Two Awesome Video Guides to Moscow! Москва (2018) – Обзор! #Russia2018
I’ve selected these video guides around Moscow from two of my fave YT travel video bloggers, a Brit Graham Phillips and an American Nadine. They are very different in style, but they both know their stuff. Both of these vids get my nod of approval. They possess the right spirit and energy, and they are something I can recommend. Check’em out.
1: Moscow – A Guide To! (2018) – Москва – (2018) – Обзор! By Graham Phillips, British journalist and truth-teller, famous for his eye-witness reports from Donbass front lines and credited with helping to awaken the English-speakers to the truth about the war in Donbass and Kiev junta’s real nature.
Graham bought an apartment in Odessa just before the Maidan and Kiev coup. After 2014 he was unable to return to the city, where his life would have been in danger from the junta regime and ukro-nazis descended in numbers on Odessa. He later got word that ukro-nazis took over his Odessa apartment, expropriated it in other words, in his absence.
This video is a pleasant, lighthearted view of Moscow in the run-up to World Cup 2018.
2. what MOSCOW RUSSIA is REALLY like. From a young American’s (novice) perspective, but she means well and a nice footage. Also just to point out, Nadine made this film at the height of anti-Russian hysteria in the West, when everything was full of Russia-bashing, with distorted views throughout (well, except Futurist Trendcast and a few other good publications, of course). This in itself deserves respect.
The Golden Autumn Festival in Moscow
The Golden Autumn festivals (Rus: Zolotaya Osen’) are traditional in Russia — I recall them since my childhood. This one is very special: Golden Autumn Moscow 2017. The festival is taking place as we speak near Red Square and by the Kremlin Walls. I was sent this cute amateur video. Check it out!
The Golden Autumn Festival is on the video from 1:30 to 11:18. Check out all those amazing pumpkin lions, pumpkin elephant, New Year Tree made out of gourds, pumpkin peacock, and much more!
After that, across Red Square, the video continues in the evening, at the brand new Zaryadie Park. The Zaryadie Park has only just been built, and it already is steeped in legend and lore. There is much to say — I have lots of fascinating lore to share. The dedicated Zaryadie episode should come up on Sunday — stay tuned.
For now check out Zaryadie attractions at night from 11:18 onward. Make sure you check out the lit-up Flying Bridge, named so because it is free-flying across Moskva River: on this video from 14:00 to 15:30!
After that, we are back to white-water-surfing near Kremlin Walls — not a joke! 😉
Also, stay tuned for my mega-post on MONDAY! We have some major reasons to celebrate!
Nice weekend, everyone!
Putin on US: Hard to work with people who confuse Austria and Australia + Lada Ray on Russia/China
Russian President Vladimir Putin weighs in on illegal seizures by the US of 5 Russian diplomatic properties. Below is what he has said during the current BRICS Summit in China.
As a keynote to this post, I want to emphasize that continuous aggressive actions by the US against Russia, China, N. Korea and others only push Russia and China closer together. Resolve is only solidified on the Russian and Chinese side, and other countries are ready to join in, to form and expand alliances against US on all levels.
That coming together of Russia and China was exactly what Trump’s secret (and much smarter than him) campaign advisors urged him to prevent. But Trump has fallen off his horse, and as I predicted, has to toe the Dark State line, while wearing his deep state straitjacket, to avoid impeachment and survive his term.
On another hand, as a result of USA’s stupidity, N. Korea’s resolve to hang on to its nuclear program is also growing. If US / Trump continue stoking the fire of the N. Korean nuclear crisis, the problem may escalate into a global catastrophe, touching many countries.
The US establishment’s idiotic actions only expedite the day of reckoning for the US and Western system in general. Remember we discussed in Earth Shift Webinar 4 that whatever US does at this point in time will only backfire, due to its waning power and due to this being ‘The Time of Russia.’
All this, along with timelines and predictions, is being discussed in the EARTH SHIFT WEBINARS:

What Putin says below is exactly how Russians at large feel ~ take notice! Three main points to note in this replica by the Russian President, known for his sharp wit:
1. It’s hard to work with people who mistake Austria for Australia;
2. American people must be a truly great nation and truly great people if they can tolerate so many low-lives in power;
3. US blocked Russia from using Russian properties, which is a blatant violation of property rights. Russia will appeal this in US court ~ we’ll see just how just and effective the ‘much-lauded’ American justice system really is.
Couldn’t get any more caustic and any more clear than that. Watch:
Speaking of ‘how just and effective the ‘much-lauded’ American legal system really is,’ I calibrated the US justice system in my QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS videos, and even 2 years ago it calibrated below the minimum positive level of 200: around 180 (pride). And it calibrates even lower today! The decline is very visible:
Today QC (quantum calibration) of the US justice system is only 120 (FEAR)!

Lada Ray on Earth’s Light and Dark Energy Portals, Knots and Vortexes
Nancy asks | April 7, 2017 Re. Spirit Science August, 2016 post: “Liberating Syria’s Ancient Pentagram Vortex & its Geopolitical Effects”. http://thespiritscience.net/2016/08/13/liberating-syrias-ancient-pentagram-vortex-its-geopolitical-effects/ This essay asserts that in addition to trying to secure a pipeline through Syria to disrupt Russian gas flowing to Europe, removing Syria’s elected government & other power goals, part of Washington DC/Isis goal is to gain control of the 5 cities comprising the “Syrian Pentagram Goddess Vortex”.
