Yeah. Name ONE significant owner of a large Russian company

Name just ONE.

We're talking about true devotees...who have a LOT to loose if

you're avoid the issue.
If Russia is now supposedly a free country with true democracy,
would there not be at least ONE member without a communist party
background..
You know..like the equivalent of Barbara Boxer...someone with
no previous political career.

Golitsyn specifically said in the 1970's that the first country

You know what ALL con-men have in commmon? The ability to
convince people that they are sincere, even though they are not.
Also, are you aware of the "Partnership for Peace" organization.
it's parallel to NATO, but completely undermines it.

The US government believes in "conspiracy theories"
Go sit in a Federal Courtroom some time.
Every single case, you will here "Conspiracy to commit ... "

[Lots of quoting from the FoF follows]
That's wrong. "Netscape had not yet developed a componentized version of
Navigator. Netscape had assured AOL that it would do so, and AOL
believed that Netscape was capable of eventually making good on its
pledge, but the fact remained that Microsoft had already completed a
componentized version of Internet Explorer."
It seems there were other reasons:
"For example, Microsoft entered a contract with AOL whereby Microsoft
actually paid AOL a bounty for every subscriber that it converted to
access software that included Internet Explorer instead of Navigator."
Isn't that sort of backwards? Paying people to use your software?
How about:
"In the early spring of 1996, therefore, Microsoft exchanged favorable
placement on the Windows desktop, as well as other valuable
consideration, for AOL's commitment to distribute and promote Internet
Explorer to the near exclusion of Navigator."
or an e-mail, written by Gates himself:
"What we want from AOL is that for a period of time -- say 2 years --
the browser that they give out to their customers and the one they
mention and put on their pages and the one they exploit is ours and not
Netscape[']s. We need for them to make our browser available as the
browser to existing and new customers. We have to be sure that we don't
allow them to promote Netscape as well. We want all the hits that come
off of AOL to register on servers as our browser so people can start
seeing us as having measurable browser share."

We have not a shred of evidence that they have converted in the
slightest bit to Democracy or Capitalism...other than their
pronouncements. Their laws haven't changed in any significant
way, other than allowing whole families to travel outside the
country without leaving behind one family member as a "hostage"
Big fucking deal.
They're still as much of a communist country as before, where
the ONLY way to advance is to sell your soul to the devil.

Count on it. The moment the west fails to give into one of their
demands for assistance, within months, the country will suddenly
"destabilize"...there will be some excuse for a special election,
(maybe a plane crash, and it will be claimed that the President
was on board, the corpses badly burned in the fire) and some
ultra-nationalist will be the replacement.
This will be...punishment ... for not yielding to the "give me
your lunch money" bullying tactics.

Wrong. You have the right to petition the government for redress
of grievances...i.e. prosecution of your attacker.
You just don't have a right to a body guard...because that would
*OBLIGATE* somebody else to be your bodyguard, thereby infringing
on that person's rights.

I have explained why a sales tax is much more ethical, doing
