Pain and gain

JdN’s birth and purpose: An individual fighting for the reign of righteousness, and the banishing of the darkness.
The time is very late, and the need is so pressing that only the most emotionally charged noble energy can break the darkness and bring the light.
We know that the bonds of materialism will be broken in the world economic crisis to come. And through the chaos of uncertainty your message will be there. -The message of Truth!
I see your purpose as uniting Aryandom for this great struggle. Yet you have undergone terrible personal pain and injustice… -Why?
I believe your Soul chose to incarnate into your position; because with a higher wisdom – it knew that: as a Phoenix rises from the ashes, and the pilgrim travels theVia Dolorosa, so your suffering was necessary for your life’s mission.
You know from Direct Experience that evil exists, its consequences, and that it must be stopped.
Awaken all God’s children,
Break away the chains!
Fight together God’s children,
This time the whole world!
Krishna, an avatar (in the true Sanskrit sense of a Higher Soul sent down to humanity) tells Arjuna in the famous Bhagavad Gita that, as a member of the warrior caste, his duty is to slay evil men; his duty is to do his duty!

You have the best spiritual weapons and armour, and you are a noble Soul.
We will win in the end dear comrade!
For Namaste, I salute the divine within you

===================
Dear Nelson,
The task is to succeed where Rockwell failed, where Pierce failed, although both strove well, and gave all.
It is to win where the great Charles Lindbergh lost. To fight on where Henry Ford ran up the white flag.
It is to vanquish where the magnificent Robert E. Lee WAS vanquished. (God, I love that man.)
To rise like Hitler and his Reich but not fall like Hitler and his Reich.
As I approach the road, I see the bleached bones of many a fallen hero, of many a great man or woman.
The task, let us be honest, is to be greater than even the great heroes above. We don’t need a symbolic victory or moral victories. We KNOW we are right, and you can thank God when the choice is so clear.
No, we need to actually WIN. And win means to found one Aryan tribe worldwide that survives, becomes powerful and retakes all we have lost.
I appreciated very much your analysis. Yes, suffering has so many uses.
One, it took me down many a peg, to the lowest and most humble level. I spent several years in the mid-1990s literally working as a lowly clerk in a convenience store, just struggling to stay alive during the day and dreading the nightmare-filled nights. (I had a super-violent rape nightmare about once a week for 40 years, and during many I literally demolished my actual bedroom — after I joined the Marines — fighting back against shadow-faced attackers who appeared at bedside. I would throw lamps, pillows –throwing objects accurately is a very good unarmed defense — and once I fiercely draped an entire blanket around my left forearm as part of a classic knife defense — the blanket or jacket hooks the enemy’s knife — , then let out a war cry and charged out and thundered down the stairs, hollering death and destruction to my torturer, pursuing the imagined male figure, while my horrified older daughter, four, stood with her mouth agape. It rent my heart when she called out, in German (I raised my kids bilingually; my first wife was Austrian), her voice full of worry: “Papi, was tust du?” (“Daddy what are you doing?”) That was the worst, the effect on others of my unresolved trauma.
Two, I feel now deeply what pain means for other people.
Three, I learned exactly what a psychopath is, as you pointed out — and that is the key to my worldview: it is psychopaths versus altruists, the basically decent majority versus evil incarnate, deliberate, crafty, and satanically planned-out.
Four, the thunderbolt-like nightmares made me realize how powerful our unconscious minds are, that I was truly re-LIVING long-passed incidents — which is why PTSD means you keep getting RE-traumatized and not “better with time” — and that whatever we think we are thinking about, any unresolved issue will be haunting us deep, deep down, all the time, in the dark background, but come out during dreams. They are a tape always playing in the background….. “you are powerless.”
All this nightmare crucifixion has qualified me to understand psychology better — and Jew power is basically one big psyop. One fifth of one percent of the world tells US they are the boss!
As Dr. Fredrick Toeben says, don’t get mad at the handful of Khazars. Get mad at the Whites who get on their knees before them.
A man of gigantic courage, who has been sent to prison, jailed and is facing with resolution even more prison terrorism from ZOG.
(And reject any form of government where the always morally mediocre masses are manipulated by media psychopaths against the real elite.)
