can play the role of a mediator, but
one must not meddle and apply
pressure," Putin said in a
tacit reference to Western
countries, which have been taking
part in negotiations to defuse the
Ukraine crisis.
On
the eve of the Supreme Court's
ruling Friday, Putin had ridiculed
Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor
Yushchenko's call for a repeat of
the bitterly disputed runoff - again
staking his position clearly on the
side of Yushchenko's rival for
office, Prime Minister Viktor
Yanukovych.
Some
Western countries have issued veiled
criticism of Russia for what they
contend was meddling in Ukrainian
politics. Last week, President Bush
said any new election in Ukraine
should be free from outside
interference - in remarks
apparently directed at Russia.
Putin
left open how Russia will react to
the repeat runoff, scheduled for
Dec. 26.
But
he said:""Of course we
will ... accept the will of any
nation in the former Soviet space,
and will work with any elected
leader."
The
comment suggested Russia could
accept the runoff result, but his
criticism of changing laws and his
past congratulations of Yanukovych
as the winner left it unclear
whether the Kremlin considers the
new vote will reflect the will of
Ukraine's deeply divided people.
Putin
rejected Western accusations, saying
Russia acted "absolutely
correctly" in disputes
throughout the former Soviet Union.
He suggested forces in the West were
seeking to create new divisions in
Europe for their political purposes.
"I
don't want, as in Germany, for us to
divide Europe into Westerners and
Easterners, into first-class and
second-class people, where the
first-class people have the
opportunity to live by stable,
democratic laws and the second
category of people are those with,
to speak metaphorically, dark
political skin," Putin said.
He
said the second-class people would
be subjected to "a nice but
stern man in a helmet who will show
them under what political
understanding they must live. And
if, God forbid, the ungrateful
foreigner resists, he will be
punished with bombs and missiles, as
it was in Belgrade."
"This
I consider completely
unacceptable."
Russia
vehemently objected to the 1999 NATO
bombing campaign against Yugoslavia,
Russia's ally, which badly damaged
Russia's relations with NATO and
particularly the United States.
Resentment persists over the
assault, which ended Serbian forces'
crackdown on separatist ethnic
Albanians in Kosovo.
Putin
delivered his comments as EU foreign
policy chief Javier Solana and other
mediators headed to Kiev for new
talks with Ukrainian leaders.
In
Brussels, EU spokeswoman Emma Udwin
said the 25-nation bloc was not
seeking to create new divisions over
Ukraine.
"We
are not meddling in Ukraine; OSCE
observers were invited in," she
said, referring to the Organization
for Security and Cooperation (news
- web
sites) in Europe, an
election-monitoring agency.
Putin
suggested voters in Ukraine were now
under pressure to support the pro-Yushchenko
opposition, which has put hundreds
of thousands of protesters in the
streets and has won the support of
many Western countries and
organizations.
""Of
course, it is completely
unacceptable for threats to be
addressed to people that leave them
with no choice, when one of the
political leaders says that
'whatever happens, whatever the
result of elections, we will take
power - including by
force," Putin said.
"This is not just pressure, it
is scaring people."
The
Ukrainian opposition warned
repeatedly before the court ruling
that they were prepared to take
"immediate adequate
actions" if the
government tried to drag out the
political crisis - an apparent hint
at more radical measures.
Since
the court ruling, Yushchenko has
called supporters not to leave their
demonstration in Kiev's Independence
Square.
In
an interview with Britain's Sunday
Telegraph, he spoke more forcefully.
"If
the old regime tries to interfere in
any way and tries to defy the will
of the people and of parliament, we
will simply storm our way into the
Cabinet office. This is what the
people expect," Yushchenko was
quoted as saying.
CAN
WE TRUST
THE RUSSIANS ?
By
Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
U.S.
President Jimmy Carter said,
"The thing that disappointed me
the most was that Leonid Brezhnev
lied to me." How naive
can you get?
IN
1992 BORIS YELTSIN STATED BEFORE
US
CONGRESS & THE WORLD - "WE
HAVE
LIED TO YOU FOR 70 YEARS"
In
1992, Russian President Boris
Yeltsin stated before the US
Congress and the world: "We
have lied to you for 70 years. I
promise you no more lies."
Boris
Yeltsin with all his weaknesses
(booze, etc) was probably the most
honest leader Russia has had. And it
is difficult to know what President
Putin will do now, given the
arrogance of NATO and the European
Union and his expertise in
information gathering!
That
Russia is out for vindication,
revenge & respect is no secret!
