An excerpt characterizing Katasonov, Valentin Yurievich

I would say that all rivers should be navigable for everyone, that the sea should be common, that permanent, large armies should be reduced to the sole guard of sovereigns, etc.
Returning to France, to my homeland, great, strong, magnificent, calm, glorious, I would proclaim its borders unchanged; any future defensive war; any new distribution is anti-national; I would add my son to the reign of the empire; my dictatorship would end, his constitutional rule would begin...
Paris would be the capital of the world and the French would be the envy of all nations!...
Then my leisure and last days would have been dedicated, with the help of the empress and during the royal education of my son, to visit little by little, like a real village couple, on their own horses, all corners of the state, receiving complaints, eliminating injustices, scattering buildings in all directions and everywhere, and beneficence.]
He, destined by providence for the sad, unfree role of the executioner of peoples, assured himself that the goal of his actions was the good of the peoples and that he could guide the destinies of millions and, through power, do good deeds!
“Des 400,000 hommes qui passerent la Vistule,” he wrote further on the Russian war, “la moitie etait Autrichiens, Prussiens, Saxons, Polonais, Bavarois, Wurtembergeois, Mecklembourgeois, Espagnols, Italiens, Napolitains. L "armee imperiale, proprement dite, etait pour un tiers composee de Hollandais, Belges, habitants des bords du Rhin, Piemontais, Suisses, Genevois, Toscans, Romains, habitants de la 32 e division militaire, Breme, Hambourg, etc .; elle comptait a peine 140000 hommes parlant francais. L "expedition do Russie couta moins de 50000 hommes a la France actuelle; l "armee russe dans la retraite de Wilna a Moscou, dans les differentes batailles, a perdu quatre fois plus que l" armee francaise; l "incendie de Moscou a coute la vie a 100000 Russes, morts de froid et de misere dans les bois; enfin dans sa marche de Moscou a l" Oder, l "armee russe fut aussi atteinte par, l" intemperie de la saison; elle ne comptait a son arrivee a Wilna que 50,000 hommes, et a Kalisch moins de 18,000.”
[Of the 400,000 who crossed the Vistula, half were Austrians, Prussians, Saxons, Poles, Bavarians, Wirtembergers, Mecklenburgers, Spaniards, Italians and Neapolitans. The imperial army, in fact, was one third made up of Dutch, Belgians, inhabitants of the banks of the Rhine, Piedmontese, Swiss, Genevans, Tuscans, Romans, inhabitants of the 32nd military division, Bremen, Hamburg, etc .; there were hardly 140,000 French-speaking people in it. The Russian expedition cost France proper less than 50,000 men; the Russian army in the retreat from Vilna to Moscow in various battles lost four times more than the French army; the fire of Moscow cost the lives of 100,000 Russians who died of cold and poverty in the forests; finally, during its transition from Moscow to the Oder, the Russian army also suffered from the severity of the season; upon arrival in Vilna, it consisted of only 50,000 people, and in Kalisz less than 18,000.]
He imagined that by his will there was a war with Russia, and the horror of what had happened did not strike his soul. He boldly assumed the full responsibility of the event, and his bewildered mind saw the justification in the fact that among the hundreds of thousands dead people there were fewer French than Hessians and Bavarians.