Fifth, if there should be the possibility of having many lives — and that does NOT mean we all have them, or that the Christian view of one life and then judgment is wrong for most people — then perhaps I made bad decisions, narrow decisions, stubborn decision, that affected others.
How not to shudder, for example, at the millions of German women who were raped or murdered after WWII, and as a recent German book points out, many of them, now in their 60s or 70s, STILL have post-traumatic stress.
I can only say that there is absolutely nothing worse than incest, what I experienced for years. It is an unimaginable horror, and surreal to experience. I often felt the world itself was unreal, and some sort of sinister play. I passed out on four occasions when memories were triggered. Once it took two Alexandria, Virginia EMTs five minutes and a pile of smelling salts, in 1991, to bring me around, right at the Public Health office then on St. Asaph Street where I had gone merely to have a STD test, since a new girlfriend as a routine matter requested it of me. A doctor asked me to drop my pants and reached out for me, and I saw gray stars and flashes, burst into a fiery sweat form every pore, and passed out in that instant, before I hit the brown-painted concrete floor of the doctor’s office. I awoke to a strange pile of four or five little brown glass tubes before my face, smelling salt tubes, and saw two EMTs crouched over me, one a nice-looking white man in a blue shirt, early 30s, with dark sideburns, the other a cute brown-eyed gal with blond bangs. They were relieved when I “came to.” I did not understand for some time why my cheeks were clammy and on a cold concrete floor, and my eyes on the level of their shiny shoe soles. I was truly brought low……
=====================
At the risk of no one on this forum actually taking my advice, I would like to recommend the movie Antwone Fisher. Just forget, for a higher goal, that all the key actors are black. Race is mostly incidental here. It is about a rebellious and self-destructive young US Navy sailor who keeps picking fights and getting demoted, and is facing the possibility of a dishonorable discharge. Denzel Washington (who produced the film) plays a Navy psychiatrist who senses the kid with the volcanic temper is burying something.
I recommend this movie because I am unaware of any high-caliber movie about white kids being abused. (And I DO admire this black man for getting his life together.)
The kid — and BTW it is based on a true story, and there really is an Antwone Fisher to whom these things happened — is in total denial that he has any problems. He plays tough, macho, and uncooperative with the psychiatrist. The Navy is forcing him to take the sessions and he just sits there and says nothing, while the psychiatrist does paperwork and waits for the ice to crack.
If it is hard for a woman to admit or reveal she was raped, it is perhaps even harder for a man, even though he was a boy at the time. A self-respecting man will fight to the death rather than submit to such a thing, but a small boy is ludicrously inexperienced and powerless. And the molesters ALWAYS tell him he deserves it.
It is actually SAFER in the short run to buy into that lie, because if you rebel, the molester may very well actually kill you. Molesters of the sophisticated sort often torture and kill little animals such as baby rabbits or goats right in front of the child to show what can easily happen to him or her — or actually force the child to do it so it is wracked with guilt.
(Mao Tse Tung, who basically “molested” the entire peoples of China and Tibet, forced Tibetan kids to actually shoot their own parents so as to destroy their souls. He also literally raped hundreds of women and gave them VD.)
The torture and murder of a baby rabbit before a small child can literally paralyze it into a catatonic state. One bizarre long-term side effect: adults molested as children can start yawning and fall asleep during a horrible scene in a movie. (I find myself strangely yawning during the scene in “The Merchant of Venice” where Shylock advances with the knife to cut the heart out of his gentile debtor and orders him to uncover his chest.) Now, making a child not just catatonic but actually swoon with fear can be even more “fun” for Kinderschänders (in German, “child shamers”). There is verily one solution for all who shame and terrify children so deep into their souls that they swoon with fear at the memory decades later as adults: DEATH without mercy.
Joining the Marines is probably not uncommon for molested teens, who may want a legal way to express rage and to make certain no one will ever lay a finger on them. While I was proud of my three meritorious promotions in the Marine Corps Reserve, it was an ersatz for therapy. When I finally got it in 2003, over 33 years after the events, it was almost as painful as what originally happened, just as I’d feared. It is now said that new techniques can reduce the pain, but traditional therapy involves reliving the torture in a controlled setting. The woman I was then with told me that she had considered breaking up the first session because of the screaming. I can say this: I have not had one single nightmare in six years for any reason. Let me be clear: Molestation is torture. Rape is torture. All such victims are torture victims. And all can find healing, with courage — or continue to just exist and drift.