**The Syrian energy vortex is actually a pentagram. In the hands of the Light forces, this pentagram is an instrument of good that can transform the whole Middle East and can be a huge transmitter of positive feminine energy. In the hands of the dark, this pentagram can create much suffering, as people in Syria have experienced in the last few years. All five points of Syria pentagram are key towns in Syria that had a strong connection with the Goddess energy in their rich past. The five cities include Homs, Aleppo, Raqqa, Palmyra and Manbij.** Palmyra is the birthplace of Zenobia, the queen who lead the revolt against the oppressive Roman empire.
I would like to Ask Lada for your Earth Shift assessment of this view. There does seem to be a lot of back and forth on Palmyra and ongoing efforts to cut off water supply to Aleppo.
LADA RAY ON EARTH’S ENERGY PORTALS & VORTEXES, NEGATIVE VS. POSITIVE ENERGY
AND EARTH SHIFT
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE, LIGHT AND DARK, POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE ENERGY
Dear Nancy, an excellent question. In our haste to keep up with major geopolitical developments, the pace of which is greatly expedited during the Great Earth Shift, we often forget about looking at the problem from the multi-dimensional perspective. But only by rising above the ‘battlefield’ Earth, only by elevating ourselves above what is perceived as important when we brew in the karmic soup of human emotions, can we glean the broad cosmic picture and gain a perspective of truth that can help us define our future.
One of the truths impossible to deny, regardless of what creed you subscribe to, is that everything in our world is energy. The constant energy exchange is how our world – and the multi-dimensional universe we live in – breathes and evolves.
This energy exchange can be positively or negatively charged. Who determines what constitutes a positive or negative charge? Criteria are very different, depending on what dimension you are in and what ‘realm’ you are from.
In human 3D – lower 4D society, currently in existence here on Earth, we very briefly may define ‘positive charge’ as that which supports and creates life and allows for growth and expansion of consciousness.
A ‘negative charge’ is the opposite: that which threatens or destroys life, as well as any possibility of positive growth of consciousness.
For short, people often refer to these charges as ‘light’ vs. ‘dark.’ This is an expedient shortcut and usually serves its purpose. However, I have to mention (this is well outside of today’s topic) that this is not always exactly accurate.
We actually need a balance of both light and dark in our lives in order for our world to possess harmony.
Light and dark, in their pure form, can also be identified as yang and yin. By themselves, these are neutral categories of energy. It is how we use them that makes all the difference.
In reality, it is the harmony between light and dark, yin and yang that creates the necessary balance, and therefore supports life, expands consciousness and facilitates a better future.
The truth is that it is a severe imbalance of yin/yang and light/dark that is creating catastrophic situations on our planet. The problem of the Earthly human society is that we have a severe imbalance of the yin and yang energies, which is what creates the preponderance of negatively charged dark energy. This is where the true problem lies, and this is why Russia – the Great Balancer has such a hard time trying to keep this world spinning.
This problem, which many feel on an intuitive level but cannot put their finger on, becomes tangible and visible to a naked eye if you learn to quantify energy through Lada Ray QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS. The new Geo Calibrations theory further expands this ability.
Our universe is relative and based on contrast. Therefore, when you translate any problem into a comparative numeric scale, and if you systematize and define your criteria, you’ll learn a great deal about your subject and the world around you. On a very down-to-earth, rudimentary level, this is what Quantum and Geo Calibrations allow us to accomplish (of course, there is so much more to it).
ENERGY PORTALS, ENERGY VORTEXES & ENERGY KNOTS
Now we are getting into the issue of energy portals and energy vortexes. Since these are new notions for this human civilization, there is no agreement on terms so far. Of course, the main premise is always the same: energy exchange and how said energy exchange is used by us. In that, I am in a complete agreement with the aforementioned article.
Here is how I define the energy portals and energy vortexes (and you’ll see below why my definitions are important):
ENERGY PORTAL is a geo location which serves as a gateway and focal point for Mother Earth’s energy exchange.
This energy exchange is threefold: 1. for the benefit of all entities populating Planet Earth in 3D and other realms, 2. for inner Mother Earth’s needs, 3. between the Cosmos (or universe, or source) and Mother Earth.
Depending on the condition of human society, levels of energy and pollution, how actively and by what forces such portal is being used, it may be well-functioning or not; it may posses the preponderance of the energy of light or dark, or be neutral. Due to the adverse human factor and in order to protect the Mother Earth, many formerly active portals have been sealed. For the same purpose, many portals are also well-hidden from the human eye.
Energy portals have the ability to move around the planet. Some fresh energy portals have opened up and now are predominant (by fresh I mean less than 2000 years; the youngest may be a mere couple of hundred years old). At the same time, other, formerly very important ancient portals lost their potency due to human abuse.
ENERGY VORTEX is the powerful energy created and transmitted by a presently active, well-functioning energy portal (or series of portals). Energy vortex represents an alive and actively breathing, pulsating portal, through which a substantial energy exchange is taking place. On human level, energy vortex possesses a substantial, or spectacular, power to influence and moderate energy on Earth.
As I understand, the article quoted above does not provide a definition of a vortex, however, it implies a different meaning (a vortex is a combination of focal energy points or knots?) than the definition I am offering you.
ENERGY KNOT is an energy entanglement as a result of many contrasting energies converging in one geo location. Energy knot may on occasion be generated by a variety of energies, including cosmic, alien, multi-dimensional, and/or the imbalanced energies of the Earth. But most often such knots occur as a result of imbalanced and self-serving human activity and/or as a result of a long-term human abuse of a portal.
THE ENERGY EXCHANGE OF THE MOTHER EARTH
It is important to understand that our beloved Planet Earth is a living, breathing, evolving being, which hosts us, humans, like she hosts all other types of life. In this regard, it is painful to watch what humans, in their fear, greed and hatred, do to our beautiful planet. This is a very big and difficult topic indeed, and I will leave it for another day.
