Note to reader: I have some sobering news for the naive truthers, members of the Russian Orthodox Church, and admirers of Vladimir Putin; the Bank of Russia is a private entity and Russia is as controlled as any Western nation.
The following Moscow Times article below discusses how the head of the Russian Central Bank is an important ally of Putin and vital technocrat of the Russian government.
Obviously, knowing what we know, she’s not a member of the Russian government, but rather a personal representative of the Rothschild banking cartel. Putin was hand selected to run Russia and not talk back to the central bank.
Vladimir Lenin made that mistake and tried to eliminate the privately run Soviet Gosbank, and we know what happened to Vladimir Lenin.
In February 1922, Vladimir Lenin derided the State Bank as “a bureaucratic paper game”, comparing it to a Potemkin village in a letter to the bank’s head Aron Sheinman whom he accused of “Communist-mandarin childishness”.
Soviet Gosbank – Wikipedia
Vladimir Lenin was only 53 years old when he died. Though the official cause of death was attributed to complications from three strokes, it’s clearly evident that he was poisoned only two years after he accused the Soviet Gosbank of impropriety.
But the cause of the seizures he suffered hours before his death is much less complicated: may have been poisoned by his rival, Joseph Stalin. Lenin had apparently begun planning a political attack on Stalin — and Stalin knew it. Lurie says that Stalin sent a top-secret note to the Politburo in 1923 claiming that Lenin himself asked to be put out of his misery, but later said he couldn’t go through with it — apparently both lies.
New Research Suggests Lenin’s Premature Death May Have Been Aided By A Little Bit Of Poison
We may chalk up Lenin’s death to political infighting, but Josef Stalin was an eager lackey and supporter of the Soviet Gosbank.
The Bank of Russia is owned by the same private banking families as those who owned the Soviet Gosbank and Vladimir Putin is shrewd enough to never make the same mistake Lenin made. Putin will never talk back to his owners and to the shadowy individuals who made his rise to power possible.
While this Moscow Times article discusses some of the criticisms levied against Bank policy, no one dares to mention that the bank should be done away with altogether. These articles only serve as controlled opposition to a pernicious cancer that is slowly strangling every nation state around the world, especially Russia.

Nabiullina vs. Stagflation: Can Putin’s Top Technocrat Save the Russian Economy Once Again?
– The Moscow Times, November 22, 2024
The Central Bank head has long been seen as Putin’s most capable technocrat and a guarantor of economic stability. But amid stubborn inflation, she has come under scrutiny from businesses and Kremlin allies
Elvira Nabiullina, the head of Russia’s Central Bank, has long been the epitome of the technocratic facade of Vladimir Putin’s rule.
In her post since 2013, she has been credited with ensuring economic stability and as being the chief architect of Moscow’s response to Western sanctions.
But as Russia’s war economy faces the challenge of runaway inflation, politicians and businesses are struggling to agree on the right course to meet the growing challenges of higher living costs and business hurdles.
How big is Russia’s inflation problem?
Russia’s inflation is expected to reach 8-8.5% this year, official projections show, up one percentage point from 2023 and 200%, or more, of the Central Bank’s target rate of 4%.
Other estimates suggest inflation may be even higher, with research company ROMIR showing a 22.1% year-on-year inflation rate in September, while official data showed a 9.67% increase.
The ROMIR index is based on a broad basket of consumer goods (FMCG), mostly consisting of food and household chemicals.
High inflation is a key indicator that the Russian economy is overheating, analysts say
Simply put, there is more money, including credit, available for people and businesses to spend, and there are fewer available goods and services to meet that demand.
Demand for goods and services is fueled by Russian government spending to boost war production and help businesses make up for the exodus of Western companies.

Nabiullina vs. Stagflation: Can Putin’s Top Technocrat Save the Russian Economy Once Again?
I find it so peculiar that the mainstream press is giving Trump a pass this time around versus his first term. It really is a relief.
I expected his second term in office to be just as treacherous, but the entire MSM seems to be extending an olive branch to Trump this time. It’s as if the synagogue told his enemies to stand down.
It’s quite interesting.
Definitely a stand down going on. They have even more evidence now of Trump’s direct involvement with Epstein’s sex trafficking yet they are leaving him untouched.