When you consider that Russia is now
viewed as 'not much better'
than a Third World Country
-with a vast deteriorating and
dangerous stock-pile of nuclear
weapons - which constantly has to
resort to bailouts and handouts from
the West, just to keep afloat, then
we begin to understand that country!
A
MOTHER BEAR BEREFT OF HER CUBS IS
VERY DANGEROUS
Russia,
having lost control of most of the
former Soviet Union’s Republics
and having trouble holding on to the
ones she still has (e.g. Chechnya),
is hurting badly!
Now
with Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia
soon to enter the NATO Pact, the
Russians are feeling frustrated,
angry, humiliated and isolated!
NATO'S
BOMBINGS OF YUGOSLAVIA WAS
THE BOOST THAT RUSSIA BADLY NEEDED
A
terrific anger boiled over in
Russia, Ukraine, Belerus and even
Greece during NATO’s horrific
out-of-control bombing & missile
attacks on an independent sovereign
nation in Europe - who had been our
ALLY during two world wars - while
Albania & Croatia joined in with
the Nazis!
The
arrogance of NATO terribly upset
China and other nations as well. And
the lies that were told by President
Clinton & NATO spokesmen
justifying the war, together with
outrageous lies about the damage
inflicted upon the Serbian Military
Machine, ARE NOW BEING EXPOSED!
NATO’s
constant ferocious bombardment of
Yugoslavia, destroying power grids,
oil depots, water facilities,
automobile factories, bridges,
buses, trains, schools, prisons,
hospitals and even cemeteries made
the Russian’s blood boil!
During
the height of the inhumane campaign
and after NATO murdered in cold
blood - premeditated murder - nearly
20 civilians at the television
station, 68,000 young Russians who
had been evading conscription into
the army, joined up to fight NATO!
I
think that great anti-Communist
Aleksander Solzhenitsyn said it
best? “I don’t see any
difference in the behaviour of NATO
and of Hitler. NATO wants to erect
its own order in the world and it
needs Yugoslavia simply as an
example: We’ll punish Yugoslavia
and the whole rest of the world will
tremble.”
PRESIDENT
CLINTON TOLD THE TRUTH
FOR ONCE
President
Clinton told the truth for once when
he elaborated: "If we’re
going to have a strong economic
relationship that includes our
ability to sell around the world,
Europe has got to be the key;
That’s what this Kosovo thing is
all about..it's globalism versus
tribalism."
The
war had nothing to do with refugees.
As a matter of fact, it was NATO who
created most of the refugees -
It had to do with the economy and
the New World Order!
The
Russians were outraged. The speaker
of the Russian Duma stated:
"Yugoslavia annoys NATO because
it conducts an independent policy,
does not want to join NATO and has
an attractive geographic
position."
COPTIC
CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED BY
MUSLIMS ASK, "WHY NOT PROTECT
US"?
Freda
Lindsay reports in 'Christ For The
Nations' (October 1999):
"The
Coptic (Christian) American Union
blasted the US official (Balkans)
position...which seems to favor
Muslims against.. Christians...Our
women are raped, our children
kidnapped, our community being
ethnic cleansed by a government
which is receiving US foreign
aid".
Watchmen
from Jerusalem - 6/99). WHY NOT US?
"In Beirut, … the World
Maronite (Christian) Union said,
"Why is the US government
mobilizing to solve the issue of
Kosovo by bombing Orthodox Serbia,
while we Christians of Lebanon were
invaded by the Syrian army in 1990
with total US endorsement?'
Dr.
Mohammed…for the South Sudan
(Christian) Movement in America
said…“In South Sudan, we lost
2.5 million people, mostly
Christians because of…Islamic
attacks…Yet we never saw US
fighter bombers in our skies…Are
white Muslims more valuable than
Black Christians”?
Terry
Madison of Open Doors says Saudi
Arabia "has the dubious title
of being the world’s worst
persecutor of Christians, closely
followed by Afghanistan, Sudan and
China." Assist
Communications - 7/9/99).
Freda
Lindsay writes: "In Desert
Storm, the US went to war with Iraq
to protect the Saudis; our soldiers
are still there! Why does the US
continue to support countries that
are antagonistic toward Christians?
America's Future?"
"In
a National Post, June 23, 1999
article titled, 'Globalism's First
Victim', author David Orchard
writes: The idea that NATO attacked
Yugoslavia to solve a humanitarian
crisis is about as credible as
Germany's claim in 1939 that it was
invading Poland to prevent
"Polish atrocities."