I knew a German-American named Lee who was molested several times by his own visiting uncle behind the barn of their farm, with the threat that “no one will believe you and then I will kill you. Besides, you know you want it……”
Lee was a homosexual and miserable about it; once I realized he was homosexual, I tactfully used the word “gay” and he corrected me: “John, there is NOTHING ‘gay’ about being a homosexual!” Lee got the Spotlight ]newspaper and was a retired accountant with Purolator. I felt great compassion for this man, who was as much a white nationist as you or I.
But I guess I was just made of stronger stuff, that I never got confused as to who I was. I never accepted the lies. I knew they were absolute evil, and they could not break me.
But that is what the Khazars attempt to do now on a large scale: they tell us we Whites are both evil and weak, we must accept their lies about us, and we deserve to be degraded, humiliated and enslaved, and actually LIKE it, to like being miserable and docile, wracked with guilt that we do not rebel.
Eva Aarnardottir of Iceland was strip-searched for days by black guards with Homeland Security at JFK Airport after a computer said she had overstayed a previous tourist visa. Now the president of the Jewnited Snakes is one of the “brothers.”
What happened to me, and to millions of others, is symbolic of what is happening to our whole race.
In Clint Eastwood’s “Mystic River,” an adult (played by Tim Robbins) who was molested as a child is targeted wrongfully by the police (Kevin Bacon and a black actor) when a teenage girl is murdered.
Robbins’ wife is emotionally confused, and then also begins to wrongfully suspect her husband, who could not quite bring himself to talk about his searing, shame-drenched childhood secret. She does tells Sean Penn, the murdered girl’s enraged father, her suspicions. Robbins does not communicate to his wife his whereabouts the night of the murder; he had discovered a child molester in flagrante delicto in a car with a boy, ripped him from the vehicle and kicked the fiend to death. Now he cannot explain to anyone where he was the night the girl was murdered. A portrayal of rage and shame in a man who never had the courage to get therapy.
======================
Buit because it did not kill me, and I do love hardship, I WELCOME IT, instinctively, it made me stronger.
And we ALL have undergone trauma, brother Nelson. We all WILL undergo trauma — as the Khazar world economy melts down, and the non-whites begin to rampage.
(A comrade sent me an email that the “Justice Department” now estimates there are nine hundred thousand gang members in the USA.)
The leader must himself give the example of personally triumphing over despair and pain. And so he must undergo despair and pain worse than that of any of his followers, if he is to be a great leader in this time, this time of the greatest danger our race has faced in fifty thousand years.
This is why, whatever you think of Jesus, His story is so compelling — to a mankind suffering under psychopaths. Love IS the answer, and hatred of evil.
Merciless, however, to the merciless, we must smash the grip of the psychopathocracy.
And realize that Hitler was in some ways a soft-hearted liberal.
History will ask why did he NOT execute all the Khazar criminals who now torture the whole world, and why he was harsh on the Russian people, who could have been our wonderful white allies. The German and Russian peoples together could have won the war and ended the terror of Khazaria.
Khazars beat an SS man to death at Dachau with a shovel. In the background, his comrades have been mowed down.
Khazars also torture gentle, milk-giving cows during kosher slaughter.
And so I will lift up my hand in friendship to our eastern brothers and sisters, the vast, strong and great Slavic peoples, our allies against Khazaria.
Pan-Arya. Solutré.
Solutré Rock. To the left of this peak the first sharpened hunting weapons ever were found, from 17,000 before Christ. But they have also been found from the same time period — in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Mexico.
How stellar the beauty of our white women. Let every man, in the coming times, be to them all a knight.

Khazar chief of staff humiliates his slave Obongo
Here is a SURREAL reality, as posted in the Sunday 1/25/09 Jew York Times itself!