Several tens of thousands of people lay dead in different positions and uniforms in the fields and meadows that belonged to the Davydovs and state peasants, in those fields and meadows in which for hundreds of years the peasants of the villages of Borodino, Gorok, Shevardin and Semenovsky had simultaneously harvested and grazed cattle. At the dressing stations for the tithe, the grass and earth were saturated with blood. Crowds of wounded and unwounded different teams of people, with frightened faces, on the one hand wandered back to Mozhaisk, on the other hand - back to Valuev. Other crowds, exhausted and hungry, led by the chiefs, went forward. Others stood still and continued to shoot.
Over the whole field, formerly so cheerfully beautiful, with its sparkles of bayonets and smoke in the morning sun, there was now a haze of dampness and smoke and smelled of the strange acid of saltpeter and blood. Clouds gathered, and it began to rain on the dead, on the wounded, on the frightened, and on the exhausted, and on the doubting people. It was like he was saying, “Enough, enough, people. Stop... Come to your senses. What are you doing?"
Exhausted, without food and without rest, the people of both sides began to equally doubt whether they should still exterminate each other, and hesitation was noticeable on all faces, and in every soul the question was equally raised: “Why, for whom should I kill and be killed? Kill whoever you want, do whatever you want, and I don't want any more!" By the evening this thought had equally matured in the soul of everyone. Any minute all these people could be horrified by what they were doing, drop everything and run anywhere.
But although by the end of the battle people felt the full horror of their act, although they would have been glad to stop, some incomprehensible, mysterious force still continued to guide them, and, sweaty, covered in gunpowder and blood, remaining one by three, artillerymen, although and stumbling and choking with fatigue, they brought charges, charged, directed, applied wicks; and the cannonballs just as quickly and cruelly flew from both sides and flattened the human body, and that terrible deed continued to be done, which is done not by the will of people, but by the will of the one who guides people and worlds.
Anyone who would look at the upset behinds of the Russian army would say that the French should make one more small effort, and the Russian army will disappear; and whoever looked at the backs of the French would say that the Russians had to make one more small effort and the French would perish. But neither the French nor the Russians made this effort, and the flames of the battle slowly burned out.
The Russians did not make this effort because they did not attack the French. At the beginning of the battle, they only stood on the road to Moscow, blocking it, and in the same way they continued to stand at the end of the battle, as they stood at the beginning of it. But even if the goal of the Russians were to knock down the French, they could not make this last effort, because all the Russian troops were defeated, there was not a single part of the troops that did not suffer in the battle, and the Russians, remaining in their places lost half of their troops.
The French, with the memory of all the previous fifteen years of victories, with confidence in the invincibility of Napoleon, with the consciousness that they had taken possession of part of the battlefield, that they had lost only one quarter of the people, and that they still had twenty thousand untouched guards, it was easy to make this effort. The French, who attacked the Russian army with the aim of knocking it out of position, had to make this effort, because as long as the Russians, just like before the battle, blocked the road to Moscow, the goal of the French was not achieved and all their efforts and losses were wasted. But the French made no such effort. Some historians say that Napoleon should have given his old guard intact in order for the battle to be won. To talk about what would happen if Napoleon gave his guards is like talking about what would happen if spring became autumn. It couldn't be. It was not Napoleon who did not give his guard, because he did not want to, but this could not be done. All the generals, officers, soldiers of the French army knew that this could not be done, because the fallen morale of the troops did not allow it.
Not only Napoleon experienced that dream-like feeling that the terrible swing of the arm falls powerlessly, but all the generals, all the soldiers of the French army participating and not participating, after all the experiences of previous battles (where, after ten times less effort, the enemy fled), experienced the same feeling of horror before that enemy, who, having lost half of his army, stood just as formidably at the end as at the beginning of the battle. The moral strength of the French attacking army was exhausted. Not that victory, which is determined by picked up pieces of matter on sticks, called banners, and by the space on which the troops stood and are standing - but a moral victory, one that convinces the enemy of the moral superiority of his enemy and of his impotence, was won by the Russians under Borodin. The French invasion, like an angry beast that received a mortal wound in its run, felt its death; but it could not stop, just as the weakest Russian army could not but deviate. After this push, the French army could still reach Moscow; but there, without new efforts on the part of the Russian army, it was to die, bleeding from a fatal wound inflicted at Borodino. A direct consequence of the battle of Borodino was the causeless flight of Napoleon from Moscow, the return along the old Smolensk road, the death of the five hundred thousandth invasion and the death Napoleonic France, on which for the first time near Borodin the hand of the strongest enemy was laid.

The time has come for another financier who dresses up in the toga of a patriot, although there is nowhere to put a stigma on his biography and modern connections. This is Valentin Katasonov.

In fact, the biography of Valentinin Yurievich speaks for itself.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, The World Bank, Central Bank of Russia....