The United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR) reported the
first registered refugees out of
Kosovo on March 27 - three days
after the bombing began. Civilian
casualties after 21 days of bombing
exceeded all casualties on both
sides in Kosovo in the three months
before the war.
"In
an all out effort to convince public
opinion that Yugoslavia deserved the
onslaught, Western politicians and
media are churning out endless
accusations of Serb atrocities,
while the proven and infinitely
greater atrocities of NATO-
launching an aggressive war, using
internationally outlawed cluster
bombs and firing depleted uranium
ammunition into Yugoslavia - are
buried."
"Why
did NATO attack Yugoslavia and why
are Serbs - Canada's staunch allies
in both world wars, with 1.5 million
dead resisting Hitler's Nazis and
Italian fascism - being
demonized?"
"Most
19th-century wars were over trade.
When the United States invaded
Canada in 1812, Andrew Jackson
declared, 'We are going
to...vindicate our right to a free
trade, and open markets...and to
carry the Republican standard to the
Heights of Abraham.' In 1839,
Britain demanded China accept its
opium and attacked when China said
no. When Thailand refused British
trading demands in 1849, Britain
'found its presumption unbounded'
and decided 'a better-disposed King
be placed on the throne...and
through him, we might, beyond doubt,
gain all we desire'."
"In
1999, NATO said it was attacking
Yugoslavia to force it to sign the
Rambouillet 'peace agreement' (even
though the Vienna Convention states
that any treaty obtained by force or
the threat of force is void)."
"Significantly,
Rambouillet stipulated: 'The economy
of Kosovo shall function in
accordance with free-market
principles', and 'There shall be no
impediments to the free movement of
persons, goods, services and capital
to and from Kosovo'.
CAN
THE RUSSIANS TRUST US?
Can
we trust the Russians? I don't think
so! The Word of God tells us that
one day Russia will join with
Germany, Turkey, Ethiopia, Libya
& Iran and they will march
against Israel. (read Ezekiel 38
& 39)
Almighty
God will then fight for her people
as He did in the Yom Kippur War
(1973) when Arab commanders left
their tanks fully operational with
motors running: as they fled in
fear. When they were interrogated,
the Arab prisoners related how they
had seen men dressed in white
flowing garments with flaming swords
- no doubt angels of God - so they
fled for their lives!
NATO
& THE EUROPEAN UNION HAVE ONE
GOAL - TO SET UP THE NEW WORLD ORDER
CAN
THE RUSSIANS TRUST US? Definitely
not! NATO and the European Union
have one goal and that is to set up
the New World Order and
inadvertently have made everything
ready for the Antichrist when he
arrives on the scene!
One
thing is certain: President Clinton
and NATO have put into place the
Armed Force that the European Union
needed and couldn't organize until
the Yugoslavia War. It will
eventually become the Anti-Christ's
'Armed Forces'. That is how close we
are to the Coming of Jesus!
JUDGMENT
IS COMING TO THIS WICKED
WORLD
Recent
reports confirm that Russian
generals were involved in Ethiopia's
victory over Eritrea. And Russia is
helping Iran to build a nuclear
reactor!
German
companies have been deeply involved
for the past decade or so supplying
Saddam Hussein of Iraq with
materials and technology in his
building of facilities that produce
poisonous gas and bacterial agents
for germ warfare, with their
government looking the other way!
Japan
is heavily into re-arming due to
fear of North Korea, China has
stolen all USA's vital nuclear
secrets - atomic, neutron &
hydrogen bombs - and recently two
laptop computers, with the CODE WORD
for their atomic secrets, spy
networks and the 'Mother Lode' of
the world's most advanced technology
- have been stolen from their top
security labs!
And
the European Union (EU) has made it
known that they do not need the USA
or NATO any longer. They now have
their own 'Armed Forces' capable of
settling all conflicts in Europe -
even in Ukraine - as well as North
Korea, if necessary!
Some
historians believe that the Clinton
Whitehouse will go down in history
as the most corrupt of any in the
USA.
It’s
ironic when you consider the mindset
of Americans: "After his
impeachment by the US Congress,
President Bill Clinton was voted the
most admired man in that country;
even though only one out of every
ten surveyed said they believed he
was trustworthy & honest"!
THE
JUDGMENT OF ALMIGHTY GOD IS
GOING TO FALL UPON THIS WORLD
The
JUDGMENT OF GOD is about to fall
upon this wicked world and the USA
with their greed, corruption &
perversion are going to be in the
forefront of the judgment because of
their sin.
And
here in Canada, we’re not far
behind. O’ God help us is my
prayer! Amen.