Here you see the Jewish supremacist Emanuel openly dominating and humiliating the feckless Frank Davis, Junior, descendant via Davis Sr. of black slaves whom Emanuel’s Jew ancestors shipped to and sold in America.
I can say, having served in the Marines and also worked in corporate America, that what Emanuel does below is the most breathtaking insolence toward a superior, and in the presence of another superior (the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America) of which I have ever heard.
And let us recall that however illegal his citizenship and candidacy status is, Obongo is supposedly the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
A subordinate is at the beck and call of his superior. His body language is not nonchalant, or that of an equal. He is there to serve and assist the superior in every way possible. He effaces himself. And NEVER does he get informal with his superior in front of another superior! That would mean a total loss of face for his own boss.
Of course, technically the American people are Emanuel’s boss. WE are the Sovereign, and this government serves OUR needs.
But no Khazar can live by that.
Here now are excerpts from the most unbelievable article I have ever read in the Jew York Times:
By MARK LEIBOVICH
Published: January 24, 2009
WASHINGTON — Early this month, Barack Obama was meeting with the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and other lawmakers when Rahm Emanuel, his chief of staff, began nervously cracking a knuckle.
Mr. Obama then turned to complain to Mr. Emanuel about his noisy habit.
At which point, Mr. Emanuel held the offending knuckle up to Mr. Obama’s left ear and, like an annoying little brother, snapped off a few special cracks.
The episode, confirmed by Mr. Emanuel’s office, underscores some essential truths about Mr. Emanuel: He is brash, has a deep comfort level with his new boss, and has been ever-present at Mr. Obama’s side of late, in meetings, on podiums and in photographs.
There he was, standing at President Obama’s desk in one of the first Oval Office pictures; and again, playfully thumbing his nose at his former House colleagues during the inauguration; there he was, accompanying the president to a meeting with Congressional leaders on Friday.
Mr. Emanuel is arguably the second most powerful man in the country and, just a few days into his tenure, already one of the highest-profile chiefs of staff in recent memory. He starred in his own Mad magazine cartoon, won the “Your New Obama Hottie” contest on Gawker.com and has become something of a paparazzi icon around Washington.
In recent months, he has played a crucial role in the selection and courtship of nearly every cabinet member and key White House staff member.
Renowned as a fierce partisan, he has been an ardent ambassador to Republicans, including Mr. Obama’s defeated rival, Senator John McCain of Arizona. He has exerted influence on countless decisions; in meetings, administration officials say, Mr. Obama often allows him to speak first and last.
“You can see how he listens and reacts to Rahm,” said Ron Klain, the chief of staff to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. “You can see that his opinion is being shaped.” [....]
================================
I concur entirely with my friend Reg from Maryland (who sent me this Times item and the photo below), that the Khazars are sending — via such photos and such articles — the almost open message to each other (and the subliminal message to the goyeem):
This Obongo is 100% our Jewish SLAVE, just as his ancestors were our ancestors’ slave. He will do EXACTLY as he is told. (Just as Michael King, alias Martin Luther King, Jr. did as the homosexual Jewish communist Stanley Levison told HIM to do, and what speeches to give, such as the ghostwritten, Khazar-written, Levison-written “I have a dream ” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.)
Look art the body language below: Emanuel is in Frank Davis Jr.’s personal space, and towering over him, and talking down to him. Obongo is looking up, with neck submissively craned.
This is all CODE, Jew-to-Jew. This is the fulfillment of what Moses Maimonides advised a thousand years ago: when we Jews begin to totally take over the world, we can safely start to flaunt it.
How incredibly psychopathic and stupid, like Joel Klein admitting in the Los Angeles Times (see my earlier post) that yes, we Jews run Hollywood and the media and the government…….
It bespeaks a foolish contempt for the level of rage that is building among Whites.
I am hearing reports all over America of Whites buying guns, of gun stores half-empty, of ammunition prices doubling, and I personally have heard non-WNs, just regular Pennsylvanians, indulge in the most radical talk conceivable.
Look at this insolent Khazar brat!
It is time for the anti-Obama, and the anti-Rahm.
White , bright, realistic and frank: the man Putin
I have highlighted some excellent points by this man who obviously hates the predatory, parasitical psychopath class — and knows exactly who they are.