Today, I want to focus on energy portals and energy vortexes. As you know, I always look at things multi-dimensionally and globally. In this regard, it is hard to separate what is happening in Syria from the rest of the world.
As I pointed out, our Earth is a living, breathing being. Therefore, the entire body of Earth is covered with energy portals, as well as energy lines connecting important portals and energy points. These are called either Dragon Lines or Ley Lines.
Energy portals may be perceived as chakras of our planet – they allow for energy exchange. As such, they exist all over Earth.
Therefore, technically, energy portals/vortexes are located in many places on Earth. Now, this begs the question: why don’t humans perceive them? Why, based on articles such as the one quoted by Nancy, it appears that they are a rare and exceptional occurrence?
The answer to this is multi-fold:
First: Due to the karmic issues resulting from excessive materialism and rejection of a true connection with the spirit (or source) most humans lost the ability to see and perceive energy.
Second: In fact we all know of large energy portals and powerful vortexes. It’s just that the majority of humans don’t perceive them as such due to the fact that these very important and powerful geo locations have been claimed by certain power structures, allowing them to exert their power over large groups and territories, sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. As a few examples of such ‘claimed’ vortexes: Pentagon and CIA headquarters in the USA; the Vatican; the Moscow Kremlin in Russia.
Third: Energy portals on our planet are of different sizes. Due to many factors, some are a lot bigger and much more important than others. A large and powerful portal/vortex is easier to perceive than a smaller one.
Fourth, and perhaps most important!
Humans had screwed up a huge number of great energy portals in the past, and they continue damaging and polluting them in the present. Therefore, many portals have been sealed by Mother Earth to protect them from human invasion. This certainly limits the ability of humanity to evolve, but it is a must to protect Mother Earth.
Other very important portals have been hidden in such areas on our planet where humans cannot reach. I will give you a hint: many important ancient portals are located in northern Urals, Siberian Taiga, Lake Baikal, and Russia’s Far North, where few humans ever venture. There are some others, located in Antarctica and at the bottom of oceans. Again, these hidden vortexes allow Mother Earth to breathe.
There used to be vortexes hidden in the South American rain forest as well as in Australia, and some are still there. But every year they get more and more polluted as human greed and predatory Western capitalism reaches deeper and deeper into previously pristine geo locations. I am not even going to bring up the painful issue of the oceans and its catastrophic pollution levels. All this clogs and drains the energy of vortexes.
There is so much more to the story, but even from this perspective alone you can see why Russia – the Great Balancer has to possess such large territory and why no aggressor was ever able to take over Russia. For a long time, Russia’s dominance over such large territory has kept pristine and breathing the hidden energy vortexes of Siberia and the Far North.
MIDDLE EAST AND SYRIA ENERGY PORTALS
In Syria and Middle East’s case we are dealing with Energy Portals, rather than Energy Vortexes. According to my definition of the difference between the two, energy vortexes are presently active and well-functioning energy portals. Clearly, except a few locations, Syria/Middle East hardly possess any such vortexes. The portal may be there, but it’s either sealed or diminished.
Due to centuries of strife, neglect and misuse, most, if not all, energy portals of the Middle East are either severely damaged, sealed or dead. The Mother Earth has since relocated elsewhere much of the power associated with the majority of those ancient portals.
The greed-and-aggression-based energy abuse of the past centuries resulted in a very heavy karma for the region. In turn, this resulted in a severe loss of Life Force. The obvious result of such Life Force loss is mass migration out of the region (for more read Mass Migration: What Happens if a Country Gains or Loses its Life Force? (US, EU, Russia, China, Ukraine, Syria).
However, due to human genetic memory often expressed as a built-in longing for the ‘good old days,’ there is still a lot of value attached to ancient portals of the Middle East. Due to their important geo location and historic significance, Syria portals are a big prize among them.
Yes, on a geopolitical/economic level there is a fight for the gas routes to Europe. However, this is only part of the story. It goes much deeper. On the energy level, the region’s past prosperity and glory remains a deep-seated human memory. Palmyra was once magnificent and the region was once a prosperous and bustling geo location. But it’s all in the past. Basically, there is a fight based on the memory of what was and wistful longing for what could have been.
Note, there is a great deal of difference to how the human energy vs. the Mother Earth energy would feel to us. In the case of Syria and Palmyra portals, it is human energy that is predominant (NOT Mother Earth energy). In most cases there is a confrontation between various human energies, oftentimes also either assisted by or conflicting with the Earth energy. It is these screaming for help, ailing and swollen energy knots that may be perceived by some as ‘vortexes.’
However, as I pointed out above, there is quite a bit of the phantom memory of the past glory. Much of the positive energy has been long depleted. Instead, what’s left has turned into negatively-charged energy knots, fortified and expanded due to negative charge of various human forces converging in the region, such as ISIS and Al-Nusra, US/West, Turkey, Israel, Saudis and Qatar.
That’s not to say that, for instance, Palmyra portal may not become healthy again at some point in the future. However, this won’t happen under current circumstances. The energy is presently highly polluted and damaged; it is negative and dark. Basically, the ongoing fight is about the dominance of either light or dark over these ancient portals turned energy knots. Energy knots usually exert much regional influence by spreading the energy around through Ley Lines and inducing more negativity. It is true that if such energy knots fall into the wrong hands, the whole region will be plunged into even more darkness. The back and forth fights over Palmyra and other Syria locations are a sign of very significant swollen energy knots formed in the region.
The complex Syria situation is akin to the global Earth Shift and geopolitical processes in miniature: the same ping-pong goes on between US/West and Russia, and USA and China, albeit with less blood and with much higher stakes. In this regard, the importance of Syria as a litmus test for mankind cannot be underestimated.
