I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.
No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech
For clarification if anyone is not familiar with the term, here is what “Fifth column mean”:
For those asking:
The original clip on Rossiya24 had 2 minutes with last 10 seconds removed, so I used RBC channel to find the clip and to add these 10 seconds
Both links with both clips are here:
One more clarification - this is not about oligarchs, who are essentially Putin’s serfs and in many cases were his “wallets”. When he invokes fifth column, he is talking about political opposition and dissidents. He believes that anyone who opposes him does so for villas in Miami
Some people asked me about it in the comments.
The original speech was delivered today and in text format in Russian it is located here (official web site of the President):
Since people do not understand how awful and misleading @Mastercard and @Visa decisions are, I want to expose them and show that they are not helping the Putin’s regime, but inadvertently (I hope so) helping it. A thread (please spread): 0/11
First - a disclaimer. I have a bank account in Russia from when I worked there more than 14 years ago, but I’m not using it and it has about 300 dollars, I have bank accounts in other countries and they are all fine and working, so I am not directly affected by this measure.

Now let’s have a closer look on what both companies did (see screenshots with the excerpt from their statements, links to them in the last tweet): the companies now prohibit to use Visa & Mastercard issued in Russia abroad, and prohibit cards from abroad to be used in Russia 2/11
I had to see this thread by myself to believe it’s real. It is.
There are several important legal matters this thread raises: 1. Does CAIR has an authority to decide if embassy moving is legal or not per American law? If so, from which legal document this authority stems? 1/
2. According to your thread you believe mentioning “Islamism” aka “Islamic fundamentalism” - a political ideology that in some branched like Wahhabism or Qutbism calls for violence - is islamophobia. Is it your official position? Do you support Islamism officially? 2/
3. Smearing implies making up false claims. There is a video of @ZahraBilloo full speech. Does her video have anything to do with selfie of @JGreenblattADL? Do you think video proof is not sufficient? 4. “Israeli snipers were killing protesters & medics” - is a verifiable lie. 3/
Let’s clarify something. Kerry indeed leaked sensitive intelligence to Iran when he was not authorized to do it as he was not in the office anymore. This information was not in a public domain when Kerry revealed it. Let’s examine the sequence of events. A short thread: 👇🏼
Kerry met with Zarif around April 20, 2018 and held other “shadow diplomacy” meetings with senior Iranian officials. According to a recently leaked recording of Javad Zarif, it is when the information about 200 strikes was mentioned to him by Kerry.
On September 04, 2018, half a year later, when it became apparent that someone has already leaked it (not sure who did it was known to Israelis, but they may have learned it already), the information about 200 strikes was confirmed publicly by Yisrael Katz reuters.com/article/us-mid…
Check out the article below. It outlines few current issues Jews face, when #IHRA definition of antisemitism, the most profound one, is applied. Critics bring straw arguments like “it doesn’t allow to criticize Israel without being called antisemitic” which is simply not true. 1/
Jews are told they cannot define hate against them, because, you know, modern activists claim modern Jews do not have any empirical experience in surviving antisemitism, xenophobia, or racism since those are matters of the past and today Jews live privileged lives. Ridiculous? 2/
Yes, it is. The other reason why we cannot define the hate against us, because Israel is considered a huge obstacle to Jewish oppression. It simply doesn’t allow Jews to be oppressed as they used to be before in MENA, Europe, USSR, Africa & Asia. So Jews were reappointed to be 3/
A Soviet and Russian’s most famous satirist and performer of Jewish origin has died today in Moscow. Mikhail Zhvanetsky (86) was known in Russia for his sharp aphorisms and satire always directed at powerful ones.
21 notable aphorisms down below:
1. We are smarter than those we choose. 2. Human life is a moment, but how many troubles. 3. If you argue with an idiot, then he probably does the same. 4. Alcohol in small doses is harmless in any quantities. 5. The history of Russia is a struggle between ignorance and injustice
6. An optimist believes that we live in the best of all worlds. The pessimist is afraid that it is so. 7. You want everything at once, but you get nothing and gradually. 8. Wisdom does not always come with age. It happens that age comes alone. 9. Born to crawl - crawl everywhere.
Amazingly crazy developing story of how you will be attacked by a extreme pro-Palestinian activists if you step one millimeter away from their worldview. You can start it by yourself from this tweet, or I will share screenshots of how it went to get to this in a thread below. 1/
Basically, it shows why there is a fallacy in logic (namely, an argument to moderation) of those who say, that Israel and Jews can negotiate with organizations and/or people who support the BDS. It is practically impossible and let me explain you why. If one supports BDS, one 2/
basically calls Jewish right to exist in MENA in question, and there is no middle ground to it. You cannot negotiate with extremists on peace. You cannot meet them half way here: like part of Jews will be exterminated, part expelled or may stay as minority. It’s genocidal view 3/
