The Political Party of the “Super-Rich”: Moscow Connections



The British Conservative Party of the “super-rich” has clearly had an ongoing relationship with Russian money for many years and took almost half a million pounds in 2019 from just three wealthy individuals with close ties to Moscow (Ref. 2). Political donations in Britain need urgent reform.
However, the financial support from Lubov Chernukhin (wife of Putin's ex Finance Minister), Alexander Termerko (ex Yukos oil man) and Vasily Shestakov are just the tip of a very large hydrocarbons-berg that has been growing for many years. Alex Nekrassov is a major player in London. The notorious 2013 Billingsgate fundraiser (Ref. 1) where Borisova, May and several others prostituted their Party was a ramping up of efforts. David Burnside (ex BA) has been heavily involved via his links to all sides, including the DUP who have been most supportive in recent times.
For at least 10 years, Conservatives have regularly claimed that a wide variety of individuals prepared to pay are British citizens, which is true, since many have double nationality. They were essentially allowed to buy passports until recently for a million quid, few questions asked, under the Tier 1 Visas scheme introduced in 2008 to allow individuals with at least £1m to invest to remain in the UK on a long-term basis (Ref. 4). This was seen as a speedy way for wealthy foreign nationals and their children to become British citizens. The price was raised in 2012 to 2 million quid. Various sources in Russia no doubt often provided the money in order to bring their people in. UK Home Office anti-corruption checks are well known as a complete joke. The same schemes operate in Malta, Cyprus and Moldova, although Moldova is a little cheaper than Great Britain (Ref. 5).
Many greedy hypocrites accepted funds and pretended that Russia was somehow a normal democracy in transition and not a petro gangster state. This was a standard City of London 1990s fantasy and lie which has utterly corrupted it and the Conservative Party, so hugely supportive of “The City” for many decades. For Example, as recently as May 2019 there was a friendly ladies dinner attended by May, Rudd and Leadsom, amongst others (Ref. 3).

Tory Lily Livered Liars Feathering Nests

  There is a large segment of British society, both home and abroad, who have not been able to gain from the terrible experiences of parents and grandparents. Through no fault of their own other than choices about how and what to learn, they never heard from an early age about any invasion of their country, never read about the desecration of their family homes and so were able to learn from that. It is no accident that Japan and Germany are two very stable successful countries now whereas Britain and America are going through various political and social turmoils and attempts at shifts to authoritarianism. In parts of mainly non-Celtic Britain, mostly within certain older parts of the moderately affluent Middle Classes, a sub-group of that deeply privileged sector received, then stoked a probably detrimental surfeit of jingoistic and ersatz "Patriotism" through much of a lifetime. It seems at times to be the very breathed air itself for those Johnnies. The results may

Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] Trickling Upwards in a Gush

    Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] trickling upwards in a gush. A neatly manufactured cash-teat sucked at by old nasties Drexel Burnham Lambert [DBL], Blackstone, Stephen Schwarzman, Apollo, Leon Black, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts [KKR], cold dead philanthropist and jet-setter Jeff Epstein and a few other Movers and Killers all mixed into that particular soup. Predatory vulture disaster capitalism at it's very best. Potentially coming to your nearest health insurers, asset strippers and property inflaters in US, AUS and UK soon, so make sure you are well prepared [$$$$] folks. More opportunities for supporters to screech "Conspiracy Hypothesis" at every opportunity when finance related issues nudge against the fundamental orientation of their prevailing grain from a position of great knowledge. Apollo, run until recently by the nasty Leon Black before the stink of his Epstein ties became overpowering and he resigned,

New Names Required for GOP and Tories

    Lest anyone be unsure as to the still remaining intentions of many the men remaining within what is still called the Republican Party in America, as well as their handmaidens in what is still called the Conservative Party in England. They were tolerated and often silently agreed with by many in those groups/parties over the years and decades.   Ten years ago they started to steadily accelerate the money, hoping the time was right. Nazism in Deutschland was essentially a gangster regime, deeply envious and resentful towards The British Empire, wanting it's share of the spoils. This is precisely what happened in that decade we all learned about and thought could not occur again. Do not believe it. No-one was prepared to stop it then and many now cry "Wolf" now. No-one used the phrase "Conspiracy Theories" in 1934. It is very simple. One is either with it or against it. There is no flexible "middle ground". That's called "accomm