Generally, one has to be careful about overusing one of the sacred geometry symbols, in this case a pentagram, to prove a point. There are other energy portals in Syria, most notably the Khmeimim Air Base, which are presently more important and in better condition. The fact that the base is currently under Russian control is indicative of the beginnings of a positive shift in Syria, Middle East and Mediterranean. By extension, it also indicates a shift of the balance of power in the world.
Ancient Palmyra is the biggest energy portal in the area and it’s in horrific condition. This is why the situation around it has been in so much flux. Sensing this, to fortify the portal and infuse it with a surge of positive energy, Russians not only helped liberate Palmyra, but also tried to raise the energy by Gergiev Orchestra performing in the ancient Palmyra ruins. They succeeded, albeit temporarily – the neglect and abuse of the portal is too severe;; it’ll take a while to reverse the damage. Russians also made a lot of effort to restore Palmyra’s ancient sites – for the same purpose. As we see, the Palmyra chakra is still severely ailing, but the energy knot is being slowly unraveled. (Raising Chi and Healing Syria: Gergiev Orchestra’s Classic Russian Music In Palmyra Ruins).
It has to be said that its terrible state is in big part due to the general state of the Middle East. There is too much infighting, mutual hatred and rivalry between peoples who should be close relatives. Instead of working together and living in peace, they try to undercut or eliminate each other. This severely weakens energy centers, such as Palmyra, which have to constantly absorb this kind of deadly energy.
Many of us are angry (as we should be) at the dark and negative role the US/EU/NATO/West play in Syria and generally, the Middle East. As it has been for centuries, the West makes the bad situation worse.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MOTHER EARTH’S ENERGY PORTALS FOR HUMANITY
The Earthly energy portals have paramount importance not only for our planet, but also for all of us. They are, in fact, energy wells into which humans, animals and plants can tap to replenish their energy and borrow more energy, if needed. But energy portals have to be maintained, protected and respected.
When they are severely weakened or damaged due to excessive and mindless abuse by humans, as is happening almost everywhere in the Middle East, as well as Ukraine, it leads to wars and cataclysms.
It also wide opens the door for the negative dark forces to come in and tear apart those poor tribes, nations or countries that disrespected their heritage and/or their own people. In our day and age, the forces of radical Islamism, fascism (such as Ukro-Nazism) and the aggressive West usually play the part of such dark forces.
Palmyra’s portal is presently too weak, too drained and polluted to replenish the people who are supposed to defend it. This is the reason Palmyra is so hard to defend: it actually drains her defenders, rather than empowering them.
Palmyra’s undecided fate is a strong indicator that the world is constantly shaking and swaying and can’t find its balance during the Earth Shift.
More so, it is an indication that the Great Earth Shift is sorely needed. Unless humans raise their consciousness and heal their karma, there is no future for mankind. The Great Earth Shift is a consequence of human abuse of themselves and their environment. But it is also our greatest hope for a better tomorrow.
In conclusion, I also want to mention that during the Earth Shift there are geo locations in the world that tend to provide stability in the quickly changing world. However, there are also geo locations experiencing stronger turbulence: they are the crossroads of the world. Syria, Turkey and Ukraine are some of the contemporary crossroads. EU may be becoming one, as well. Such crossroads tend to become the knots of violence during Earth Shift.
Just like energy portals that shift around the planet, the knots can suddenly form, but they may also suddenly dissipate. Today’s crossroads and knots may unravel tomorrow, while the new ones may form elsewhere on the planet, where it’s least expected. Of course, it only seems sudden to those who do not pay attention. Those who do, see it coming well before it happens.
The good news, much of our future depends on us, humans.

OOPS! Ukraine’s Hero Nadezhda Savchenko is… the Kremlin Agent!
I confess, I’m tired of hearing that American billionaire Donald Trump is ‘Kremlin agent.’ This is the kind of story likely to be concocted by those who are desperate, knowing that power is slipping out of their hands. This accurately describes the situation with Clinton, Soros, and the whole neo-liberal NWO camp.
But wait! Putin and Kremlin’s outreach is far and wide. Not only Trump, CEO of ExxonMobil Rex Tillerson and Trump’s top advisors, but the rabidly Russophobic and pretty crazy Nadezhda Savchenko also turns out to be Putin’s super-spy within the Kiev ukro-nazi junta!
Recall what I predicted in
Lada Ray Report: Real Reason Putin Pardoned Murderer Nadezhda Savchenko
In the aforementioned May 26, 2016 report I wrote:
Savchenko’s “card will be played by Timoshenko… I’m sure others will also try to play her card. She’ll be wined, dined and courted. They’ll try to groom and mold her into something. But I think… she’ll definitely get herself in trouble within 6-7 months, or better yet, she’ll get the whole Kiev junta in trouble.
In short, a pawn such as Savchenko is very useful as a tool and bargaining chip. She doubles as an unpredictable Trojan Horse.
She’s about to fulfill her purpose. I intend to kick back and watch how Poroshenko and Kiev will manage to keep this loose cannon under control. This should be quite a show.”
We are right on schedule, people! Hardly 6 months have passed since I wrote that, and…
This began a week ago:
Nadezhda Savchenko, in defiance of Kiev, traveled to Minsk (seat of Minsk 2), where she met with leaders of DLPR Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky. During the meeting she discussed the POW / prisoner exchange. The All-for-all prisoner exchange is stipulated in the Minsk 2 peace agreement, brokered by Putin, Merkel and Hollande, but Poroshenko and the Kiev junta are refusing to abide by it.
