Apparently Putin may have autism, regarding some new studies made on him.

Apparently Putin may have autism, regarding some new studies made on him.

March 2000: I arrived in St.Petersburg. A Russian friend (a psychologist) since 1983 came for our usual visit.  My first question was, "Lena what do you think about your new president?"  She laughed and retorted, "Volodya!  I went to school with him!"  She began to describe Putin as a quiet youngster, poor, fond of martial arts, who stood up for kids being bullied on the playgrounds. She remembered him as a patriotic youth who applied for the KGB prematurely after graduating secondary school (they sent him away and told him to get an education).  He went to law school, later reapplied and was accepted.  I must have grimaced at this, because Lena said,  "Sharon in those days we all admired the KGB and believed that those who worked there were patriots and were keeping the country safe. We thought it was natural for Volodya to choose this career.  My next question was,  "What do you think he will do with Yeltsin's criminals in the Kremlin?"   Putting on her psychologist hat,  she pondered and replied,  "If left to his normal behaviors, he will watch them for a while to be sure what is going on, then he will throw up some flares to let them know that he is watching. If they don't respond, he will address them personally, then if the behaviors don't change–– some will be in prison in a couple of  years."  I congratulated her via email when her predictions began to show up in real time.  

So why do our leaders and media demean and demonize Putin and Russia???  

Like Lady MacBeth, do they protest too much?  

Psychologists tell us that people (and countries?)  project off on others what they don't want to face in themselves.  Others carry our "shadow"when we refuse to own it.  We confer on others the very traits that we are horrified to acknowledge in ourselves.

Could this be why we constantly find fault with Putin and Russia?
Could it be that we project on to Putin the sins of ourselves and our leaders?
Could it be that we condemn Russia's corruption, acting like the corruption within our corporate world doesn't exist?
Could it be that we condemn their human rights and LGBT issues, not facing the fact that we haven't solved our own?
Could it be that we accuse Russia of "reconstituting the USSR"––because of what we do to remain the world's  "hegemon"?
Could it be that we project nationalist behaviors on Russia, because that is what we have become and we don't want to face it?
Could it be that we project warmongering off on Russia, because of what we have done over the past several administrations?

Pick your poison between the countries
Both are still corrupt just in different ways from the other although it applies to a lot of places.

I think both sides are ruled by oligarchs lol. Maybe it's one side pushing for war now but it's the same kind of people ruling everywhere.

I've stood by silently watching the demonization of Putin grow since it began in the early 2000s –– I pondered on computer my thoughts and concerns, hoping eventually to include them in a book (which was published in 2011). The book explains my observations more thoroughly than this article. Like others who have had direct experience with this little known man, I've tried to no avail to avoid being labeled a "Putin apologist".  If one is even neutral about him, they are considered "soft on Putin" by pundits, news hounds and average citizens who get their news from CNN, Fox and MSNBC.

I don't pretend to be an expert, just a program developer in the USSR and Russia for the past 30 years.  But during this time, I've have had far more direct, on-ground contact with Russians of all stripes across 11 time zones than any of the Western reporters or for that matter any of Washington's officials.

...

Four months later Putin called a meeting with the oligarchs and gave them his deal:  They could keep their  illegally-gained wealth-producing Soviet enterprises and they would not be nationalized ….  IF taxes were paid on their revenues and if they personally stayed out of politics. This was the first of Putin's "elegant solutions" to the near impossible challenges facing the new Russia.  But the deal also put Putin in crosshairs with US media and officials who then began to champion the oligarchs, particularly Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The latter became highly political, didn't pay taxes, and prior to being apprehended and jailed was in the process of selling a major portion of Russia's largest private oil company, Yukos Oil, to Exxon Mobil. Unfortunately, to U.S. media and governing structures, Khodorkovsky became a martyr (and remains so up to today).

I believe the US elites have never forgiven Putin for nixing at the last minute the Yukos deal. Putting Russian interests above those of US imperial interests was and remains unforgivable. The US will now try to lure him into a military conflict over Ukraine.

Explain me, please, what is on this picture?

The Russian march has been going on for many decades now, and it is not possible to ban it. Most of the people who participate in that are activists of the Orthodox church, and only a minority are neo-Nazis. That said, for the past several years, the Russian March has been very peaceful, with no reports of attacks against racial minorities.

If only the Russian government did as much to reduce their numbers as it does to reduce the numbers of gay people

It is true that Russia is home to tens of thousands of neo-Nazis. But this problem is prevailing there since the breakup of the USSR, which occurred in 1991. But the government is doing all that it can, to reduce these numbers.

Is this video visible for US customers of Youtube?

Sorry to disappoint you, but in Russia "there are now an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 neo-Nazis, half of the world's total."