For those who are a little off topic, what is the EBRD:

In connection with the beginning of economic transformations in the post-Soviet space in the 1990s. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established. Its goal is to promote market reforms in the countries of Central and of Eastern Europe. Its founders are all European countries (except Albania), the USA, Canada, Japan, other states (40 in total) and two international organizations(EU and European Investment Bank). Members of the EBRD can be not only European countries, but any other countries - members of the IMF.

Washington. IMF. All the same faces. And Valentin Yuryevich, who is very worried about the monetary policy of our state, worked for them for three years. Then five years of work at the World Bank, which, to put it bluntly, also has nowhere to put stigma:

The condition for membership in the World Bank is membership in the International Monetary Fund, that is, each member country of the IBRD must first become a member of the International Monetary Fund. Only those countries that are members of the IBRD can be members of other organizations that are members of the World Bank Group.

USA - 16.39%

Japan - 7.86%

Germany - 4.49%

France - 4.30%

UK - 4.30%

China - 2.78%

India - 2.78%

Italy - 2.78%

Canada - 2.78%

Russia - 2.78%

Saudi Arabia - 2,78 %

Netherlands - 2.21%

Brazil - 2.07%

Belgium - 1.81%

Spain - 1.75%

Switzerland - 1.66%

Australia - 1.53%

Iran - 1.48%

Venezuela - 1.27%

Mexico - 1.18%

Argentina - 1.12%

The remaining 164 countries - 29.90%

I think that the requirement for mandatory participation in the IMF in order to enter the capital of the WB, together with the distribution of countries' votes in the World Bank, speaks volumes more than a thousand words in whose interests this organization works.

And after such an "internship" Valentin Katasonov becomes an economic adviser to the Central Bank of Russia. To be honest, for me the title of this position is almost consonant with the "watcher". By the way, this position in central office The Central Bank of Russia has not yet been found. Curious nuance. Especially if we recall the fact that the Central Bank of Russia was one of those who participated in the deepening of the crisis of 2008-2009.

Of the other interesting nuances regarding Valentin Yuryevich, it would be interesting to note his opinion about Evgeny Fedorov and Nikolai Starikov, which he expressed in August 2014. And Katasonov’s attitude towards Putin is quite well traced in the statements of Valentin Yuryevich:

He famously walked through them, didn't he? But less than a year later, Valentin Yuryevich took a different position and speaks together with Evgeny Alekseevich:

What can I say: the integrity of a person can be seen immediately.

Well, for those who consider Valentin Katasonov an excellent economist and financier, I suggest listening to his accusations against the President that he almost gave direct instructions to speculators to attack the ruble (around the 4th minute):

Valentin Yurievich's forecast for the dollar in January-February 2015 "for a hundred rubles" - no comment.

And miraculously, Valentin Katasonov, like many of the current hyped different ways"patriots", surprisingly received his sight after he left important posts and since 2011

The first of the heroes of the collection is an American, the author of the sensational book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", who worked in different countries and promoted the interests of the "masters of money" - the main shareholders of the private corporation "US Fed". Susan Lindauer is also an American who worked as a liaison agent for the US CIA. She was actively involved in the events associated with the destruction of the World Trade Center skyscrapers, is familiar with the details of this story and confidently claims that the attack was an operation by American intelligence agencies. The third hero is our compatriot, Professor Valentin Katasonov, who is Russia's leading specialist in capitalism, the global financial system and the "masters of money", a regular contributor to Tsargrad, and a leading column "Finance according to Katasonov".

All of them, each in their own way, come to the same conclusions: the “masters of money” subjugate not only the economies, but also the life of most countries, and see themselves tomorrow as the absolute masters of the world. These are religious fanatics who want to become humanoid gods. In fact, these are humanoid demons, considering lies and murders as the main tools of their power and expansion. No wonder the heroes of the book call usurious capitalism the economy and religion of death. Acquaintance with the ideas of John Perkins, Susan Lindauer and Valentin Katasonov will inevitably make you take a fresh look at today's world, make you think. This is what the "owners of money" are most afraid of.