Savchenko has tried to get it going again, achieving an understanding with Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky. In her interview she stated that when she talked to the DLPR leaders, she saw them as human beings with whom it is necessary to negotiate, not as separatists and enemies.
This has generated a storm of a scandal in Ukraine. The woman for whom the whole Ukraine and much of the EU cried just a short 7 months ago, demanding her liberation from the ‘brutal Kremlin regime,’ whom the junta elevated to the near-godly status, electing her in absentia into the Rada and Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, this same Nadezhda Savchenko was immediately branded as traitor and Putin’s agent.
Yulia Timoshenko has announced that Savchenko is expelled from her party Batkivshchina. Rada deputies are preparing to oust her from the Ukrainian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and from the Rada committee on national security.
Is it any surprise that Savchenko is being targeted for actually doing something sensible and positive? In the land of the blind one-eyed man is king. In the crazy, warped reality of the Kiev ukro-nazi junta, even Savchenko is the height of sense and sensibility!
In a nutshell, per Lada Ray Report: Real Reason Putin Pardoned Savchenko, the ‘sly Putin’s plan’ of sending back to Ukraine the Savchenko Trojan Horse has worked! Get your popcorn or semechki and watch what happens next. The Kiev junta implosion coming! See Predictions.

Expect More Provocations as Russian and US Elections Near! Russian jets intercept US spy planes in Black Sea
Yet another extremely dangerous provocation & a hostile act by the US in Black Sea, next to Crimea!
US spy planes have twice tried to approach the Russian border over the Black Sea with their transponders off, the Russian Defense Ministry said, adding that SU-27 fighter jets were scrambled in response.
Read my previous reports:
- Breaking! US Planned to Turn #Crimea into Military Base Against Russia
- Mystery Revealed: What frightened the USS Donald Cook so much in Black Sea?

EXPECT MORE PROVOCATIONS, HACKS & HOAXES!
As we are approaching Russian Duma Elections on September 16, 2016 and US Presidential Elections in November 2016, the provocations of various sorts will be on the rise. They will range from examples such as above aggressive act to hysteria regarding Trump, David Hawking, Bernie Sanders and Bill Mahr being Putin/Kremlin agents as described in this article by Glenn Greenwald: What’s Behind Barack Obama’s Ongoing Accommodation of Vladimir Putin?
Note: I only recommend the opening paragraphs of the above article, which are spot on. I do not recommend the main premise and the rest of the article, especially the warped conclusions about why Obama refused to send troops to Ukraine.
Obama may want to but can’t send troops to Ukraine for much more serious reasons than the lame conclusions drawn in Greenwald’s article. Namely, by doing so:
1. Obama would have started hot WWIII, and what a gigantic, non-removable blemish it would be for Obama’s already tarnished ‘legacy’!
2. US would lose all of its European allies, including Merkel and Hollande, in one fell swoop, should US cross that line.

Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails Scandal and Will Kremlin Release Them? Recall my Prediction!
Remember my prediction, dated November 24, 2015?
Quote:
“And now, a little preliminary prediction for the USA’s presidential elections 2016. I am saving the full prediction for the US elections for 2016, when I’ll do a complete prediction about USA as part on a new Earth Shift Report. But I will give you a sneak peek, which is tied to the Russian jet downing in Syria.
Here is my prediction about US elections:
AS A RESULT OF ALL THE FAILURES AND EMBARRASSMENTS OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.”
Read complete predictions in Explosive Consequences of Turkey Downing Russian Su-24 Jet in Syria – Complete Analysis and Predictions!
Recall also what I said in Earth Shift Report 8: BLACK SEA GAMBIT. I said that if you care about the future of the US and the world, whatever you do, don’t vote for Hillary Clinton.
Breaking news!
The missing Hillary Clinton’s emails may be in the Kremlin’s possession. According to US MSM, there is a debate between Russian Foreign Ministry and Intelligence whether to release these 20,000 emails they had hacked, or not. I generally wouldn’t hold my breath for US MSM’s accuracy, but in this case it’s plausible.
I predicted many times previously that those who orchestrated Ukraine coup, those who continue moving NATO towards Russian borders and those who supported ISIS and Erdogan in Syria would have hell to pay. Let’s recall that Clinton was US Secretary of State under Obama and that she is presently the biggest hawk out there.
Another interesting detail, confirming what I’ve said, is Kerry’s recent visit to Moscow. A few months ago, out of the blue, Kerry asked for an unscheduled Lavrov and Putin’s audience. He arrived to Moscow, carrying a guitar and a mysterious suitcase he didn’t entrust to anyone. The contents of the mystery suitcase became the subject of a Putin’s joke, who remarked that if Kerry was carrying billions of dollars as a bribe, then Russia wasn’t for sale. Incidentally, the visit took place right after the Rostov plane catastrophe, when a hoax was floating around, postulating that on board there was a female CIA agent carrying millions of dollars as a bribe for FSB. Kerry responded that he brought a gift, which they would be pleased to see.
It later turned out that he brought a guitar, which he played for Sergey Lavrov as a gift for his birthday. After Kerry came back to the US, he unexpectedly began defending Russia’s actions in Syria during a Congress hearing, causing confusion in the ranks of Russophobic Washington DC. Russian Foreign Ministry’s official rep Maria Zakharova praised Kerry and even dedicated a poem to him.
Let me translate all this from secret diplomatic slang: Regardless of what else Kerry brought to Moscow in his suitcase, he definitely brought an olive branch and a signal that he wanted to make deals. How far those deals have gone? Certain concessions by the US were made regarding Ukraine and Syria.