Oh, still, no idea, who are this guys with ethnic hate slogans?

Note that the only obvious neo-Nazi on this forum, 247crypto, is Russian.

As for the war in eastern Ukraine, it is quite possible that there are some far-right
extremists in the russian side, BUT they are much less compared to the far-rights of Ukraine.

I especially like the quote of JFK and the subsequent passage:

...

The Founding Fathers and JFK are among the few American leaders that command respect.

...

Like JFK, you have a military background, so you are bound by a sense of duty to protect and serve the people of Russia. It appears that like him you recognized the madness of nuclear war and have turned towards peace.

1. "Ethnic Cleansing" - forcibly removing a specific ethnicity from a country.

2. Such as Russia removing Tatars from Crimea,

3. or massacring Georgians in Abkhazia (or, rather, by "volunteers" from Russia).

I still waiting on Your definition of 'Ethnic Cleansing".

or what they have to do with Ukrainian government and Ukrainian army

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rulDWLqyL-Q - who are this guys?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NO_shnuiVU  - from what military handbook they spell those ethnic hate slogans?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT0dENOmrGE - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

You will more or that is enough?

Translate some "Чeмoдaн. Boкзaл. Poccия." in English, please.

I don't know how. Is it in the Ukrainian law, the Ukrainian military handbook, or stated by Poroshenko? If not, why are you bringing it up?

Yes, that is published in United Kingdom, and if is there something wrong, and You claim it, You becomes rich.

Oh, i see You have troubles in definition of "Ethnic cleansing", "pushing out from land" and "killing civilians for ethnic reason".

How it in English this Maidan slogan "Mocкaлiв нa нoжи!"? "Kill all who is with Russian origin!" or You give more exotic translation?

Sure, important.
Ukrainian military declared, hat their mission is pushing out Russians  civilians (citizens of Ukraine) or kill them.
What more You will?

I don't know who. Is it someone important?

Show me where that is in Ukrainian law, or show me where Poroshenko said that.

Listen one more time, who tell it to journalist.

Ethnic cleansing.

I ead that. Didn't see anything interesting or worthwhile. So have no idea what you are referring to.

for us Ukrainians the only question is how to remove them from our territory without allowing them to take chunks of it with them

We cannot live together with them after this war; they will either be killed or pushed out.

Ethnic cleansing is against Russians, that are citizens of Ukraine, Yes.
Listen HERE, please.

Are they now fighting in Russia, on Russian territory, against Russians?

What is on this picture?

This picure is a fake.

(Alexey Milchakov, a Russian mercenary and self avowed nazi fascist)

LOL.
DPNI and RNE are banned for more that 10 and 5 Years ago or more, why You post not a Data and place on the pictures?

What connection they have with Donbass?

(I'll give you a hint, the first one on the top left is of Russian neo-nazis within the Russian forces in Ukraine)

By the way, I suggest you don't try to bring Neo Nazi problems into this debate, because if you think Ukraine has issues with them, OMG do I have news for you about Russia!

reason for invading Poland

Dear President Hitler and German People,

Please accept our apologies for the behavior of our Governments and Media. Western Nations, led by Britain, seem determined to start a war with Germany. A sane person would recognize the terrible consequences of such a war and would do everything in their power to avoid it. In fact it appears that this is exactly what you are doing. In the face of an endless stream of lies and provocations you have managed to keep Germany from being drawn into a second Great War. 1

Events surrounding the war in Poland are twisted to represent you as an aggressor when the facts clearly show otherwise. Jewish and Polish gangs in the Danzig and the Polish Corridor commit atrocities against the citizens of Germany on a daily basis and they receive political and financial support from Western governments. "Germans in Poland are persecuted with a bloody terror and are driven from their home." 2 Germany was blamed for the attack on the Jablunkov Pass and Mosty railway station in Silesia, even though the evidence suggests that it was just an incident "caused by an insane individual". 3 You offer humanitarian aid to the people of Danzig and you are accused of smuggling weapons into Poland.

Why are you the target of these lies and provocations? The pathological criminals of the West are pushing for war with Germany because they need an external enemy. As long as the people are focused on “Nazi aggression” they remain unaware of those truly responsible for the decline of the British economy and social system. In Europe, with its history of brutal wars sparked by arrogance and greed, European leaders have undergone a complete moral collapse and have naively fallen into line behind the British policy of imperial aggression. The last great Premiere of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, and his soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, described our common enemy in 1939 when he signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (Nazi–Soviet Pact), finding common ground in the anti-capitalism of both countries. 4

Since that time the governments of Britain and France and other Western nations have been infiltrated by this “ruthless conspiracy”. While it is not necessarily unified we believe that its leaders think and act without the burden of a normal human conscience. This is why they are willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands or millions of people. They supply Jews with weapons that are used for the wholesale slaughter of thousands of Germans. They militarize police in places like Danzig to protect and strengthen their power over the people. They lie to start wars that take the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to increase their political power. They are despicable.