We publish an afterword to the book, written by Valentin Katasonov. He called it "Capitalism as a religion of death":

My friend and colleague Khalid Al-Roshd has already made a brief introduction to the participants in this collection, I will not go into the details of their extraordinary biographies. I can safely call both John Perkins and Susan Lindauer my like-minded people; I subscribe to every word they say in this book.

I have been dealing with the problems of modern (and not only modern) capitalism for a long time. The results of my research materialized in many books. The main one is “Capitalism. History and ideology of "monetary civilization". The facts and theses contained in the conversations of John Perkins and Susan Lindauer with Khalid perfectly illustrate and reinforce the conclusions of my books on capitalism.

Capitalism is a concrete-historical form of the so-called "Cainite" civilization. This civilization dates back to antediluvian times, and its bearers and successors are the spiritual descendants of the first killer in the history of mankind - Cain. In my writings, I offered readers different definitions of capitalism. John Perkins told me one more thing: capitalism is a society whose core is the "economy of death". The "economy of death" is run by the "masters of money".

"Masters of money" is not just a figurative expression; in my works, I include the main shareholders of the US Federal Reserve System as such. Once they were just usurers, and after bourgeois revolutions received a solid title of bankers. The main result of bourgeois revolutions is the complete legalization of usurious operations and the creation of a central bank - the true authority of usurers.

True, in the United States the process of creating such a central authority dragged on for a century and a half. The Federal Reserve was created only in last days 1913. But on the other hand, the shareholders of the US Federal Reserve immediately set to work energetically, provoking the first world war, the world economic crisis and the second world war. As a result, the production of the "printing press" of the FRS - the US dollar became the world currency.

The main shareholders of the Fed - the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Kuhns, the Loebs, the Morgans, the Schiffs and others - became not only the "masters of money", they also became the masters of America, the masters of the economy - first the American, and then the economy of most countries of the world. At the end of the last century, they stepped up the process of globalization (informational, cultural, financial, economic) in order to achieve their ultimate goal. What is she like? Become the masters of the world.

"Finance according to Katasonov". global economic crisis

John Perkins wrote of himself and others like him as "economic killers". But one should not think that such “killers” are only consultants who ensure the work of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB), the International Development Agency (IDA) and other international financial organizations serving the interests of money owners. The circle of "economic killers" is very wide, and many of them by no means recognize themselves as such. These are those who manage or cooperate with transnational corporations (TNCs) and transnational banks (TNBs) or even companies and commercial organizations that do not have obvious signs of transnational business. These are all those who put profit at the head of personal and corporate prosperity and achieve their goal at any cost.

99% of people become victims of this unbridled passion for the endless increase in profits and capital. They are killed - sometimes it is an instantaneous and obvious murder, but more often it is a slow and veiled one. The murder of a person is carried out in many ways: by unleashing large and small wars, by imposing genetically modified products on people, by creating mass unemployment and depriving people of their livelihood, by legalizing “cultural” drug use, by organizing terrorist acts (Susan Lindauer spoke in detail about the organization of terrorism using the example of events 11 September 2001), etc.

In addition to the direct physical destruction of people, these "economic killers" commit an equally terrible crime - they destroy a person morally and spiritually. In this sense modern capitalism even more terrible than the slave system that existed, say, in Ancient Rome. There, the slave owner owned only the body of the slave, it was physical slavery. And even more than that, the slave owner took care of the slave, since he (the slave) was the property of the slave owner.

Today we are dealing with capitalist slavery, the peculiarity of which is that the worker becomes a "disposable". On the market work force there is a surplus of labor, so it makes no sense for a capitalist employer to bother taking care of workers. Used one, then replaced it with another. Capitalists fanatically fight for the privatization of natural resources, enterprises, infrastructure, but the task of privatizing the human worker is not on the agenda. It is a resource subject to increasing depreciation. Moreover, it is redundant.

One of the recently deceased "masters of money" David Rockefeller concerned about the overpopulation of our planet. On his initiative, in the 60s of the last century, the Club of Rome was created, which took up the ideological justification for the task of reducing the world's population. In addition, David Rockefeller, as well as many other billionaires (including the current Bill Gates) invested (under the guise of "charity") a lot of money in biomedical research designed to reduce the birth rate of people and establish a "selection" of a person. This is very reminiscent of the eugenics of the Third Reich, which was formally condemned by the victorious countries after the Second World War.