USA has already backed off in Syria, as we clearly see. In Ukraine it will take much longer and it will be extremely gradual, so US wouldn’t lose face (prediction: it will still lose it, but later). Recall my original prediction Ukraine turnaround will occur slowly over the period of 2016-2018. We are right on schedule.
Kerry also came to distance himself from the White House, Pentagon and Hillary. Russians responded by signaling that they appreciated that and that they would welcome any Americans who were ready to negotiate.
Before you listen to videos below, let me predict one more thing. Watch what happens in the next few months, before the US elections! You’ll see a lot of games being played. You’ll see some forces trying to protect Hillary and delay the FBI investigation. You’ll see it underplayed, etc, etc.
However, the actual investigation doesn’t even matter. The very thought that USA could end up in the hands of a commander-in-chief who is so irresponsible that she has taken secret emails to read in her home’s comfort, while sipping tea and lounging on a couch, thus potentially jeopardizing the country’s security, will make many Americans vote for anyone, but Hillary Clinton.
Full circle back to my predictions.

Intel: Kazakhstan’s Snap Elections, Nazarbayev, Color Revolutions and Eurasian Union

EARTH SHIFT REPORT 1 double feature+
IS PUTIN PART OF NWO? Astana KZ – New NWO Capital?
~~~~~~~~~
From RT: “Exit polls show near 100 percent support for incumbent Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev in a snap presidential election in the central Asian country. Exit polls have confirmed Nazarbayev has won about 97.5 percent of the vote, while there was a voter turnout of over 95 percent. International and local observers at polling stations across the country have reported no significant violations. There were a total of 858 observers from 19 countries present.
Nazarbayev’s rule is contested by two other candidates, the leader of the Communist party and the leader of the state labor unions federation. However, they are widely seen as non-competitive, with Nazarbayev clinching 95 percent of the votes in the previous election in 2011. Nursultan Nazarbayev, 75, is often accused of suppressing opposition and freedom of speech. In 2014, the French Geopolitical Crime Observatory gave him the title ‘Dictator of the Year’, beating Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe as well as three toppled leaders: Tunisian Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Haitian Jean-Claude Duvalier. Opposition journalists accuse him of cultivating a personality cult, to which he owes his high election results. Nazarbayev is promising to take his country into the world’s top 30 best-developed countries.
“Should Kazakhs show me their trust again, my first act will naturally be to create a committee on implementing five constitutional reforms,” he said. Those reforms are aimed at “not letting the global crisis negatively affect [Kazakhstan’s] development, to maintain the speed of growth and prepare grounds for a new leap ahead.” Link to post.
Video:
Russian: В Казахстане прошли досрочные президентские выборы, в которых участвуют три кандидата: президент Нурсултан Назарбаев, руководящий страной с 1989 года, секретарь ЦК Коммунистической народной партии Тургун Сыздыков и председатель федерации профсоюзов Абельгази Кусаинов. “В Казахстане в дружбе и согласии проживает более 130 народностей и национальностей: 50%казахи,30%русские,около 5%немцы и остальные 15% украинцы,белорусы,узбеки,татары и т.д.”
English: Snap presidential elections ended in Kazakhstan. Three candidates participated: current president Nursultan Nazarbayev – leader of the country since 1989; leader of the Kazakh Communist Party Turgun Sizdikov; head of the country’s labor union federation Abelgazi Kusainov.
According to my Kazakh sources, and I quote: ‘in Kazakhstan, in friendship and accord live 130 different nationalities: 50% Kazakhs, 30% Russians, 5% Germans; the remaining 15% are Ukrainians, Belorussians, Uzbeks, Tatars, etc.’
Nazarbayev’s Kazakh nickname is ‘Elbasi,’ which translates as the ‘voice of the people’ or ‘head of the people.’
I hear that this time even those who usually don’t bother, went to vote, the majority – for Nazarbayev. The reason: people want stability. Nazarbayev means just that for his people. The worry for many is that he is getting on with years. However, to this date, there is no worthy substitute for him in his country. I do hear the name of Tasmaganbetov (Тасмаганбетов) as potential successor.
More from my Kazakh sources: people also talk about the fact that they don’t even know other candidates, what they want, what their plan is, in other words, they appear to the people being neither here nor there. Is it because they aren’t given equal opportunity to promote themselves, or is it because there is simply no contest?
About 100 initial candidates entered the race, with 3 qualifying for the elections. It is rumored that Nazarbayev didn’t want to run any more, but that his party Nur Otan (Нур Отан) insisted he runs again. “People want peace and order, it’s dangerous to change anything in the country now” – “Народ хочет мира и порядка. Сейчас опасно что-либо менять в курсе страны.”
As you know from my previous articles, LadaRayLive videos and interviews, Kazakhstan is a member of the Eurasian Union together with Russia and Belarus; member of SCO with Russia, China, etc.; member of the Caspian Club, with Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan; one of the biggest allies of Russia, with its policies directed towards closer ties. Kazakhstan will also play a role in the new Eurasian Silk Road Project and in the anti-petrodollar revolution. There is much more about all that in: Global Consequences: Russia Announces Eurasian Union and New Currency Altyn. This is video report with lots more info and pics.
Left to right: Belarus president Lukashenko, Kazakh president Nazarbayev, Vladimir Putin
The global geopolitical and mystical role of Kazakhstan and personally Nazarbayev cannot be underestimated. I said previously in this interview, PUTIN’S DISAPPEARANCE AND THE NEW SILK ROAD, that Kazakhstan together with Belarus, serves as a support for Putin and Russia in the rebalancing of the world, Belarus representing the western support and Kazakhstan the eastern one. See PREDICTIONS for more about Russia’s rebalancing role.
