Radio Liberty ends Russia broadcasts as Putin stifles Democracy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




Radio Liberty ends Russia broadcasts
:  As of November10, licenses held by companies who
are at least 48 percent foreign-owned is forbidden. Liberty, known locally as
Radio Svoboda, receives funding from US Congress and was set up to cater for
countries where there are restrictions on information. “The aim is to inform people, because there’s no
free access to information, there’s no freedom of speech. Everything is
controlled by the Kremlin.

Radio Liberty will now concentrate on digital platforms, causing job losses
for more than 40 people and, according to some, muffling criticism of Russian
President Vladimir Putin.

 
Analysis: Political Winter Descends on Russia  Putin seems to be
taking a big political step back to the Soviet Union. For now, these
conservative new laws seem to be having a chilling effect.
  Lipman and others say the goal is to return Russia to the
apolitical days during the boom years of the 2000s.

During this decade,
Russians largely traded their political freedoms for the freedom to travel, to
buy, and to make more money.
Oleg Kashin, a radio analyst for the Russian daily
Kommersant, says get used to it. President Putin, he says, is taking
Russia down the road of neighboring Belarus, a nation run for 18 years by
Alexander Lukashenko, often called “the last dictator of
Europe.”

I
told you, be very concerned. Remember when he was rallying and uniting the world
to take on Bush and his drive to dominate the world? Absolutely as the world’s
mayhem ensues amidst its drive to dominate as we move through the 21st century
is Putin’s only agenda. It is an old thought.
 I remember when term limits made him have to leave last time.
There was immediate speculation as to him taking back the Presidency after his
term as PM. Well beware ,it is time and he will not be
denied.
  From Russia: Of course Putin does not
care but there was a sobering shock for Putin’s party who has been intimidating
and gaming the system for years in his effort to get his fascist hands on Russia
again. This is proof positive of Russians’ increasing suspicions of Putin’s
authoritarianism, ingrained corruption and falling living standards. Putin is
not to be trusted and Russians have felt his grubby little hands around their
necks for 12 years as he intimidates and tries to control Russia’s future for
his party.

Be scared be very scared! The USSR’s Mikhail Gorbachev
has warned that Russia risks six lost years when Vladimir Putin returns to the
presidency, echoing rumblings of dissent over his Kremlin comeback. I always
find myself agreeing with Gorbachev but that is putting it mildly. This is bad
news for the US and the world!

This is very
concerning. 

I remember back in 2008 when Putin was going to try and
be President for life. He was not alone. Leaders aligned with Russia were all
trying to get permanent leadership so they could be at the helm of their
prospective countries to take on then President Bush when his war mongering hit
the point where Russia, the 135 non aligned Nations, Iran, and others were
prepared to join forces and take him and our allies
on.

I remember when Bush first met Putin and he said he
shook his hand and looked him in the eye and saw a man of compassion, a man who
was true to his word, and a man he could work with. I shuttered at Bush’s
stupidity. I looked at Putin and saw a man deceitful to the core who was not to
be trusted period.

We were too pompous then and were pushing the world
towards WW3 with our take it or leave it, my way or the highway, interference
around the world. Putin was determined to head us off, to directly confront us
when we were on Russia’s front door trying to instigate war by installing the so
called missile shield in Czechoslovakia and Poland, and return Russia to the
role of a world leader.

Personally we blew it when Russia broke up and the
Berlin wall came down. We were the world leader and had the perfect opportunity
to be humble, show we were the leader, and bring the world together to proceed
successfully through the 21st century.We egged on the likes of Vladimir Putin
who understandably chaffed under our we are the boss do what we say take it or
leave it, it your face tactics of Bush and
Cheney.

I had great hope when we elected President Obama who
set the reset button with Russia and Russia who had elected Dmitri Medvedev who
agreed to work with the US to proceed through the 21st century as partners
instead of heading towards WW3 as adversaries. In Medvedev we see in his eyes
and actions a man we can and do work with.

With the return of Putin to the Russian Presidency I am
again very concerned and see an end to a partner country whose leaders words and
actions we can trust and a return to a confrontational relationship with Russia.
I do not like the man, I do not trust the man, and I am very concerned as to
which direction Russia and the United States are headed now and at a time when
China is surging militarily.

We must maintain a balance as we try to move
progressively and successfully through the 21st century! Being in a superior
position puts one in a unique position of power and that power must be handled
gracefully, with humility, responsibly, and not abused. That is something I
taught all my sons and America under Bush did a lousy job of
handling.

We need Russia on our side. I am a little worried that
China too is getting a little too heavy handed and abusive with her new position
of power and beginning to take what she wants instead of being content with what
she has which is what I constantly lecture has to be the case if we are to have
a future. 


The time when man and the planet could handle war is
over, period or else! Be very concerned for our future! Not just Russia but the
world is headed to a very violent future and hopefully not a very violent
end.