The spiritual destruction of man is also evident. A person who believes in God is not needed by the capitalists, or "masters of the economy". A person who believes in God is an enemy of capitalism. For the "masters of the economy" Christ and Christianity are hated. How else? After all, the Savior warned: “No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate one and love the other; or he will be zealous for one, and neglect the other. You cannot serve God and mammon” (Mat. 6:24). The “masters of the economy” want everyone to serve Mammon without exception. Until recently, they were tolerant of those who tried to sit on two chairs and serve two masters. Today the masks have been dropped. The "masters" call believers, Christians "religious fanatics", "crazy", "mentally ill". Both John Perkins and Susan Lindauer talk about this. I write about this in my book “The Religion of Money. Spiritual and religious foundations of capitalism.

On the one hand, in the United States and other countries of the once Christian West, a real persecution of Christians and even those who can be called nominal Christians (who are trying to worship both God and mammon) has begun. Susan Lindauer is a prime example of this bullying.

On the other hand, such an education system is being built that would guarantee that a young person will enter adulthood as a being free from such “prejudices” as conscience, God, morality. In fact, the “masters of the economy” have organized a conveyor belt that creates a product that is called homo economicus in textbooks on economics. But behind this indistinct, crafty term, there is by no means a being that has the image and likeness of God (hence, by the way, the word “education” comes from). This is a creature that has the image and likeness of an animal or beast with three instincts-reflexes: pleasure, enrichment and fear. Such a beast is convenient and easy to manage.

As part of modern implementation programs digital technologies and the promoted ideology of transhumanism, there is an active formation of a new creature, which, of course, is not officially called a beast. He is given more indistinct and sly names: "biorobot", "cyborg", "digital man". This is an even more sophisticated murder. You can kill a perishable body, but the human soul, as you know, is immortal. The Savior said: “And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Mat. 10:28). The devil first of all aims at the human soul.

Susan Lindauer says that American intelligence agencies have been aggressively invading the privacy of American citizens since the end of the last century. And especially after the adoption by the US Congress at the beginning of this century, the Patriot Act. Apparently, Susan relies on her own experience and observations. In my opinion, true democracy in America began to disappear much earlier. By the way, he wrote about this in his diaries Woodrow Wilson who, as President of America, signed the ill-fated Federal Reserve Act. He repented of his act, realizing that by this act he had given America into slavery to modern moneylenders.

"Finance according to Katasonov". Washington against the European Union

Our emigrant, who lived in the USA, wrote about the same Grigory Klimov. He himself was involved after the Second World War in the so-called "Harvard Project" to remake the human mind; the project was overseen by the Central Intelligence Agency. He recalls this project on the pages of his books “Prince of this world”, “My name is legion”, “Red Kabbalah”, etc.

Of course, I could supplement and detail those facts and events of the last decades that were described by my colleagues and like-minded people John Perkins and Susan Lindauer. There is data about this contained in the works of other Western politicians, economists, writers and public figures. For example, in the articles and speeches of the now living American scientist and public figure, US presidential candidate and former political prisoner Lyndon LaRouche, who calls America a "fascist state".

In the same row - John Coleman, an American publicist, a former employee of the British intelligence services, the author of the sensational book The Committee of Three Hundred (in terms of the number of translations and circulations in the world, it is almost as good as John Perkins' book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man; it has been repeatedly published in Russian). In addition, the book Nicholas Hugger"Syndicate", which reveals the history of the creation of a secret world government and describes the methods of expansion of the "masters of money" in the world. All these (and many more not named by me) authors say that the main means of maintaining and strengthening their power by the "masters of money" are lies and murders.

I would especially like to mention such a public figure as Paul Craig Roberts. This is a well-known American economist, political and economic observer, former economic policy assistant to the US Secretary of the Treasury in the administration of Ronald Reagan. Published twelve books revealing the dastardly behind-the-scenes politics of Washington (it's a pity they haven't been translated into Russian yet).