(I highly recommend you also take a look at Earth Shift Report 1: Is Putin Part of NWO? In it you will find a very interesting piece about Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, with pics. In it, the myth that Astana is the new NWO capital is debunked.)
The futuristic Astana
All the above makes Kazakhstan a prime candidate for color revolution. Look at Ukraine: the bloody maidan and coup of 2014 followed the announcement by Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus of the formation of the Eurasian Union. It was necessary to pry Ukraine away from Russia and prevent Ukraine from joining the union.
Many prior attempts to organize a color revolution in Russia have failed. Seeing that 2012 protests on Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square brought no result, those who are behind color revolutions all over the world, changed their tactic. They organized the assassination of Boris Nemtsov. (Read: Lada’s Investigation: Who Benefits from the Death of the Russian Opposition Leader Boris Nemtsov?)
Nemtsov himself was hardly popular and largely overlooked in Russia, being just a deputy of the Yaroslavl’ city council, a small city near Moscow. His only value was in his death. That death had to be as loud and as prominent as possible. Hence shocking and dramatic assassination next to the Red Square and 200 meters from the Kremlin’s main Spasskaya Tower. They were hoping that Nemtsov’s mourning may be turned into a bloodbath next to the Kremlin, the seat of the Russian President.
During the ‘march in memory of Boris Nemtsov’ organized by opposition and authorized by Moscow authorities to take place next to the Red Square, several Ukrainian politicians and known provocateurs were detained, including a Rada Deputy who was filmed dancing on burned bodies on Odessa’s Kulikovo Polie during the May 2, 2014. With them, these people had American dollars in small denominations, which were supposed to be used for payment to violent thugs, who would turn the peaceful commemoration into a blood bath. They were planning on re-creating the Kiev maidan 2014, when 20,000 ‘peaceful’ protesters, many of whom were used, and even more of whom were simply bought, camouflaged 2,000 choice militants and trained thugs, who were there to provoke violence by attacking and burning police. As we know, it worked out very well in Kiev.
Not so in Moscow. After ringleaders wannabe were detained (and let go after the fact), there was no one to direct the thugs. Russian FSB and OMON also arrested an undisclosed number of suspected militants from Ukraine, Chechnya, Georgia, Baltics. As a result, no maidan in Russia.
While Belarus and Kazakhstan are doing pretty well on this front too, the danger of a color revolution is still high in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan – the new members of Eurasian Union (Kyrgyzstan officially to join in May 2015), and well as in Tajikistan – a prospective member.
It has to be noted that the attack on Eurasian Union states is, and will continue being, multi-prong. Let’s call it a hybrid war. It is understood that Ukraine maidan and the ukro-nazi junta were organized to prevent Ukraine from joining Eurasian Union and to create an area of permanent instability on Russia’s borders. It worked only partially, but unfortunately, my prediction that Ukraine economy would be completely destroyed in the process is coming true all too well.
More about Ukraine and the dirty mechanics of the euro-maidan in these two Earth Shift Reports:
Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are now balancing an inch from their own color revolutions. My prediction is: attempts to create color revolutions will not succeed in either of these countries. Unfortunately these attempts do succeed in creating distractions, economic hardship, and slowing down the process of building the Eurasian Union.
Another devilish goal they have is to create animosity and hatred between countries, nationalities and peoples. Recent, very strange events in Armenia, when a Russian soldier knocked on a door to ask for water and supposedly killed an Armenian family, led to an explosion of anti-Russian protests and demands that Russian military base be removed. The event practically reeked of false flag. Fortunately, the Russian government acted in a very level-headed manner, promising full trial disclosure. The majority of the population didn’t support the Russian base closure demands and they died down. However, attempts to destabilize Armenia continue.
The same story is true for Kyrgyzstan. According to my data, in small Kyrgyzstan, population 5.72 million, there are 17,000 Western and Western-financed NGOs!! As we know, Western NGOs, financed by the US Endowment for Democracy, Soros, US State Dept, and others, are the instrument of color revolutions.
Prediction: as I said, there will be no success in organizing such color revolution in Kyrgyzstan. But attempts will continue for the foreseeable future, until all these countries manage to create a strong joint political, economic and defence system. This will only be possible as a result of Eurasian Union and the New Silk Road project.
Finally, the biggest intrigue: why were these snap Kazakh elections conducted one year before term, especially considering Nazarbayev was guaranteed a win? The reason is the same as above: color revolution and potential economic crisis inflicted via currency manipulation. Last year, Kazakhstan already went through a major devaluation (25% or more) of Tenge, its currency. It’s still nothing compared to the devaluation of the Russian currency, following the attack on the Ruble in December 2014. I’ll write more about that and what will happen soon, in the upcoming Earth Shift Report: Game of Rubles.
Anticipating that attempts to destabilize the country economically and politically will continue, and that possible hardship is coming, Nazarbayev and his advisors decided to do preemptive elections now, when the country is relatively stable. Organizing snap elections also provided another advantage. Kazakhstan knows they are in line for a maidan of their own. They have their own Western-sponsored NGOs and their own opposition.
By the way, on FT when we refer to ‘opposition.’ we mean practically without exception, Western-paid and Western-trained opposition.
Nazarbayev and his people know (a little birdie must have whispered this advice into their ear) that while US State Dept, CIA and Victoria Nuland are busy with Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, they have a reprieve. Doing snap elections during this period means that Nuland won’t get to Astana on time and local opposition won’t be able to organize themselves.
It turned out they were right.
Incidentally, it is known that US and their allies are preparing a color revolution in Russia for 2018, in the attempt to sabotage Russian presidential elections. Also, preparations are underway to sabotage 2016 Russian Duma elections. Russians aren’t asleep; defences are being prepared. None of this will work.

