Sources: The Jewish Laundry of Drug Money, Israel Shahak; Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America, Robert I. Friedman.
“FREE SOVIET JEWRY!” was a slogan plastered all over America by the Jews from 1970 to the year 2000.
What the slogan really meant was, “Let Jewish criminals from Soviet Russia flood American shores.”
The late Senator Henry Jackson, who was bought by the Jews, spearheaded in his 1974 Jackson-Vanik Amendment, the Jewish agenda to tie trade agreements between the US and the Soviet Union to “freeing” Jews Soviet persecution.
What the Jewish Media did not tell Americans was that the Jews were the originators of the Soviet system, its prime beneficiaries, and its prime persecutors of Russian Christians.
Word soon got around that there was a “Russian Mob” in America. But no one dared say that the “Russian Mob” was in fact a bunch of “Russian Jewish Criminals.”
The major figure in uncovering the Russian Jewish Mafia in America was a journalist named Robert I. Friedman who died in 2002 at the age of 51 from a so-called “tropical disease.”
In his book, Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America, Friedman interviewed major underground Russian Jewish figures and uncovered their criminal activities in the USA.
After Friedman’s book was published, Russian Jewish Mafia leaders put a bounty on his head for $100,000. The Russian Jewish Mafia knows that it can murder with impunity given their working relationship with European and American intelligence agencies. Even the FBI in America keeps no files on the activities of the Russian Jewish Mafia.
In fact, the FBI, according to Friedman, is loathe to go after Russian Jewish mafia figures because of intense pressure, (and $$$ to key officials), from the Anti Defamation League (ADL). The ADL persuaded the FBI to call off investigations saying that it would “foster anti-Semitism” and bias Americans against genuine “Soviet-refugees.”
Marat Balagula: Born in 1943 in Odessa Ukraine. Amassing a large fortune in the Soviet black market, Balagula at the age of 37 moved from Odessa to NYC under the Jackson-Vanik Amendment.
Balagula opened up a restaurant in the Brighton Beach Brooklyn area and named it “The Odessa.” Soon Marat Balagula had hundreds of Russian Jewish “employees” who had nothing to do with his restaurant business.
~ The restaurant became the headquarters for jewelry fencing, Medicare Fraud, prostitution, heroin imports from poppy fields in Chernobyl, and illegal gasoline distributorships which evaded NY taxes for which Balagula was later indicted but avoided long term incarceration.
Semion Mogilevich: Born in 1946 in Kiev Ukraine. In the early 1970s he became part of the Lyubertskaya crime group in Moscow. Just prior to this, Mogilevich had built a lucrative prostitution ring in Israel and in Eastern Europe.
Semion Mogilevich’s Moscow criminal organization began in trading art and antiques stolen from churches and museums in Eastern Europe. Mogilevich’s criminal organization soon became one of the largest and most feared in the world, employing a private army of brutal killers.
Mogilevitch began trading in military equipment manufactured in Hungary. Soon Mogilevitch began trading in uranium and nuclear arsenals. NATO has said that he is a threat to the stability of Europe.
Mogelevitch also masterminded the largest money laundering scheme in US history, washing 7 billion dollars through the Bank of New York, one of the owners of the Federal Reserve System. Mogelevitch’s money laundering scheme prompted an investigation by US Congress that led to a dead end. Why a dead end? Jewish $$$ perhaps?
ON SEPTEMBER 21 1999, Congressman James A. Leach, Chairman, Committee on Banking and Financial Services, led a full scale investigation of Russian Jewish Mafia money laundering that led to a dead end:
— “Hearing on Russian Money Laundering
The Committee meets for its hearing on the depth of crime and corruption in Russia; Russian use of off-shore financial institutions; and the intertwining of those financial institutions with US banks.
We invited several witnesses but they have declined to appear before the Committee, including: Natasha Kagalovsky, (Jew), former head of the Eastern European Division, Bank of New York; Bruce Rappaport, (Jew), Chairman and CEO of Bank of New York Inter-Maritime; Mikhail Khodorkovsky, (Jew), Russian oil industry executive.
We will begin with an examination of recent allegations that corrupt Russian groups and individuals have infiltrated Western financial institutions. The banks must co-operate with our efforts and be our first line of defense against criminal enterprises seeking to launder their illicit proceeds by entering them into the legitimate financial system.
The US must ensure that our financial institutions do not contribute to or facilitate corruption abroad.” —