Paul Roberts, like John Perkins, shows close ties between Wall Street banks, the Federal Reserve, the White House, the US military-industrial complex, and the intelligence community. Here is what Paul Roberts writes in one of his latest articles: “Washington is ruled by a shadow government and a “deep state” consisting of the CIA, the military-intelligence complex and financial interest groups. These groups advocate US global hegemony, both financial and military.”

This is a real ball of snakes, which, of course, sting each other in the struggle for power. But this does not prevent echidnas nesting in America from collectively pouncing on their victims around the world. John Perkins goes into detail (based on his practical experience the work of an “economic hit man”) about how Washington tried to bring countries such as Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, etc. to their knees.

In the first echelon are smiling and suave "economic killers" who negotiate with the leaders developing countries and impose on them loans and loans designed to become nooses around the neck national economies. The second echelon is followed by special services that are engaged in hard blackmail, sabotage and murder. Their services are needed if the first echelon has not coped with the task. And even if the “knights of the cloak and dagger” do not achieve their goal, then the third echelon comes into play - the military, who begin hostilities against the recalcitrant state. John Perkins has long ceased to be an "economic killer", but he closely follows Washington's global politics and believes that little has changed in the methods and algorithms of imperialist expansion since the last century.

Susan Lindauer shows that various countries of the Near and Middle East become the objects of attacks of these snakes. Millions of ordinary Americans are also under the gun. On September 11, 2001, a ritual sacrifice was made in the form of 4,000 human lives. And the soon-to-be-adopted Patriot Act turned America into a huge concentration camp. Susan Lindauer compares this American law with the Criminal Code adopted in the USSR in 1926. But, I dare say, that code operated within the framework of the Soviet state, and Washington considers the Patriot Act as an extraterritorial law, the effect of which, in its opinion, applies to the whole world.

After 9/11, according to my American colleagues, the United States finally became a terrorist state. Paul Roberts draws attention to the fact that the shadow masters of America have finally lost their minds. The tools of terrorism they use are not just al-Qaeda or ISIS. Today they threaten to use nuclear weapons North Korea. This is terrorism on the verge of self-destruction.

John Perkins and Susan Lindauer make only passing mention of Russia in their conversations. In his practical work they did not have to work directly with Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. But what we learn from the revelations of Perkins and Lindauer can be safely extrapolated to our country. I believe that after reading the interviews and works of these fighters against capitalism, the reader will have no doubts about what was hidden behind Gorbachev's "perestroika" and Yeltsin's "reforms".

It was the desire of the behind-the-scenes "masters of the economy" to destroy our sovereign state, seize its resources and turn it into a colony of the West. At the same time, reduce the number of "surplus" population, leaving only a few million to service the "pipe". It was a policy of “economic killers”, a policy of outright genocide covered by demagogic rhetoric, tested in different regions of the world.

The Russian political elite is pursuing an extremely inconsistent policy towards the West, especially Washington. She is blind and believes that it is possible to negotiate with the West. Like, today there are economic sanctions, and tomorrow everything will resolve itself. No, it won't dissolve. No one has yet been able to come to an agreement with the "economic killers". Paul Roberts writes about this: “Russia has been designated America's Enemy Number One. And there is absolutely nothing that Russian diplomacy, Russian measured retaliation and Russia's treatment of its enemy as a "partner" can do about it. Dear Russia, you must understand that you have already been appointed to the role of that very single and main Enemy.

Where does this misunderstanding come from? simple truths? In another article, Paul Roberts writes: “Russia is also at a disadvantage because its educated upper class, professors, and businessmen are Western-oriented. Professors want to be invited to conferences at Harvard University. Businessmen want to be integrated into the Western business community. These people are known as "Atlantic Integrationists". They believe that Russia's future depends on whether it is accepted by the West. And they are ready to sell Russia - if only to achieve that they will be accepted.