World Economic Forum
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 28, 2009
* * *
Good afternoon, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to thank the forum’s organisers for this opportunity to share my thoughts on global economic developments and to share our plans and proposals.
The world is now facing the first truly global economic crisis, which is continuing to develop at an unprecedented pace.
The current situation is often compared to the Great Depression of the late 1920s and the early 1930s. True, there are some similarities. However, there are also some basic differences. The crisis has affected everyone at this time of globalisation. Regardless of their political or economic system, all nations have found themselves in the same boat.
There is a certain concept, called the perfect storm, which denotes a situation when Nature’s forces converge in one point of the ocean and increase their destructive potential many times over. It appears that the present-day crisis resembles such a perfect storm.
Responsible and knowledgeable people must prepare for it. Nevertheless, it always flares up unexpectedly.
The current situation is no exception either. Although the crisis was simply hanging in the air, the majority strove to get their share of the pie, be it one dollar or a billion, and did not want to notice the rising wave.
In the last few months, virtually every speech on this subject started with criticism of the United States. But I will do nothing of the kind.
I just want to remind you that, just a year ago, American delegates speaking from this rostrum emphasised the US economy’s fundamental stability and its cloudless prospects. Today, investment banks, the pride of Wall Street, have virtually ceased to exist. In just 12 months, they have posted losses exceeding the profits they made in the last 25 years. This example alone reflects the real situation better than any criticism.
The time for enlightenment has come. We must calmly, and without gloating, assess the root causes of this situation and try to peek into the future.
In our opinion, the crisis was brought about by a combination of several factors.
The existing financial system has failed. Substandard regulation has contributed to the crisis, failing to duly heed tremendous risks. Add to this colossal disproportions that have accumulated over the last few years. This primarily concerns disproportions between the scale of financial operations and the fundamental value of assets, as well as those between the increased burden on international loans and the sources of their collateral.
The entire economic growth system, where one regional centre [Jdn: Jew York] prints money without respite and consumes material wealth, while another regional centre [JdN: Europe, OPEC, Asia] manufactures inexpensive goods and saves money printed by other governments, has suffered a major setback.
I would like to add that this system has left entire regions, including Europe, on the outskirts of global economic processes and has prevented them from adopting key economic and financial decisions. Moreover, generated prosperity was distributed extremely unevenly among various population strata. This applies to differences between social strata in certain countries, including highly developed ones. And it equally applies to gaps between countries and regions. A considerable share of the world’s population still cannot afford comfortable housing, education and quality health care. Even a global recovery posted in the last few years has failed to radically change this situation. And, finally, this crisis was brought about by excessive expectations. Corporate appetites with regard to constantly growing demand swelled unjustifiably. The race between stock market indices and capitalisation began to overshadow rising labour productivity and real-life corporate effectiveness.
Unfortunately, excessive expectations were not only typical of the business community. They set the pace for rapidly growing personal consumption standards, primarily in the industrial world. We must openly admit that suchgrowth was not backed by a real potential. This amounted to unearned wealth, a loan that will have to be repaid by future generations.
This pyramid of expectations would have collapsed sooner or later. In fact, this is happening right before our eyes.
Esteemed colleagues,
One is sorely tempted to make simple and popular decisions in times of crisis. However, we could face far greater complications if we merely treat the symptoms of the disease.
Naturally, all national governments and business leaders must take resolute actions. Nevertheless, it is important to avoid making decisions, even in such force majeure circumstances, that we will regret in the future.
This is why I would first like to mention specific measures which should be avoided and which will not be implemented by Russia. We must not revert to isolationism and unrestrained economic egotism. The leaders of the world’s largest economies agreed during the November 2008 G20 summit not to create barriers hindering global trade and capital flows. Russia shares these principles. Although additional protectionism will prove inevitable during the crisis, all of us must display a sense of proportion. Excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence is another possible mistake. True, the state’s increased role in times of crisis is a natural reaction to market setbacks. Instead of streamlining market mechanisms, some are tempted to expand state economic intervention to the greatest possible extent. The concentration of surplus assets in the hands of the state is a negative aspect of anti-crisis measures in virtually every nation.