Rent prices in Ukraine’s cities reveal wartime challenges
LUN and Work.ua have launched a joint analytical project aimed at evaluating the cost of living for Ukrainians by comparing average salaries to median rent prices. The data, calculated for each regional center, is presented in an interactive chart accessible nationwide.
For instance, in Kyiv, the average cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment amounts to 68% of the city’s average salary. In Uzhhorod, it’s 87%, while in Lviv, it’s 80%. The lowest percentage is seen in Kharkiv, where rent makes up just 21% of the average salary.
Under normal circumstances, the lower the percentage of income spent on rent, the higher the standard of living in a given city. However, the war has shifted the dynamics. In Kharkiv, rent prices have remained low since February 2022 due to constant shelling and safety concerns, which doesn’t necessarily reflect overall prosperity but explains why some residents remain in unsafe areas.
On the flip side, Uzhhorod, located far from active combat zones, has seen a surge in rental demand, causing unusually high rental costs. For Uzhhorod, 87% of an average salary spent on rent is critically high, highlighting a disparity between rental prices and affordability.

Trump meets with NATO head in Florida for talks on global security
CBS News
President-elect Donald Trump and the head of NATO have met for talks on global security, the military alliance said Saturday.
In a brief statement, NATO said Trump and its secretary general, Mark Rutte, met on Friday in Palm Beach, Florida.
“They discussed the range of global security issues facing the Alliance,” the statement said without giving details.
It appeared to be Rutte’s first meeting with Trump since his Nov. 5 election. Rutte had previously congratulated Trump and said “his leadership will again be key to keeping our Alliance strong” and that he looked forward to working with him.
For years, Trump has expressed skepticism about the Western alliance and complained about the defense spending of many of its member nations, which he regarded as too low. He depicted NATO allies as leeches on the U.S. military and openly questioned the value of the alliance that has defined American foreign policy for decades. He threatened not to defend NATO members that fail to meet defense-spending goals.
Rutte and his team also met Trump’s pick as national security adviser, U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, and other members of the president-elect’s national security team, the NATO statement said.
Rutte took over at the helm of NATO in October.
Where’s ZeroHedge when you need them? They’re the Soviet experts…
I suspect Russia may decide to begin dropping interest rates and letting the ruble fall in the exchange markets. If their current overnight rate of 21% is still causing the ruble to fall like this, how high must rates go for the ruble to stabilize vs. the USD?
On this vital info, they are missing in action! Or is this intentional? Hmm…
Debt to the Penny blew past $36 trillion….
$36,034,994,586,981.97
Just think it only took about three months to go from 35 to 36 trillion! Wow
By the way, not sure if you have seen this yet. There is a guy making this pretty good infographics about controlled opposition in the media working for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.. Here are a couple he did on Zerohedge:

Thanks for sharing this. ZeroHedge was called out years ago by the business press, like Bloomberg, CNBC, etc., and they discussed many of these details you present, but ZeroHedge followers dismissed it. The alt-media fall into the logic trap of the enemy of their enemy being their ally.
The whole irony is that Russia’s economy is on the brink of a serious break. The removal of Western finance and business has really created a long term economic cancer for Russia. The ongoing collapse of the ruble is the outward sign.
Russia’s business practices are much more corrupt than anywhere in the West. With the ruble slowly collapsing under the weight of its corrupt Soviet economy, foreigners can come in and buy up everything for pennies on the dollar. But Russia has isolated itself and that’s its own doing.
Their economic numbers are more managed than anything the West publishes. Russia’s publicly released inflation numbers seriously underestimate true inflation. Much more so than anything in the US.
The economic circumstances in Russia are becoming so tenuous that I can easily see a scenario where it just goes nuts out of frustration. These are the seeds for future conflict. And that’s the problem in the alt-media. They are not being shown how serious circumstances are in Russia. The Putin love fest clouds their judgement. It seems Russia’s best export is Soviet-style propaganda. What compounds the problem is that there really is no legitimate political freedom in Russia and Putin is like any party chief under Soviet rule.
I hate to say that ZH is very effective, but it’s true. So many in the alt-media refer to it, too. They absorb that slanted view. People like Joel Skousen, who keeps claiming that he knows more than anyone else about “the conspiracy,” continually refers to ZH.
I remember years ago on my blog saying that the dollar would collapse, not from weakness but by strength. The readers and listeners I had at the time disagreed strongly with my view, but the strong dollar has prevailed and will continue. Just look at how the dollar has held up versus the Eurasian currencies. Look how it’s held up against the ruble, yuan, rupee, yen. Bank of Russia has to raise overnight rates to 21% just to keep the ruble from collapsing.
I think it was the CEO of the largest Russian aluminum company who just said that with interest rates that high, it pays to shut down their factories and take their cash and invest it in Russia’s equivalent of a money market fund. Talk about corruption and inefficiency. We won’t hear this on Zero Hedge, but I think it’s probably the most important unfolding economic catastrophe anywhere around the globe, because I see no viable solution.
I certainly won’t make any claims like Joel Skousen, but I figured out early that ZH was pure propaganda.
Thanks for this.
Stalin and Lenin had their own ideas of communism. Lenin was for world communism along with Trotsky. Stalin wanted the power locally within the USSR.
The issue with the Orthodox Church is this. In or around 1918, the genuine Patriarch of Moscow and of All Russia (Tikhon) anathematized the Bolsheviks. This left a void in what was once Holy Russia. The Russian people trampled on the Grace of God by killing the God anointed Czar Nicholas II.
Years later Sergei was appointed Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia under Stalin. This creates a serious problem for those who are the true Orthodox of the unbroken chain of bishops going back hundreds of years. To me and others who are Orthodox from birth and baptized by priests directly connected to once Holy Russia, we can’t (or should not) have communion with any branch of Orthodoxy from a succession of bishops after Sergius.
There is also a more current issue that took place in 2007. ROCOR joined Moscow. Many churches since the revolution that had no communion with Moscow, are now under the MP. Except those churches under a bishop that did not sign on to the 2007 unification. The church I go to now is one that is not under the MP. The priest does not commemorate the MP.
This site openly discusses Christianity and the Russian Orthodox Church is the only true Catholic and Apostolic church. I urge people to get better acquainted in the teaching of the Holy Fathers like St. John Chrysostom who wrote the divine liturgy that is used to this day. Nikolai Gogol wrote an excellent easy to read book explaining the entire service. Highly recommended! It’s not fair to outright denounce the Russian Orthodox Church as a general statement.
This site doesn’t discuss Christianity nor religion. This site discusses the Bible.
The Bible says that no institution nor physical structure represents the church. Rather, the people themselves are the church and when two or more people discuss the word of the Bible, that’s the church. We don’t have to attend church on Sundays. I attend church everyday. I study the word everyday and discuss the word on this blog every day.
This blog helps to facilitate the meeting of biblically oriented like minds and like kinds. This blog could be considered a church. The people who were not biblically oriented have already abandoned this site. I suspect that 80% of the few people that come to this site seek the truth and the truth is ultimately contained in the Bible and not in some church doctrine.
Indeed, I do have a confirmation bias. If I don’t agree with something, my reasoning is not subjective, but rather, due to my understanding of the words contained in the Bible.
Al, does this mean you are part of the Catacomb Church or a breakaway ROCOR one?
Since the Eastern Orthodox reject the procession of the Holy Ghost as proceeding from both the Father AND the Son, it’s no wonder that Papa Stalin, Papa Lenin, and Papa Putin must always be right and Russia continues to be ruled by anti-Christ oligarchs.
It’s not called a catacomb church – or should say I never heard it referred as such. It’s just a plain church with a priest and bishop that did not go along with the MP. And you can’t have a church without a bishop, so it’s important who the bishop is. Perhaps it’s effectively a catacomb church. We were all ROCOR prior to the 2007 unification. Just some managed to not go with the flow. There is also OCA, which we are not a part of.
An excerpt from the Symbol of Faith: And in the Holy Spirit, The Lord the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is equally worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets….
Communism attempted to take the place of God and murdered those who opposed its authority. Fortunately many were able to get away. The rather obvious truth, yet not widely known, is those who remained and their descendants are not of the higher class of people who were murdered. The Soviets murdered the best of the best – and who did not get killed fled for the US or other parts of the world.
It’s not so much the first generation that remained in the Soviet Union that are the dregs but their descendants became increasingly so after decades of communist propaganda and indoctrination in schools. It’s no wonder by the time WWII was happening the world had some nasty animals to deal with. And quite possibly to current times. Putin and the oligarchs are full blown Soviets. Not Russians. I make the distinction between Soviets and Russians. And White Russians specifically are the people that I am from.
If your ROCOR Church is not going with the flow, as you say, then they would not be in communion with the Moscow Patriarchate like the rest of the ROCOR churches are, which would make it a defacto Catacomb Church. Catacomb churches go a step further than ROCOR and definitely do not recognize the 2007 reunifaction with Moscow. Moscow would basically deem you schismatic, sort of like how the Vatican deems sedevacantists as schismatic. It’s similar to the Greek Old Calendarists, who also are not in Communion with Constantinople (or Moscow). OCA is the Russian-controlled English Orthodox churches of America. They are under the Moscow Patriarchate (MP).
FYI:
Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev) filed a complaint on YouTube to hide his sexual crimes!

Yes absolutely correct. We are old calendar all the way. Just like ROCOR was when I was growing up until 2007.
Moscow is still old calendar, but they are a succession of bishops originating from Sergius. As far as we know anyway. So one can’t go by that alone? The devil has clever disguises. In reality, Moscow should have reunited with ROCOR. Repent and make the church whole again. But biblical prophesy says otherwise.
I can’t begin to figure out all the layers of this. Part of being born into Orthodoxy is understanding from birth there is no alternative but the truth. The foundations of Christianity are rooted in Orthodoxy and Orthodoxy alone. This is perhaps why there is such division and fighting.
Not only is the Russian Central Bank a member of the Rothschild Bank of International Settlements, many of the former Soviet Gosbank personnel now work for the Russian Central Bank. It’s as if only the name plate on the front of the building changed.