Vladimir Putin Steals the Show in TIME 100 Readers’ Poll
So, despite all the noise and bashing throughout the West, including Ukraine and Eastern Europe, despite the newly invented boycott designed to make all Russians feel bad – that of the May 9th Great Victory celebrations in Moscow – Putin wins the TIME 100 readers’ poll with no contest. That, with nearly 60% of votes cast inside US, plus another 10% coming from Canada and UK.
What is the conclusion? Very simple: those who create all the vicious noise against Russia are the absolute minority, some with ulterior motives and others, because they are hired shills. And their goal is to first weaken, and subsequently, destroy Russia. Considering that Russia is the ultimate Global Balancer, what they are trying to achieve should be clear. When there is no more Global Balancer, they will be able to do whatever they want with our planet!
P.S. Incidentally, ‘Russia as the ultimate Global Balancer’ and related expressions, are my proprietary terms, which are part of my EARTH SHIFT teaching. Read more about that in Predictions. Another part of the EARTH SHIFT system is an idea I first expressed years ago as a linguist and mystical futurist. It establishes a mystical and esoteric connection between Putin and Rasputin. This connection is both profound and important for the entire planet, although a small portion of it is on the surface in the form of the surname association. But it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Listening recently to something on YouTube, I noticed that some started using my Putin-Rasputin parallel as the idea of their own. If the person(s) who’ve done that read these words, make sure you always give credit to the rightful author! Regardless, those who try to parrot someone else’s idea can only do so superficially. They won’t be able to explain the profound underpinnings behind such theory as they simply don’t have enough knowledge to do so.
I do.
You will be able to read all about this fascinating connection between Putin and Rasputin, as well as other mysterious Russian connections and hidden truths, in THE PUTIN ENIGMA – Earth Shift Special Feature. Once you read my report, you will know exactly why Putin always steals the show.

Vladimir Putin steals the show in TIME 100 reader’s poll
Reblogged from Talesfromthelou.wordpress.com:
Original article: Vladimir Putin steals the show in TIME 100 reader’s poll — RT News, April 14, 2015
In a diverse field of competitors made up of pop stars, technology gurus, visionaries and politicians – and at a time when US-Russia relations have hit rock bottom – President Putin has emerged victorious in Time magazine’s 2015 reader poll.
Among the 100 most influential people in the world, as hand selected by the editors of TIME, the Russian leader proved his rock-star credentials by edging out 24-year-old rapper Lee Chae-rin (better known by her stage name, ‘CL’) of the South Korean girl-group 2NE1 to claim the number-one spot with 6.95 percent of the votes in the final tally.
Putin was the only world leader to rank in the top 10, grabbing the global spotlight from the leading divas of pop music: Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Taylor Swift (2.6 percent, 1.9 percent and 1.8 percent of the votes, respectively). Meanwhile, aside from Putin, the only non-celebrities to appear in the top 10 were the Dalai Lama (1.7 percent), Pakistani female activist Malala Yousafzai (1.6 percent) and Pope Francis (1.5 percent).
President Barack Obama narrowly missed the top 10 with 1.4 percent of the votes, while First Lady Michele Obama attracted 1.2 percent.
Putin’s victory appears all the more incredible when you realize that more than half the votes — 57.38 percent — were cast inside the United States, according to TIME (voters representing Canada and the United Kingdom followed with 5.54 percent and 4.55 percent, respectively). The percentage of votes that were cast from Russia has not yet been disclosed.
The Russian leader dominated the charts at a time of unprecedented tensions between Moscow and the West.
US-Russia relations suffered a major setback on November 21, 2013, when then Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovich suspended plans for the implementation of an ‘association agreement’ with the European Union, showing a preference for closer Russian relations. This decision triggered violent Maidan protests in the capital Kiev, which eventually led to Yanukovich being forced to flee the country in February 2014.
Since then, Putin has steered his country through the rocks of major events, including a reunification with the Crimea Peninsula after a March 16 referendum, which saw an overwhelming number of people voting for it, and subsequent imposition of Western sanctions against Russian individuals and companies.
Meanwhile, Putin and the Russian economy seem to be weathering out the storm of Western sanctions, imposed in response to the Crimean referendum, as the ruble has bounced back from record lows against the dollar and the Russian stock market is one of the year’s top performers. At the same time, European leaders are cautiously optimistic that the Minsk-II agreement, hammered out between Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine on February 11, 2015, will keep the peace between pro-Kiev forces and rebels in the east of the country.
While it is doubtful that TIME magazine will argue on behalf of Putin’s handling of the Ukrainian crisis, which many commentators in the West predicted would spell the end of the Russian economy, not to mention its leader, one thing that is indisputable is Putin’s incredible staying power.

In fact, this is not the first time Putin has taken top honors in a TIME-sponsored contest. In 2007, Putin was named ‘Person of the Year.’ The popular American magazine summarized its decision for choosing Putin with the explanation: “With dauntless persistence, a sharp vision of what Russia should become and a sense that he embodied the spirit of Mother Russia, Putin has put his country back on the map. And he intends to redraw it himself.”
But perhaps the world is only now beginning to understand what Russians have understood for many years. In December, Vladimir Putin, 62, was named Russia’s “Man of the Year” for an incredible 15th successive year. His approval rating – hovering in the stratosphere around 88 percent – is something most world leaders can only dream of.
As the TIME poll indicates, Vladimir Putin – love him or loathe him – is in a political class all by himself.
The reader’s poll stopped calculating votes at 11:59 pm EST on April 10. The full list of TIME 100 winners will appear on newsstands on April 16.