In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated. Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the [b]principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. [/B[JdN: Bailouts for Jewish bankers] ] There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state. And one more point: anti-crisis measures should not escalate into financial populism and a refusal to implement responsible macroeconomic policies. The unjustified swelling of the budgetary deficit and the accumulation of public debts are just as destructive as adventurous stock-jobbing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Unfortunately, we have so far failed to comprehend the true scale of the ongoing crisis. But one thing is obvious: the extent of the recession and its scale will largely depend on specific high-precision measures, due to be charted by governments and business communities and on our coordinated and professional efforts. In our opinion, we must first atone for the past and open [show] our cards, so to speak.
This means we must assess the real situation and write off all hopeless debts and “bad” assets.
[JdN coments: This is EXACTLY what I called for in my low-key run for president in October. See:http://www.johndenugent.com/flyer1wod.pdf
I quote myself in October 2008 (with Putin's speech now at the end of January 2009):
| Folks, we've never had a former Marine as president, but maybe it's time. This is not a “recession,” but a Worldwide Economic Depression, a CRASH, with untold TRILLIONS in UNPAYABLE debt: personal, corporate and governmental. We must therefore CANCEL the dollar and ALL DEBTS. We need right away a new currency, called the Jefferson-Jackson, and a new NON-PROFIT NATIONAL BANK (no more “Fed”) to issue the currency and make new loans, interest-free.
No more bailouts for Wall Street crooks -- we need jail-ins! And a FRESH START, debt-free! This is how Germany recovered fast from the ruins of WWII. Chinese, Japanese or Wall Street billionaires must not buy up America on the cheap during a Crash while WE STARVE. |
[Putin continues....]
True, this will be an extremely painful and unpleasant process. Far from everyone can accept such measures, fearing for their capitalisation, bonuses or reputation. However, we would “conserve” and prolong the crisis, unless we clean up our balance sheets. I believe financial authorities must work out the required mechanism for writing off debts that corresponds to today’s needs.
Second. Apart from cleaning up our balance sheets, it is high time we got rid of virtual money, exaggerated reports and dubious ratings. We must not harbor any illusions while assessing the state of the global economy and the real corporate standing, even if such assessments are made by major auditors and analysts.
In effect, our proposal implies that the audit, accounting and ratings system reform must be based on a reversion to the fundamental asset value concept. In other words, assessments of each individual business must be based on its ability to generate added value, rather than on subjective concepts. In our opinion, the economy of the future must become an economy of real values. How to achieve this is not so clear-cut. Let us think about it together.
[JdN comments: "Real value"? Sounds antisemitic.] [b]
Third. Excessive dependence on a single reserve currency [= the Jew.S. dollar]is dangerous for the global economy. Consequently, it would be sensible to encourage the objective process of creating several strong reserve currencies in the future [so Jews cannot just print trillions and buy real products with it]. It is high time we launched a detailed discussion of methods to facilitate a smooth and irreversible switchover to the new model.
Fourth. Most nations convert their international reserves into foreign currencies and must therefore be convinced that they are reliable. Those issuing reserve and accounting currencies are objectively interested in their use by other states. This highlights mutual interests and interdependence. Consequently, it is important that reserve currency issuers must implement more open monetary policies. Moreover, these nations must pledge to abide by internationally recognised rules of macroeconomic and financial discipline.
[JdN comments: The goyeem should now understand how Jews print money and give it to their Jew friends?]
In our opinion, this demand is not excessive. At the same time, the global financial system is not the only element in need of reforms. We are facing a much broader range of problems. This means that a system based on cooperation between several major centres must replace the obsolete unipolar world concept. We must strengthen the system of global regulators based on international law and a system of multilateral agreements in order to prevent chaos and unpredictability in such a multipolar world. Consequently, it is very important that we reassess the role of leading international organisations and institutions.
I am convinced that we can build a more equitable and efficient global economic system. But it is impossible to create a detailed plan at this event today.
It is clear, however, that every nation must have guaranteed access to vital resources, new technology and development sources. What we need is guarantees that could minimise risks of recurring crises. Naturally, we must continue to discuss all these issues, including at the G20 meeting in London, which will take place in April.
