Regulars readers know full well that we are no friends of the mega-wealthy, sometimes referred to as the oligarchs. You will note that among western media the term “oligarchs” is applied exclusively to Russians, not the myriad of their plutocratic compeers around the rest of the world.
We are also old fashioned when to comes to the rule of law and due process. We know. Due process is so 19th century.
Welcome to the New Underworld Order!
First, they came for the super-yacht and villa owners, and I said nothing because I wasn’t Russian.
Then, they came for the vaccine hesitant, but I said nothing as I’d taken all five.
Then, they came for the little boys, but I said nothing because I had daughters.
Then, the sub-zeros came for you bitches, and there was no one left to speak.
The sanctions being applied on Russia from around the world — strike us as blatant star chamber justice. The individuals being targeted are described in the Lugenpresse by the subjective term “oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.” They are often government officials of various stripes. By this alarming, hypocritical, bipolar label, one would think Russia is the only country where the super wealthy have close ties to a national leader.

The existing western economic, social and legal system is entirely built on private property rights and the sanctity of contracts. In the America, of course, that is expanded upon via the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Under civil forfeiture, one must be involved in a crime. What crime have these wealthy sanctioned Russians committed? The crime of being a wealthy citizen in a country the U.S. doesn’t like? #virtuesignalling
Canada demonstrated that there is an intent to change the rules during the truck convoy protest. Trudeau invoked emergency powers to seize the bank accounts of truckers protesting pandemic related restrictions. At least in the U.S., a sizable percentage of the population already perceive that they will lose their job or be “cancelled” for holding dissenting opinions.
Now, the so-called Russian sanctions of individuals confirms that the sanctity of the contract and private property rights are being altered before our eyes.
Hard earned trust is part of the magic that enables developed market sovereigns to massively deficit spend with limited consequence. The world happily holds their liabilities. But that trust is weakened when sovereigns are seizing the assets of their own citizens and of other sovereigns without due process of law. The liabilities of the banking sector and sovereign then cease to be risk free assets. Foreign sovereigns must now diversify as a matter of national security, and some citizens must now diversify as a matter of self preservation.
Big question: What’s to prevent this sanctions racket from being applied willy nilly to anyone? Arbitrary and capricious retaliation has now extended to not honor the Mastercard, Visa and American Express cards of anyone in Russia using that country’s banks. This extends to the babushkas (grannies).
Once again, the lost revenues will turn up in due course in the underlying company earnings reports. As a consequence, Russia is rapidly setting up a parallel ecosystem and economy.

Over the weekend, Italy, under the pretense of E.U. sactions, seized a $70 million yacht belonging to one of Russia’s richest men, billionaire Alexey Alexandrovits Mordaschov. Then, more seizures: villas in Sardinia and Lake Como allegedly belong to Russian billionaire businessman and president of the International Fencing Federation Alisher Usmanov and a popular Russian TV host named Vladimir Soloviev.

Another yacht — allegedly belonging to Gennady Timchenko, the Volga Group founder — has also reportedly been seized. His boat, “The Lena,” is worth some €50 million euros.
There is zero indication that these oligarchs were tipped off ahead of time. Their properties were at sea worldwide and particularly vulnerable in the Mediterranean Sea. So much for being a “friend of Putin.”
You can follow these thefts at the Twitter account below. This one just in.

Winter Watch Takeaway
Setting a very dangerous precedent here! The illusion of the west as being a safe haven for wealth just evaporated. Chinese billionaires and others must be liquidating western assets at an alarming rate right now.
One of my favorite sayings is “don’t fuck with a fucker.” It’s hard for me to believe that the Russians will just let all this slide. Unfortunately, when they retaliate, it will impact American grandmothers rather than the kleptocracy.
Italy gets 46% of its natural gas from Russia. Next winter may be cold for Italians.
People had better wake up to threat of a “cashless” society and overrealiance on institutions and start doing something.
What can they do?
-
Take as much cash out of your bank account as possible.
-
Use cash as much as possible instead of credit/debit.
-
Move your remaining money from the too-big-to-fail banks to smaller community banks.
Great article. Thank you.
What you have written is indeed a prescient point and illustrates a growing trend in western governments. But Ihave a hard time being sympathetic to the Russian oligarchs. They are the puppet masters of Putin.
Why do we even have private property? Where do rights come from? Both these can be answered by they exist for the good.
Let’s not kid ourselves these oligarchs made their bones by using the Russian state to loot its people. They are all communists through and through. Now they are using the Russian state to invade another sovereign country. They should be held accountable for their actions, temporary docking their yachts (as if their yachts aren’t insured anyways) is a small first step.
Good, but you should do the same with the Western oligarchs who attacked Yugoslavia, carved out Kosovo, attacked Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, did a coup in Ukraine in 2014 – all illegally. Otherwise you are but a virtue signalling hypocrite. Do Climton, W, and Obama have yachts?
This war is accomplishing much of the globalist agenda, including increasing more demonisation of all nationalism and LGBT scepticism as ‘turning you into someone like Putin / Hitler’ … Putin in fact using the same pretext as when Hitler rolled into Prague in March 1939, ‘this neighbour country might be used as a base against us’
Even an Israeli political cartoonist, Elad Shmueli, sees the Ukraine-Russia war as the 2nd stage of the Klaus Schwab Great Reset agenda after Covid-19, leading to the 3rd stage, economic crisis, before the final catastrophe:
https://i.ibb.co/kxwHjcz/Great-Reset-on-track.jpg
Putin and Zelensky both were Klaus Schwab ‘world leader’ partners, as well as linked via Chabad rabbis … Schwab is denouncing Putin at the moment, but could that just be a cover feint, to hide how this whole war is orchestrated by globalists?
Talk now of ’10 million refugees out of Ukraine’ … including, it seems, many of those Africans and Muslims who were blocked at the Belarus-Poland border a few weeks ago, a bus ride into Ukraine letting them enter Poland and the EU freely now because they are re-labelled as ‘Ukrainian refugees’
Another theme that goes back to 2014 is the idea that the Askhenazic Jews who are significantly descended from the early mediaeval Khazarians who converted to Judaism, but who then were kicked out of the Ukraine-Kazakhstan region by the early Rus … maybe now they are trying to depopulate the region to make it a second revived Jewish homeland, with Putin & Zelensky teams as their agents … also note all the Masonic symbolism now in Kazakh capital Astana
Just as there are different looking ‘Joe Bidens’ in photos there seem to be several different looking Putins … even covered by the UK’s ‘Daily Mail’, how ‘Putin’s face changed dramatically’
It’s not accomplishing the globalist agenda. The Globalists are striking out against their enemies. They are using the same tactics against Russia they used to attack Germany.
Some people just cannot let go of a lifetime of conditioning, even when facts speak against their narratives.