Ever since the Tsar of Russia was removed and he and his family were murdered, the synagogue has been in control. First step was the Russian Empire, with the Bolshevik Revolution. Then communism (invented by jews, so called) began to spread across Europe, WW1, leading to WW2 and so on. The central banks are one big cabal!
Bingo. The one thing that confuses me is whether or not the bankers are the real masters. Rothschilds seem to be. That being said, I saw somewhere, once, a quote from the Jewish encyclopedia that the Rothschilds are the Papal treasures. Which could imply a subordinate relationship to the power of the Papacy. Jesuits and Jewery (possibly some fraternal orders) are the only organizations I can think of that seem to have a coherent multi century long plan which seem guided by a singular Master mind.
The history of the United States is a vast mystery me. The more I learn the more confused I seem to get about the various characters there motives and means. I generally feel the real principles are hidden.
It’s a bit off topic but in some sense I think it goes to the heart of the matter. American seems more complex than just the Jesuit play to destroy Protestantism or the macinations of the Royal family to regain there lost territory or the opportunism of the ethnoc Banking class. It really does look like the battle ground for the soul of mankind.
If America is out of the way, the tribulation can begin. The United States is definitely unique among all other nations. We must be careful not to absorb too much Zero Hedge propaganda, which says the opposite.
Trump is the perfect fall guy to go down with the ship. America will probably be Pearl Harbored and our financial/ debt issues will be exploited to the fullest. All orchestrated of course!
Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
Brilliant discussion on Vladimir Lenin challenging the Russian central bank and then dying a couple of years later. Interesting part on how Stalin possibly murdered Lenin and also protected the central bank. I never heard this before as the mainstream history books never discuss what actually happened.
One thing I do know is that Stalin discontinued the Soviet minting and circulation of silver and gold coins. In fact he criminalized ownership of silver and gold coins.
This all said, Putin is a puppet of the Synagogue of Satan just like Biden, Kamel, Trump, and the Bushes. They are all actors dancing to the tune of the SoS to usher in the NWO. Those who think Putin is a religious man of God fighting the evil western leaders are the real suckers being played by the SoS just like those who side with the west.
This is all a staged show to distract us from their drive to usher in the NWO.
However, the destruction they commit with the wars are real and real lives get sacrificed. The wars they wage are not a hoax like some people claim.
Joseph Stalin was also a puppet of the Synagogue of Satan until they possibly did him in by 1952.
I have watched a show where they speculated he may have been poisoned (No surprise).
He served his purpose and they no longer needed him. His bosses felt he got too nationalistic and they could not control him any longer. They destroy the puppet when they get out of hand.
Andrei, it’s important to realize that when Communists are assassinated, it is not necessarily because they have turned good and gone against their handlers. It is almost always because they have served their purpose and they have become too much of a liability for the Party. Both Lenin and Stalin were loyal Communist demons all the way through to their deaths. The Communist system routinely liquidates its own—even the most loyalist adherents.
Russian lawmakers approve massive increase in defence spending
22 Nov 2024, 09:06
MOSCOW, Nov 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) – Russian lawmakers approved an almost 30 percent hike in defence spending Thursday, committing the country to yet more huge outlays next year on its military offensive against Ukraine.
Moscow had already ramped up military spending to levels not seen since the Soviet era, pumping out missiles and drones to fire on Ukraine and paying lucrative salaries to its hundreds of thousands of frontline soldiers.
Lawmakers in the lower house State Duma voted to approve the budget in a final reading Thursday.
President Vladimir Putin said earlier this year that Moscow was already spending close to nine percent of its economy on defence and security — the highest level since the Cold War.
That figure includes other parts of its budget that are essentially security spending but which are not classified as “national defence”.
reading of a budget that will see a record 13.5 trillion rubles ($134 billion) spent on “national defence” — more than six percent of Russia’s GDP.
President Vladimir Putin said earlier this year that Moscow was already spending close to nine percent of its economy on defence and security — the highest level since the Cold War.
That figure includes other parts of its budget that are essentially security spending but which are not classified as “national defence”.
Russia has been keen to tout the budget’s planned spending on social projects, while downplaying the massive military outlays.
The spending plans “ensure all social obligations, solve development tasks and respond to the challenges faced by our country,” Duma Speaker and Putin ally Vyacheslav Volodin said.
The budget now needs to be rubber-stamped by the upper house of parliament before being signed into law by Putin.