Our decisions should match the present-day situation and heed the requirements of a new post-crisis world.
The global economy could face trite energy-resource shortages and the threat of thwarted future growth while overcoming the crisis. Three years ago, at a summit of the Group of Eight, we raised the issue of global energy security. We called for the shared responsibility of suppliers, consumers and transit countries. I think it is time to launch truly effective mechanisms ensuring such responsibility.
The only way to ensure truly global energy security is to form interdependence, including a swap of assets, without any discrimination or dual standards. It is such interdependence that generates real mutual responsibility.
Unfortunately, the existing Energy Charter has failed to become a working instrument able to regulate emerging problems.
I propose we start laying down a new international legal framework for energy security. Implementation of our initiative could play a political role comparable to the treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community. That is to say, consumers and producers would finally be bound into a real single energy partnership based on clear-cut legal foundations.
Every one of us realises that sharp and unpredictable fluctuations of energy prices are a colossal destabilising factor in the global economy. Today’s landslide fall of prices will lead to a growth in the consumption of resources.
On the one hand, investments in energy saving and alternative sources of energy will be curtailed. On the other, less money will be invested in oil production, which will result in its inevitable downturn. Which, in the final analysis, will escalate into another fit of uncontrolled price growth and a new crisis.
It is necessary to return to a balanced price based on an equilibrium between supply and demand, to strip pricing of a speculative element generated by many derivative financial instruments.
To guarantee the transit of energy resources remains a challenge. There are two ways of tackling it, and both must be used. The first is to go over to generally recognised market principles of fixing tariffs on transit services. They can be recorded in international legal documents. The second is to develop and diversify the routes of energy transportation. We have been working long and hard along these lines. In the past few years alone, we have implemented such projects as the Yamal-Europe and Blue Stream gas pipelines. Experience has proved their urgency and relevance. I am convinced that such projects as South Stream and North Stream are equally needed for Europe’s energy security. Their total estimated capacity is something like 85 billion cubic meters of gas a year.
Gazprom, together with its partners – Shell, Mitsui and Mitsubishi – will soon launch capacities for liquefying and transporting natural gas produced in the Sakhalin area. And that is also Russia’s contribution to global energy security. We are developing the infrastructure of our oil pipelines. The first section of the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS) has already been completed. BPS-1 supplies up to 75 million tons of oil a year. It does this direct to consumers – via our ports on the Baltic Sea. Transit risks are completely eliminated in this way. Work is currently under way to design and build BPS-2 (its throughput capacity is 50 million tonnes of oil a year. We intend to build transport infrastructure in all directions. The first stage of the pipeline system Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean is in the final stage. Its terminal point will be a new oil port in Kozmina Bay and an oil refinery in the Vladivostok area. In the future a gas pipeline will be laid parallel to the oil pipeline, towards the Pacific and China. Addressing you here today, I cannot but mention the effects of the global crisis on the Russian economy. We have also been seriously affected.
However, unlike many other countries, we have accumulated large reserves. They expand our possibilities for confidently passing through the period of global instability.
The crisis has made the problems we had more evident. They concern the excessive emphasis on raw materials in exports and the economy in general and a weak financial market. The need to develop a number of fundamental market institutions, above all of a competitive environment, has become more acute.
We were aware of these problems and sought to address them gradually. The crisis is only making us move more actively towards the declared priorities, without changing the strategy itself, which is to effect a qualitative renewal of Russia in the next 10 to 12 years.
Our anti-crisis policy is aimed at supporting domestic demand, providing social guarantees for the population, and creating new jobs. Like many countries, we have reduced production taxes, leaving money in the economy. We have optimised state spending.
But, I repeat, along with measures of prompt response, we are also working to create a platform for post-crisis development.
We are convinced that those who will create attractive conditions for global investment already now and will be able to preserve and strengthen sources of strategically meaningful resources will become leaders of the restoration of the global economy.
This is why among our priorities we have the creation of a favourable business environment and development of competition; the establishment of a stable loan system resting on sufficient internal resources; and implementation of transport and other infrastructure projects.