"Finance according to Katasonov". Counter-sanctions, "integration" into global economy and the course of the liberals

Alas, the aforementioned "upper class" of Russia is characterized by extreme ignorance. He, apparently, has already become a victim of "economic killers", and he is unlikely to be able to escape from their tenacious clutches. This dependence, first of all, is not economic or political. First of all, it is a spiritual addiction. Our elite made a choice: they began to worship mammon - a pagan idol, one of the gods of the infernal pantheon.

But for those who have not yet fallen into the millstones of a terrible machine called " economic Education", there is still a chance. A chance not only to avoid the tenacious clutches of "economic killers", but also a chance to hit those paws and firmly declare to the "economic killers": "Get your paws off Russia!". The books of such brave fighters against capitalism - the religion of death, as John Perkins, Susan Lindauer, Paul Roberts - are a ray of light in this dark kingdom of mammon. The works of these extraordinary in our century authors once again show that only Christianity is the religion of life, and there can be no other alternative in the world. The same John Perkins in his conversation says that the "economy of death" is opposed to the "economy of life". He does not reveal the concept of the second model of the economy, but it is obvious that we are talking about the economy of Christian civilization.

I would put the works of the brave people listed above, who open people's eyes to capitalism as an "economy of death", the epigraph is the words of the Savior, spoken by Him two thousand years ago to the Pharisees and scribes.

The report of the Ministry of Economic Development is a document of the colonial administration, says a well-known economist

“How much can we go on about these, excuse me, feeble-minded people? asks Valentin Katasonov, referring to the geniuses from the Ministry of Economy. - "Ene-bene-slave, quinter-finter-toad" - and we are trying to translate this into Russian. That's bullshit. This is Berlag's accountant, who ended up in a ward for the insane. Economic development is just a sign that masks the "Ministry of Economic Destruction and Economic Destruction."

"NOT GOVERNMENT BUT COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION"

The Ministry of Economic Development wrapped its report in optimistic oil. All this can be called an "oil painting", and the document is called "The Picture of the Economy". But what is fundamentally important? The ministry talks about how wonderful the cut-off price of $40 per barrel of oil under the budget rule is, while the Oreshkinites simultaneously argue that this cut-off price actually makes it impossible for exactly what the ministry should be doing - economic growth. How can such a document come out of the bowels of such a ministry, and what is a budget rule in general in the current conditions?

Here you can chew gum for hours, and I will explain very simply, as for schoolchildren elementary school. The price of black gold today is about 69-70 dollars. The cut-off price is 40. At least half of these forty is to cover the costs of extraction and transportation. It turns out that the Russian budget receives 20 dollars, and the American budget receives 30 dollars. That is, the budget rule is actually a definition of the proportion: what part of black gold exports serves the Russian budget and what part serves the American budget. It turns out that the American budget receives 1.5 times more than the Russian one. Here is the colonial model for you.

This simple truth is covered up by the leadership of the Ministry of Economic Development with pseudo-economic words: “Against the background of the rising price of oil, the current budget rule, according to the Ministry of Economy, will allow achieving a budget surplus of 1% of GDP already in 2018 (for the first time since 2011) and replenish the NWF by $50 billion. The current mechanism in the long run ensures low volatility of all key economic indicators - inflation, economic growth rates, wages". How much can we go on about these, excuse me, feeble-minded people? “Ene-bene-slave, quinter-finter-toad” - and we are trying to translate this into Russian. That's bullshit. This is Berlag's accountant, who ended up in a ward for the insane. When we discuss it in all seriousness, we start playing by their rules. It is correct to understand that "economic development" is just a sign. In fact, this is the Ministry of Economic Destruction, Economic Destruction. The government is not the government, but colonial administration. There is no economy, there is just a robbery.

You can, of course, say that the bandits on the highway are also involved in the economy, because they redistribute something. Well, let's call robbery the economy. Approximately the same thing happens when we discuss the so-called budget rule. In fact, this means that the bandits put a knife to the victim's throat and say - money or life, wallet or death! Here's money for the subway, leave a penny for a loaf of bread - please give the rest. 20 dollars goes to the budget of the Russian Federation, 30 "green" goes to the American budget - this is an illustration of how a man was walking along the road, and bandits came out to meet him. Accordingly, the Ministry of Economic Development is those pickers, those barkers who led the robbed person into a dark alley. That's all.

