LADA RAY’S PREVIEW & IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Dear friends, 

1

Below you’ll be reading the continuation of the 3-part Culmination of my new experimental, serialized  EARTH SHIFT REPORT 21: PUTIN 2018 & RUSSIAN ELECTION (ESR21), timed to coincide with Russian Election 2018!

For nearly half-a-month I tried to present to you a fair, multi-faceted and balancedmicrocosm of the contemporary Russian political process, together with a glimpse at both Russia’s turbulent past and exciting future.

This is why I presented fairly to you ALL sides of the spectrum, from communists and far-left all the way to the far-right nationalists and pro-West neo-liberals; from the last-curtain old guard to the new and emerging forces (read about that below!) 

Yes, Putin reigns supreme in Russia’s politics, and his vision for Russia is unsurpassed, confirming my Russia The Great Balancer vision! 

But it would be incredibly naive and one-sided to limit your perception of Russia to just one Putin. 

He is a true Russian democrat, and so am I. We think from our warm hearts, but also keep a logical, cool head on our shoulders. 

This is vastly different from the fake Western ‘democracies,’ which proclaim the ideals of fairness only when it suits them and whose main goal is to affirm their full-spectrum global dominance. When things do not work out in their favor, they lose the thin veneer of their ‘democracy’ and turn outright nasty (as we are now observing with the Skripal UK case: more here). 

Russia is multifaceted and vibrant. This is why Putin insists on various forces’ — even those small or adverse to him — participation in this election. This is why all candidates are given equal chances of the debate participation and Russian TV/MSM exposure, unlike in the West. 

This is why I also am presenting to you ALL sides of the spectrum. It appears to me some people don’t get it. But the majority, I hope, does!

This is the only way I know how to look at things: systematically, multidimensionally and as a complete and balanced system.

I am very happy so many of you were able to join me in the ESR21 special journey through Russia’s past, present and future, beyond the obvious.  Those who did, are richer for it! 

In earlier episodes of ESR21 we have discussed various topics, ranging from presidential candidates ratings & Putin’s main rival, the ‘offshore communist’ Grudinin, to Russia’s new secret weapons & attempts to sabotage the election via Russian ex-spy poisoning in the UK. 

The ESR21 CULMINATION PART 8 introduced you to Putin’s Big Vision for Russia and his 10-Year Plan.

Today I am posting part 9, and the wrap-up part 10 is coming on March 17! Its topic is a secret and I’ll reveal it tomorrow!

 As always, refer to all of your ESR21 inks HERE! The entire content is exclusive and FREE only tomy Patreon followers!

Just letting you know that after working very hard for months, some time soon I may take a few days off.  

But whatever you do, don’t go away!

As the Great Earth Shift gains momentum and a clash between super-powers intensifies, the world events are again accelerating, and much more earth-shattering changes are expected this year! 

Therefore, I can’t be away for long. No worries, I will continue being your guide and wayshower through this time of the Great Earth Shift change!

Soon after Russian Election is over, we’ll be resuming our regular programming, including our Multidimentional, Earth Shift and Quantum Calibrations content, which many of you have come to love!

You know I love you all and I want to give you as much knowledge and info as I can!

I hope you all can join me in this continued journey of discovery and illumination!

LOTS OF HUGE NEW & ONGOING PLANS!

Stay tuned for MY MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS!

 

EARTH SHIFT REPORT 21: PUTIN 2018 & RUSSIAN ELECTION

Part 9:

Why Putin runs as the only independent? 

United Russia dillemma

Russian ‘Paris Hilton’ Ksenia Sobchak & pro-West neoliberal fiasco!

New Blood (Starikov/PVO) vs Old Guard (Zhirinovsky/LDPR, et al)! 

__________

Ksenia Sobchak, a Hillary / Paris Hilton hybrid, and the fiasco of pro-West neo-liberals

Ksenia Sobchak, in my definition is a cross between Hillary Clinton and Paris Hilton.

She is running as the candidate ‘against everyone.’ Not a very constructive position to begin with.