Russia is already one of the major exporters of a number of food commodities [JdN comments: now that Jewish communism is gone, and farming has made a comeback]. And our contribution to ensuring global food security will only increase.
We are also going to actively develop the innovation sectors of the economy. Above all, those in which Russia has a competitive edge – space, nuclear energy, aviation. In these areas, we are already actively establishing cooperative ties with other countries. A promising area for joint efforts could be the sphere of energy saving.
We see higher energy efficiency as one of the key factors for energy security and future development.
We will continue reforms in our energy industry. Adoption of a new system of internal pricing based on economically justified tariffs.
This is important, including for encouraging energy saving. We will continue our policy of openness to foreign investments.
I believe that the 21st century economy is an economy of people, not of factories. The intellectual factor has become increasingly important in the economy. That is why we are planning to focus on providing additional opportunities for people to realise their potential.
We are already a highly educated nation. But we need for Russian citizens to obtain the highest quality and most up-to-date education, and such professional skills that will be widely in demand in today’s world. Therefore, we will be pro-active in promoting educational programmes in leading specialities.
School #57 in Moscow, a math and science high school. Russia has excellent technical schools; the communists actually did some good here.
We will expand student-exchange programmes, arrange training for our students at the leading foreign colleges and universities and with the most advanced companies. We will also create such conditions that the best researchers and professors – regardless of their citizenship – will want to come and work in Russia.
History has given Russia a unique chance. Events urgently require that we reorganise our economy and update our social sphere. We do not intend to pass up this chance. Our country must emerge from the crisis renewed, stronger and more competitive.
Separately, I would like to comment on problems that go beyond the purely economic agenda, but nevertheless are very topical in present-day conditions. Unfortunately, we are increasingly hearing the argument that thebuild-up of military spending could solve today’s social and economic problems. The logic is simple enough. Additional military allocations create new jobs. At a glance, this sounds like a good way of fighting the crisis and unemployment. This policy might even be quite effective in the short term. But in the longer run, militarisation won’t solve the problem but will rather quell it temporarily. What it will do is squeeze huge financial and other resources from the economy instead of finding better and wiser uses for them.
My conviction is that reasonable restraint in military spending, especially coupled with efforts to enhance global stability and security, will certainly bring significant economic dividends. I hope that this viewpoint will eventually dominate globally. On our part, we are geared to intensive work on discussing further disarmament.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the economic crisis could aggravate the current negative trends in global politics. The world has lately come to face an unheard-of surge of violence and other aggressive actions, such as Georgia’s adventurous sortie in the Caucasus, recent terrorist attacks in India, and escalation of violence in Gaza Strip. Although not apparently linked directly, these developments still have common features.
First of all, I am referring to the existing international organisations’ inability to provide any constructive solutions to regional conflicts, or any effective proposals for interethnic and interstate settlement. Multilateral political mechanisms have proved as ineffective as global financial and economic regulators. Frankly speaking, we all know that provoking military and political instability, regional and other conflicts is a helpful means of distracting the public from growing social and economic problems. Such attempts cannot be ruled out, unfortunately.
To prevent this scenario, we need to improve the system of international relations, making it more effective, safe and stable. There are a lot of important issues on the global agenda in which most countries have shared interests. These include anti-crisis policies, joint efforts to reform international financial institutions, to improve regulatory mechanisms, ensure energy security and mitigate the global food crisis, which is an extremely pressing issue today.
Russia is willing to contribute to dealing with international priority issues. We expect all our partners in Europe, Asia and America, including the new US administration, to show interest in further constructive cooperation in dealing with all these issues and more. We wish the new team success.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The international community is facing a host of extremely complicated problems, which might seem overpowering at times. But, a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step, as the proverb goes. We must seek a foothold relying on the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilisation. Integrity and hard work, responsibility and self-confidence will eventually lead us to success. We should not despair. This crisis can and must be fought, also by pooling our intellectual, moral and material resources.
This kind of consolidation of effort is impossible without mutual trust, not only between business operators, but primarily between nations.
Therefore, finding this mutual trust is a key goal we should concentrate on now.
Trust and solidarity are key to overcoming the current problems and avoiding more shocks, to reaching prosperity and welfare in this new century.
Thank you.