Back in the spring, Kudrin, seemingly an ultra-liberal liberal, complained that the budget rule was too rigid and wanted to make some concessions to us, the people of Russia. He talked about the $45 cut-off price. Apparently, at that time there was a very serious situation with the budget, it was necessary to somehow reduce the deficit. However, it doesn't matter - Oreshkin and Siluanov still said - no, there are 40 and there will be 40. It doesn't matter - 40 or 45. The main thing is that there is a robbery. And why are we going to discuss how much we left in the purse of the poor traveler - 30 kopecks or 35? When we discuss the topic in this way, I believe that we thereby lose. We slavishly, servilely agree with the predatory principle and discuss only how many kopecks will be left for us. I cannot agree with this, I am generally against the budget rule, this is my firm position.

“CONFIRMATION OF THE FINISHABILITY OF THE BUDGET RULE IS MAYBE NOT THE MOST EXPRESSIVE WHITE FLAG YET”

The message from the Ministry of Economic Development is on the eve of the document of the United States Department of the Treasury, which will concern Putin's closest oligarchic circle. Confirmation of the inviolability of the budget rule - maybe not the most expressive white flag yet, because they have been throwing this white flag for many years, the budget rule has existed for more than one year. Here we should rather talk about other white flags. I would remember the Ministry of Economic Development in connection with the "swine story" around the WTO and pork. Several State Duma deputies turned to the Committee on Economic Policy so that it would prepare a detailed request to the Ministry of Economic Development about this whole “swine story”. Regarding how effectively we promote and protect our interests through the courts. And also - what are the intermediate results of our stay in the WTO - it will soon be 5 years since we are in this cage. And the last point - how expedient is it to continue to stay in the WTO, and does the Ministry of Economic Development consider it necessary to withdraw from the organization? Oreshkintsy hurried. When such an initiative was taken by a group of deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, on the very same day they prepared a report on this topic. There are countless reports! And in this report there is such a phrase: "The competent authorities of the Russian Federation do not find it expedient even to discuss the issue of Russia's withdrawal from the WTO." There you are!

Indeed, there are no even estimates of how much we have lost or gained from WTO membership. From my point of view, of course, we lost, it can be seen with the naked eye. And in this case, the Ministry of Economic Development once again showed that it is the Ministry of Economic Destruction, which acts in the interests of our geopolitical adversary.

Time works against us because we lose even what was created by previous generations. And that, of course, is a crime. This crime is not only economic. The other day I was reading St. Nicholas of Serbia: something similar happened in Serbia. He said, “You are not just stealing from one person, you are stealing from millions of people. Therefore, this sin - the sin of embezzlement - is much more serious. But the budget rule is embezzlement! The beneficiary of this embezzlement may be our overseas "partner" or a specific official. “Moreover, since the budget is mainly created at the expense of taxes of people not of the richest, but of low-income or even poor people, you are stealing from the poor,” this is how Nikolai Serbsky said. And then keep in mind that how many generations shed blood, shed sweat to create all this wealth, this whole country. You steal from ancestors, you steal from generations, you bring the wrath of God upon yourself. This is a very serious thing, it is primarily a spiritual thing. Since some of our officials like to go to churches, I just think that it would be nice for them to read aloud the speech of Nikolai Serbsky, which he addressed to those embezzlers who stole in Serbia on the eve of World War II.

Those 2% economic growth that Oreshkin prophesies to us under the current budget rule and membership in the WTO - what is it from an economic point of view? Is this a statistical error or does it mean something?

First, of course, is statistical chemistry, as I say. There is no advantage there. Secondly, even if there would be a plus and not even 2%, but 10%, keep in mind that all these “plus 10” would be privatized either by our oligarchs or our overseas “partners”. Therefore, economic growth in conditions when the country is in a state of semi-colony is a complete absurdity. We do not need such economic growth at all, because the beneficiaries of this economic growth are everyone except the people.