Like Joseph Stalin, you have a military background, so you are bound by a sense of duty to protect and serve the people of Germany. It appears that like him you recognized the madness of the Great War and have turned towards peace. (1 again) You refuse to endorse the British empire and you are working to undermine its power without engaging in direct military conflict. Instead Germany has developed closer relationships with many countries through organizations like Soviet Union and Italy, has continued to fulfill old debts and worked with its partners to meet goals that serve the interests of the people. The idea of international partnerships has been called a multipolar approach and it contrasts sharply with the unipolar, imperialist policies of the British where all countries’ resources are controlled to benefit a powerful few–and at the expense of the Nationalist Socialist proletariat.


We reject the greed, hatred and lust for power displayed by our “leaders”. We are outraged and horrified by the killing of thousands of innocent people in the name of capitalism and greed. We want peace and justice for all people. We want a real and lasting peace, the kind of peace that Joseph Stalin once spoke of:
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference,' you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes. 5


True peace and justice are impossible as long as the “zionist conspiracy” rules Britain, France, Poland and other nations from the shadows. We pray that through our mutual efforts we may defeat the power-hungry and ruthless criminals who seek to enslave us all. We pray that we may instead foster a Third Reich that instills genuine peace on Earth for a thousand years.

 Dear President Putin and Russian People,

Please accept our apologies for the behavior of our Governments and Media. Western Nations, led by the United States, seem determined to start a war with Russia. A sane person would recognize the terrible consequences of such a war and would do everything in their power to avoid it. In fact it appears that this is exactly what you are doing. In the face of an endless stream of lies and provocations you have managed to keep Russia from being drawn into a nuclear war.1, 2

Events surrounding the war in Ukraine are twisted to represent you as an aggressor when the facts clearly show otherwise. Neo-Nazi gangs commit atrocities against the citizens of Novorussia on a daily basis and they receive political and financial support from Western governments. The Ukrainian army has attacked Russian checkpoints and towns and regularly bombs refugees attempting to flee the country. Russia was blamed for the destruction of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, even though the evidence suggests that the flight was shot down by the Ukrainian army. You offer humanitarian aid to the people of Luhansk and you are accused of smuggling weapons into Ukraine.3

Why are you the target of these lies and provocations? The pathological criminals of the West are pushing for war with Russia because they need an external enemy. As long as the people are focused on “Russian aggression” they remain unaware of those truly responsible for the decline of the American economy and social system. In Europe, with its history of brutal wars sparked by arrogance and greed, European leaders have undergone a complete moral collapse and have naively fallen into line behind the USA’s policy of imperial aggression. The last great president of the United States, John F Kennedy, described our common enemy in 1961:

We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations… Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.4

Since that time the government of the United States and other Western nations have been infiltrated by this “ruthless conspiracy”. While it is not necessarily unified we believe that its leaders think and act without the burden of a normal human conscience. This is why they are willing to sacrifice the lives of millions or billions of people. They supply Israel with weapons that are used for the wholesale slaughter of thousands of Palestinians. They militarize police in places like Ferguson, MO to protect and strengthen their power over the people. They lie to start wars that take the lives of millions of people to increase their political power. They are despicable.5, 6

Like JFK, you have a military background, so you are bound by a sense of duty to protect and serve the people of Russia. It appears that like him you recognized the madness of nuclear war and have turned towards peace.7 You refuse to endorse the American empire and you are working to undermine its power without engaging in direct military conflict. Instead Russia has developed closer relationships with many countries through organizations like BRICS, has forgiven old debts and worked with its partners to meet goals that serve the interests of the people. The idea of international partnerships has been called a multipolar approach and it contrasts sharply with the unipolar, imperialist policies of the US where all countries’ resources are controlled to benefit a powerful few–and at the expense of We the People.


We reject the greed, hatred and lust for power displayed by our “leaders”. We are outraged and horrified by the killing of millions of innocent people in the name of freedom and self defense. We want peace and justice for all people. We want a real and lasting peace, the kind of peace that JFK once spoke of:
What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children–not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women–not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.8


True peace and justice are impossible as long as the “ruthless conspiracy” rules the United States and other nations from the shadows. We pray that through our mutual efforts we may defeat the power-hungry and ruthless criminals who seek to enslave us all. We pray that we may instead foster a genuine peace that makes life on Earth worth living.
Sincerely,