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
The Russian Jewish Mafia operates within the Jewish community. Gentiles must understand that Jews have a common interest between themselves for their self-survival. And it is upon $$$ that the Jews depend.
Thus the Russian Jewish Mafia operates with the support of hundreds of Jewish Lobby Groups that receive millions of $$$ from the Russian Jewish Mafia.
And what can American Christians do about the Russian Jewish Mafia and their Bankers? It begins with the knowledge that not only are the Jews pulling their propagandizing-fleece over American eyes, but fleecing American pocket-books as well!

Soviet chemical weapons were produced in the Russian village of Shikhany

Since the New Year, the village of Shikhany in Saratov Oblast has lost its status as a Closed Administrative-Territorial Unit; according to statements from representatives of the British intelligence services, it was here they produced Novichok [the agent that, according to the British governmet, was used in the attempted poisoning of former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia – JAMnews].
Anyone who wants can now visit the hometown of Saratov’s most famous brand. The residents of Shikhany are concerned that now their financing will be significantly reduced, layoffs will begin, and their specialized clinic will be closed.
Poverty is more frightening than chemicals
“The institute was about ten kilometers from here. I try not to go there. The less you know, the better you sleep”, says Sergei Izvekov, a resident of Shikany. The State Institute of Organic Synthesis Technology, which developed chemical weapons during the Soviet era, went bankrupt and officially ceased to exist ten years ago.
We didn’t put too much thought into what, precisely the chemists were doing, even though we lived next door to them. It was dangerous to ask”, Sergei says with a shrug.

When the village was closed, almost all the organizations were directly subordinate to the leadership in Moscow. “The committees from the capital were afraid of travelling here. They didn’t even want to wash their hands under the tap. They’d say, bring us water from [the neighboring town] Volska”, remembers Izvekov. He himself was for some reason not concerned about the ecological cleanliness of the territory.
“For us, it will be a tragedy if they close the medical center. They’ve made cuts to the gynecological and surgical units. During the New Year holidays I was taken to the regional hospital with a suspected case of appendicitis. They fed me porridge made with water. But in our medical center there was always a menu, like in a kindergarten!”
They’re also concerned about cuts to the defense and law-enforcement agencies: without the special status, there’s also no need for people in epaulets. There’s no other work for the men in the village.
The removal of the closed status means a significant reduction to finances – in two years’ time the village will have to live purely on its own income and the oblast subsidies; financing from Moscow will be cut.

They haven’t thought up a replacement
Vladimir Fedosov first saw Shikhany in 1975.
“The local director came to us at the institute. He said, go to an urban-type settlement; your institute will be a little far off, in the woods, but there will be hazard pay”.
Brilliant graduates of the Moscow and Leningrad institutes of chemical engineering gathered at the secret institute. They quickly advanced in their scientific careers. The young families were allocated apartments in what were, by contemporary standards, comfortable five-story apartment buildings.
“We received great goods!”, says Vladimir Fedosov, listing off scarce goods: “Olive oil, tangerines, bananas. I first saw Italian jeans here. They shipped them in and sold them in the shop without any sort of allocation system! In my house I had a long wall dresser, an East-German bedroom, a Polish kitchen, soft, Yugoslavian furniture. In 1986 I received a Vosmyorka from the union, and it had only just come out in 1985! It’s absolutely correct that the Motherland valued our work.”
In the 1990s, after the signing of the Chemical Weapons Convention, it suddenly turned out that the institute’s primary form of work was banned. Residents of Shikhany were not included in the chemical weapons destruction program, for which billions were allocated from the budget. The scientists began to move away. Fedosov was forced to give up his beloved chemistry. Now he works at the vocational and technical school in neighboring Volska.
Thanks to Novichok, the name Shikhany is now known around the world. But this hasn’t brought any good to the village. Almost half the residents are retired. Fedosov’s daughter, like most of the young people born in Shikhany, works in Saratov, and his son works in Astrakhan. “They haven’t thought up a replacement for the institute”, sighs Vladimir.