According to the poll, with which we started ESR 21, she gets about 1% approval. She was picked up and backed as the candidate by a small pro-West neoliberal party Grazhdanskaya Platforma – Civic Platform. This allowed her to get into the ballot easier.

In Russia, running from a party means you have to get only 300,000 signatures, while an independent candidate would have to get 1 million signatures.

In this election, Putin is the only independent. Why? See about that below!

KSENIA SOBCHAK and her platform:

Sobchak is a well-known and much hated in Russia TV personality, who used to participate in risky and frisky reality TV shows, such as Dom-2. At one point, she began styling herself as a serious political journalist.

Another shocking and notable thing is that she is the daughter of Putin’s ’90s mentor, Anatoly Sobchak, who was the powerful mayor of St. Petersburg. Putin was her godfather. As such, he still treats her with a mildness and respect she hardly deserves.

Sobchak has been an extremely vocal critic of Putin and everything Russian. Actually, she professes to be for ‘strong Russia,’ but it’s hard to find a bigger Russian-speaking Russia-hater. She is the pointperson for all pro-West Russophobic forces within Russia.

Her platform incorporates the following: 1. Russia is an aggressor, conducting two hybrid wars, in Ukraine and Syria. Russia must admit this, say ‘sorry’ and withdraw from both. 2. Russia must stop protecting Donbass and allow Kiev junta to take it over, with all the consequences for the population. 3. Russia must give Crimea back to Ukraine and apologize. 4. Russia must stop protecting Syria and ‘dictator’ Assad. 5. Russia must disarm and happily join the ‘European family.’ 6. Russia must stop being Russia and do as the US says.

In other words, she could well be a mouthpiece for NYT, BBC or CNN, and no one would know the difference.

This platform is announced by Sobckak every day, including in various presidential debates.

Because Ksenia Sobchak can’t get much following in Russia, she has infamously gone to the US, where many Russians live. She campaigned throughout the US, trying to convince Russians living there that they should vote for her. Her logic apparently was that those Russians living in the US will be pro-US and critical of Putin. We’ll see whether her calculation proves correct on the election day. I think not.

While in the US, Sobchak attempted to meet with Trump, but was refused.

But she was gladly given an interview by CNN, in which she stated that she agrees with the US and is ‘together with the US, being concerned about Russian aggression.’

She also was in the US in search of sponsors and financing, and she found them, of course – no surprise there.

I think that’s about all we need to know about Ksenia Sobchak and her followers; I believe it’s clear what she is. She presently also holds the dubious distinction of having the country’s highest negative rating. Not a dummy, with a large amount of negative charisma, she is an extremely confrontational and scandalous person. Sobchak literally attracts scandal like a lightning rod. You saw an example of how she operates in ESR 21 P3: Zhirinovsky vs Sobchak: Unlikely Brawl on Live Russian TV Between Presidential Candidates + Lada Ray Analysis!

Vladimir Zhirinovsky will be discussed below.

Ksenia Sobchak loves being interviewed by the Western media

OTHER PRO-WEST NEO-LIBERAL PARTIES

The rest of the pro-West neo-liberals aren’t even worth mentioning, but we will, for fairness’s sake. Essentially, there are 3 other parties, and their respective candidates, each of whom gets less than 1% of votes.

Grigory Yavlinsky, leader of Yabloko, 0.6% rating. Yabloko represents itself as the ‘intellectual’ party.  

One of these parties is Yabloko (which in Russian means ‘Apple,’ the name also being an abbreviation of the party’s founders’ names). The party’s long-term leader and presidential candidate 2018 is Grigory Yavlinsky, who was in part responsible for the disastrous ’90s reforms. The catastrophic reforms of the neo-liberals in the ’90s are still remembered in Russia with anger, and his party has been catastrophically unpopular, but very loud. One of the things Yabloko professes is that Crimea belongs to Ukraine, not Russia. But because this position is very unpopular and loses him even more votes, Yavlinksy has been very subdued on that point during the debates.