Ron’s been wrong before….
I consider Putim and Russia as well as China and North Korea the controlled opposition of the West, as all these countries are in the end led by masons amd are thus implementing the globalist agenda via a false dialectic. Putin symbolizes a leader that seems to care for his nation and its interests and for upholding the last remnants of proper morality like being anti LGBTQ and drugs. Thus he is demonized as a psyop for the zombies to hate morality and national interest. What Putim has done, the Western jypocrites have done 100x over.
We’ve had a three tiered attack on the world population to soften them up for the DAVOS reset: Trump ‘fascism’ hysteria, then a global pandemic (currently on backburner) and now a media world war amplification of the western diplomatic disaster between NATO, Russia & Ukraine.
This third attack by the offshore empire is particularly pernicious: energy and food prices worldwide greatly increased along with shortages to further undermine a population already exhausted by pandemic fears (real or imagined) and autocratic restrictions on personal freedoms.
Usmanov was a huge early funder of Facebook (now Meta)

The offshore empire, whether ‘Russian’, ‘American’ or other are a separate entity run through the city of London/Cayman Islands etc and manipulating the world for their cabal’s benefit and control.
Whether Gates, Usmanov or Bin Salman these people are on track to break the will of the world to break the old order and impose their will on the future.
‘Under the relentless thrust of accelerating over-population and increasing over-organization, and by means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial—but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.’

“highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators”
Who are these people exactly? Are they hiding in the sewers with Hillary Clinton and Q? In 20 years of law enforcement I’ve never met anyone who fits that description. I know some cops and soldiers who are pretty shady possibly even criminals but “elite” or “mind-manipulators”? Not even close. The problem with much of this new world order nonsense is enforcement. Who will enforce all of this?
Tavistock institute, CIA, WEF, CFR, Trilateral commission, Club of Rome, Atlantic Bridge, Bilderberg Group, Operation Mockingbird etc. Brainwashing and secret societies require no brute force enforcement. And police are armed as military and act like goons. So I do not even see issues with enforcement.

Whipping UP A BLIZZARD of LIES to FOMENT WARS and KILL tens of thousands (upon millions) of people to PROFIT FROM WAR LOANS and war industries – the same “old” formula from the 19th and bloody, industrialized mass-murder 20th century STILL WORKS JUST “fine” in this new, “end of cold war” and “PEACE DIVIDEND” era… thanks to the TREASONOUS JEW FINANCIERS and their ARMIES of AL QAEDA FUNDING hired TRAITORS in the U.S., British, French, Nato, and JEW STATE (Israel) governments.

4 years of Trump Russia collusion and obstruction which was made up by the news media was then followed by 24+ months of common cold 19 fear porn, and now a made for TV war with villain and sympathy victims. When will people get a clue that most of the daily narrative is a lie you are supposed to latch onto.
After WWI Germany was humiliated and ruled by the Weimar government where fraud and depravity ruled the day setting the stage for a character named Hitler who was embraced by the German people as a restorer of national pride. Now the globalists are isolating and humiliating Russia and Putin setting the stage for some kind of violent retaliation.
Excellent article!!
Whilst you’ve been distracted by Russia-Ukraine, the UK Government quietly published data confirming the Triple Vaccinated are just weeks away from developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
All triple vaccinated adults will have lost 100% of their entire immune capability (for viruses and certain cancers) within 5 months, but 18 to 39-year-olds will have lost it by the middle of April 2022, followed by 40-49-year-olds who will have lost it by the middle of May. These people will then effectively have full blown acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