By – The Washington Times – Tuesday, December 18, 2018
A former associate of ex-national security adviser pleaded not guilty in a Virginia federal court on Tuesday to charges of working as an unregistered foreign agent.
A trial is set for February 11.
Bijan Kian, also known as Bijan Rafiekian, is accused of illegally lobbying on behalf of the Turkish government to influence U.S. officials. Charges against Mr. Kian and another associate, Kamil Ekim Alpetkin, were unsealed Monday.
Mr. Kian’s not guilty plea came the same day a federal judge in Washington, D.C. delayed ’s sentencing for lying to the FBI. The delay came after the judge lambasted for his crimes.
has cooperated with federal investigators in the case against his two former associates and is expected to testify if there is a trial, his defense attorney said in a Washington, D.C. courtroom Tuesday.
Prosecutors in Virginia say Kian worked “covertly and illegally” to advance the Turkish government’s agenda. Specifically, they sought to influence U.S. government officials, urging them to extradite cleric Fethullah Gulen.
Mr. Gulen has been blamed by the Turkish government for a failed coup attempt in 2016. He has lived in exile in Pennsylvania since 1999.
Mr. Alpetkin is currently evading authorities in Istanbul and is unlikely to appear in court.
Prosecutors say Mr. Alptekin and Mr. Kian hid their connections to the Turkish government through ’s international lobbying group. As part of the effort to conceal Turkey’s involvement, they named Alpetkin’s company as the client rather than the Turkish government.
A prosecutor with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team said Tuesday Flynn could have been indicted in that case had he not agreed to cooperate with the government.
The charges against the two defendants appear to stem from Mueller’s Russia investigation. However, the charges were brought by prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia and not Mueller’s team.

BuzzFeed has had a strange past few days, after it published a report that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie under oath about Trump Tower Moscow, only for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to then announce that unspecified details of the report were incorrect. But now the publication has come out swinging with hard evidence about Trump Tower Moscow.
Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani tried to take things too far by insisting that Trump Tower Moscow was little more than a myth, and that no plans for the project even existed. As per usual, Rudy’s reckless remarks were quickly shot down. On Tuesday evening, BuzzFeed extensively catalogued the “business documents, emails, text messages, and architectural plans” it’s obtained about the Trump Tower Moscow project. This includes a rendering of what the building would specifically look like, Vladimir Putin’s involvement, and more. So why does this matter?
We still don’t know which specific details Robert Mueller was shooting down when he refuted the original BuzzFeed report. But by Rudy’s own recent admission, the Trump Organization and Russia were negotiating Trump Tower Moscow all the way up to election day, which means that Michael Cohen lied under oath about it. We also know that Donald Trump was directly involved in the project, and that Cohen was therefore lying specifically to protect him.
This leaves only the question of whether there is proof that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie, and what that proof is. It’s worth keeping in mind that if Robert Mueller were looking to dispute the claim that Trump told Cohen to lie, he’d likely have said as much in exact words. In any case, it’s more clear than ever that the Trump Tower Moscow conspiracy was very much real, and that Team Trump went to great lengths to cover it up.

WASHINGTON — An unidentified foreign government is asking the Supreme Court to get involved in a case that may be part of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
The justices on Tuesday granted the government's request to file a censored version of an appeal to the high court in which the country is fighting a grand jury subpoena and a $50,000-a-day fine for not complying with the subpoena.
The appeal doesn't identify the country, a company it controls or even the lawyers who are representing it. But the appeal says the justices should make clear that a federal law that generally protects foreign governments from civil lawsuits in the U.S. also shields them in criminal cases.
The justices had previously refused to block the subpoena and fine on an emergency basis.
A three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Washington had in December upheld the issuance of the subpoena and a contempt order issued by a district court judge when the company, identified only as wholly owned by a foreign country, failed to comply.
The country says that the appellate ruling would upset foreign relations in a big way if allowed to stand. It says the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is "the first appellate court in American history to exercise criminal jurisdiction over a foreign state."
The country says it is immune from being subpoenaed under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and that complying would require it to violate its own laws.
The U.S. government has until Feb. 21 to respond to the appeal. An uncensored, sealed version of the appeal also has been filed with the court.
Both Politico and The Washington Post have reported that the subpoena apparently relates to the Mueller investigation. Prosecutors have been trying to obtain information from the foreign-owned company since last summer, Judge Stephen Williams wrote in an opinion that was released by the appeals court earlier in January.
The case has been shrouded in secrecy as it has moved through the court system. Federal marshals closed an entire floor of the federal courthouse in Washington last month when the case was argued before the three-judge appellate panel. The move stymied the efforts of a group of about 15 reporters to see whether any Mueller team members or other participants had entered the hearing room.