In the same category, but a lot more physically violent and harmful, is Alexei Navalny, who has been more than once caught either doing something illegal or taking money from the US/UK. He has two suspended criminal sentences and therefore, cannot run for election (see me talk about him more in Part 10). Navalny’s support in Russia is also under 1%, but he gathers around him the loudest and most aggressive elements, who are always on the attack through social media. Their effort is coordinated through CIA and Western surrogates, including Kiev and the Baltics.

The Navalny supporters get paid for their shill/trolling activity, and they have been known to be very effective on the internet, spewing a lot of filth everywhere, creating misdirection and fake news. Yet, very little public support transpired out of all their internet efforts.

There is a clear trace of CIA and global financial elites behind Navalny, who don’t stop financing and training his people, hoping they’ll one day deliver, and create a new chaos in Russia.

Ksenia Sobchak, Navalny and Yabloko/Yavlinsky are a big part of the 5th column, agreeing on everything with the US says, while making bold accusations against Russia.

More reasonable and balanced, and in my opinion the most interesting of the bunch, is ‘Partia Rosta’ – The Growth Party.

The party leader and presidential candidate 2018 is Boris Titov. He gets only marginal 0.3% support. He promotes himself and his party as the ultimate defenders of the rights of business, whether big or small, private, public or state. The platform includes: Russian economy growth through better business climate, promotion and protection of all business, as well as the peaceful business and trade cooperation with other counties.

The platform is very focused and narrow, and it appears to ignore the full scope of geopolitical realities, always pushing ‘cooperation’ with the West. The result of this ‘see no evil, speak no evil’ la-la-land position is very small support.

This party works with Putin and the government, although has certain criticisms as well. Of all neo-liberal parties, it is the most reasonable and clearly, the only positive. It is also the only neo-liberal force in Russia that can boast of some practical achievements, such as trying to convince run-away ex-oligarchs in London to bring their assets back home in exchange for amnesty. Titov personally negotiated the deal in London.

Unlike other pro-West 5th column forces, the Growth Party isn’t known to promote ‘Crimea is Ukraine’ slogan. It seems much more patriotic than the rest. The Growth Party also seems to align with patriotic forces as to who robbed the country in the ’90s. However, it’s still not trusted, being considered the party of the oligarchs.

All in all, as we see, the pro-West neolibs in Russia are suffering a huge fiasco. Just two days to the election, and it’s pretty clear the most each of these parties can hope for is between 0.3% and 1%, if that.

The fatigue over the Old Guard 

On pic above! The old guard: Gannady Zyuganov (KPRF), Sergey Mironov (Fair Russia), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR). 

We discussed Zyuganov and his conundrum in previous article Putin’s Only Worthy Rival? ‘Offshore Communist’ Grudinin & Russian Communist Party Crisis.

Another old guard member, Sergey Mironov and Fair Russia have also been losing votes. Mironov announced that he would not be running this time and that instead, his party throws its full support behind Putin.

The next old guard representative, Vladimir Zhirinovsky (pic above), has too much of an ego not to run, despite his ripe age (read more about him in the previous post about his brawl with Sobchak). Incidentally, his clashes with Sobchak continued in the latest debates, and he even made her cry.

__________

As an aside, it has to be noted that Ksenia Sobchak’s outrageous claims and fake news outbursts make all other candidates interrupt and argue with her during debates, which causes her to accuse all others of collusion and of ‘opposing her, instead of Putin, in this election.’ The real truth is that her scandalous and confrontational nature is such that she does rub everyone, even her fellow neo-liberals from the Growth Party and Yabloko, the wrong way.

___________

Just like Sobchak, Zhirinovsky is very confrontational and flamboyant. But unlike Sobchak, he is patriotic and nationalistic, with big-time pro-imperial Russia flavor. He has a lot of energy and he does possess a universally recognized gift of the gab. He is considered a sort of Russian Trump, to whom he is close in personality. He is also considered a ‘geopolitical prophet’ in Russia.

Zhirinovsky very much supported Trump during campaign, calling him ‘our man,’ and predicting his win. He also persistently predicted Trump completely turning around Russian-US relations. Right on No. 1, wrong on No. 2.

See my own original Trump predictions (right on No. 1 and No. 2)!