A union representing FBI agents warned on Tuesday that the partial federal government shutdown has “hindered” the bureau’s ability to conduct operations and pursue investigations. Thousands of union members are among hundreds of thousands of federal workers and contractors now without pay for a fifth week.
As the FBI Agents Association released a report containing firsthand accounts of how the 32-day shutdown has affected operations, its president, Tom O’Connor, demanded Congress and Donald Trump fully fund the FBI.
“The failure to fund the FBI undermines essential FBI operations, such as those designated to combat crimes against children, drug and gang crime and terrorism,” O’Connor told reporters.
He declined to say whether Americans were less safe as a result of the shutdown.
“I will leave that question up to you to answer,” he said.
The union’s plea came as the shutdown continued to affect government services across the country.
The Transportation Security Administration said the percentage of its airport screeners missing work hit 10% on Sunday, up from 3.1% on the comparable Sunday a year ago.
The screeners, who are without pay, have been citing financial hardship as the reason they cannot report to work. Even so, the agency said it screened 1.78 million passengers on Sunday with only 6.9% having to wait 15 minutes or longer to get through security.
In Washington, Senate Republicans released legislation designed to meet Trump’s offer to break the impasse and end the shutdown. The measure would include temporary relief from deportation for young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers and other threatened groups, in exchange for meeting the president’s demand for $5.7bn to build a southern border wall.
But Democrats have vowed opposition to Trump’s wall, calling it an impractical, “medieval solution” to a “21st-century problem”.
Voting is not expected to unfold until later in the week. Even then it seems doubtful the 1,300-page Senate measure, the “End the Shutdown and Secure the Border Act”, has any chance of passing swiftly.
Senate Republicans hold a 53-47 majority but would need Democratic support to reach the 60-vote threshold for bills to advance. Not a single Democrat has publicly expressed support for Trump’s proposal. Party leadership rejected it before he spoke.
The office of the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, reiterated on Monday that Democrats are unwilling to negotiate until Trump reopens the government.
“Nothing has changed with the latest Republican offer,” spokesman Justin Goodman said. “President Trump and Senate Republicans are still saying: ‘Support my plan or the government stays shut.’ That isn’t a compromise or a negotiation – it’s simply more hostage taking.”
McConnell’s spokesman, David Popp, said on Monday that the GOP leader “will move” to vote on consideration of the president’s proposal “this week”.
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley was asked by Fox News on Tuesday if Trump had given McConnell his word he would sign the legislation if it cleared both houses.
“Well, that’s a big if,” Gidley said. “We don’t know what the final bill would look like. But the president has been clear about what he wants.”
On Twitter, Trump wrote: “Never seen [McConnell] and Republicans so united on an issue as they are on the Humanitarian Crisis & Security on our Southern Border. If we create a Wall or Barrier which prevents Criminals and Drugs from flowing into our Country, Crime will go down by record numbers!”
The president has lashed out at the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of acting “irrationally”. House Democrats are pushing ahead with voting on their own legislation to reopen the government and add $1bn for border security – including 75 immigration judges and infrastructure improvements – but no funding for the wall.
The status of the annual state of the union address remains unclear, one week after Pelosi requested that Trump postpone it. On Tuesday, Fox News reported that the White House sent a letter to the House sergeant-at-arms to schedule a walk-through for the address, which is due to be held on 29 January.
Gidley said Trump could deliver the address from another venue if Pelosi blocks him from doing so in the House chamber.
“There are many ways he can deliver the state of the union address,” Gidley said. “I’m not going to get ahead of anything he would announce.”
In his offer to Democrats on Saturday, Trump offered to extend temporary protections for Dreamers and those fleeing disaster zones. On Tuesday, the supreme court said it would not pick up a case concerning Trump’s previous attempt to end protection for Dreamers, meaning they will remain in limbo for the next few months.
