The name Yehuda, which first appears in the Bible (Old Testament, Tanakh) as the name of the fourth son of Leah, also became the name of the tribe of the descendents of Yehuda. In this form, it is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. The term “Jew” (Yehudi), on the other hand, does not appear in the earlier books of the Bible and is to be found only a few times in the later books of the Bible: Kings II, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Nehemiah, Esther and Chronicles.

The term Jew was not used as the collective name for the residents of the Kingdom in its early stages; other terms were used, and in particular “men of Yehuda.” Thus, for example in Judges 15:10: “And the men of Yehuda said, ‘Why are you come up against us?’” The first appearance of the work “Jew” in the Bible is in Kings II 16:6. Its connotation there is identical to that of “men of Yehuda”: “and drove the Jews from Eilat.” Over time, this name replaced the earlier ones, though the meaning remained unchanged. In other words, the term Jew in this period was a person who originated from the Kingdom of Yehuda.

How did the word “Jew” become the name most identified with the Jewish People?

On that very subject of Browder and McFaul:

https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/07/12/more-mumbo-jumbo-on-russia.html

Johnson’s Russia List has been very much propping McFaul in a Soviet like way.

Obviously, they did not look. They simply voted.

Worse than that. Some of them [like Ben Cardin] knew, but chose to use lying Bill Browder’s fake story to poison relations with Russia.

SUPER – IMPORTANT 2017 ARTICLE ON BILL BROWDER
The Legal Battle Behind the Trump Tower Meeting https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/legal-battle-behind-trump-tower-meeting-n785776

See this video @21 min.-end for explanation/analysis of article. (First half video is about Manafort trial, first days report.)

New Findings on Bill Browder

Anonymous # 128 asked: “What is wrong with these people?”
…My diagnosis is the following: 1. need for attention, 2. lack of principles, are subsequently open for taking immoral bribes, 3. a consummate desire to maintain the “good life,” be in limelight, and, 4. On road to perdition, & leading their “constituents” in such direction, they are fooling themselves.

Fake news. Propaganda sponsored by the Russian government. There is no such person as Israel Shamir (a ridiculous and evidently bogus name) this is all propaganda.

I really hope that more articles come out about Browder. I have never seen a man and his story so protected.

See the link:
https://bible.org/seriespage/6-jew-and-gentile-background-jew-old-testament

Great idea.
They could have requisitioned the Gaza Strip for the purpose of resettling Jews and giving them a “homestan” I mean homeland . . .

See #190 for some reason not tagged.

Think how Zionism could have born fruit in an orderly rational world. The great powers in the precursor United Nations would have agreed that unhappy Jews (and indeed happy ones) were a disruptive nuisance in otherwise well ordered states and should be found a place where they could reaslonsbly be expected to iive and bicker among themseves. Accordingy, exercising the right of eminent domain available to the great enough in the Concert of Powers a compulsory acquisition order woulf have been exercised over a big slice of Palestine including West Jerusalem and the well compensated locals offered further finamcial help to settle elsewhere. The Ottoman government would also have profited one way or another.

P.S.
Johnson’s The Birth of the Modern is a fantastic read.
Much more fun than Schama.

I loved the first book of Schama’s that I encountered.
Rembrandt’s Eyes.
In fact, I am quite sure it was a proofreading job.

Anyhow, I loved Rembrandt’s Eyes so much that I sought out other titles by him.
I also loved The Embarrassment of Riches, but IMO it was harder going than Rembrant’s Eyes.
And in none of the others was the writing, IMO, as good as in Rembrandt’s Eyes.
There was always a ton of research and documentation, and interesting apercus—an interesting bringing together of info from different scholarly silos or is that siloes.
But the style was just too difficult going.
He really needed a substantive copyedit—line editing and some substantive editing. Perhaps because his early books had been such a roaring success, and he himself became a kind of cultural icon, his books became more or less “untouchable” for substantive or line editing.

Regarding “nitpicking prissiness,” the fact is that such tics can become very annoying in the course of reading a long book. These tics are the types of things that editors are paid to catch, and suggest alternatives. The same goes for run-on sentences. Eventually one kind of gives up. Run-on sentences often are a symptom of unclear thinking. Or, they can often be made more readable by some tweaking of clauses, etc.

I have to admit, also, that his advocacy of the Zionist program and his attack on Jeremy Corbyn leaves me less than cold.
No longer at all positively disposed toward Schama.
See:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/top-writers-accuse-jeremy-corbyn-s-labour-party-of-antisemitism-2k9r9qnd6

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/writingfromtheedge/2017/11/dear-simon-schama-need-history-lesson-zionism/

“But it’s your denial of any connection between colonialism and Zionism that makes me seriously question your historical understanding.” Amen to that.
Schama has written about the Rothschilds and the Zionism project, so he knows perfectly well what maneuvering and arm twisting pre-WWI was done to create the Jewish homeland at the expense of the pepole arready living there—long before the Holocaust. In fact the author or the (pretty good) letter linked above goes far too easy on Schama, IMHO.

I can agree about Paul Johnson’s readability, so strong it seems inherited too. I read his History of the Jews about 25 years ago when I found myself sitting in representative capacity at an Armistice Day ceremony in a Jewish section of a major cemetery next to a rabbi and asked him what would be a good history of the Jews to read. (It was a typically extended Jewish event with umpteen organizations having wreaths to lay. So I had time to explain that my wandering mind had just remembered the Khazar conversion and it seemed odd that the Khazars would speak a German dialect).

However – despite de gustibus non est disputandum – I disagree about Simon Schama’s style in what I have read him. Indeed, by contrast, I deplore the nitpicking prissiness of the reviewer’s objections to “yet” and “for” and the passage quoted. Moreover my travelling companion, who is a writer and lecturer much appreciated for her wit and style while conveying information picked up the book and spoke enthusiastically of the opening chapter, in contrast to the Saul Bellow novel she had been reading. 🙂

Noooooo . . . [head-scratching emoticon]
what/who is “Olde Wizzr”?

“……, long winded prose, very difficult read. Babbling, long winded, prosaic, it is a nonstop verbal diarrhea of run-on sentences. ”

You do realize that you’re speaking to the Olde Wizzr, don’t you? 🙂

I would recommend Paul Johnson’s History of the Jews over Schama.

Also, Johnson’s writing is better than Schama’s.
The latter has become kind of lazy, I think.
His writing is impossible. As one reviewer states:
“Awful book, long winded prose, very difficult read. Babbling, long winded, prosaic, it is a nonstop verbal diarrhea of run-on sentences. Please someone tell Mr. Schama that in proper English one should not constantly repetitively start sentences with “yet” “for”.

Here’s a great example: “This, then, was the social geography of somewhere most people cannot imagine ever having existed: Arabia Judaica, the home of Judaized Arabs and Arabic Jews – a phenomenon that now seems to us oxymoronic, but in the two centuries before the arrival of Islam was the most natural thing in the world, flourishing both economically and culturally.”
That’s a short runon.

The historical information is copious, plentiful, and potentially quite interesting. The problem is his writing is so awful I can’t focus on the content. Save your money. Don’t buy this book.”

“Semitic Old Testament Jews”

I don’t think there is any mention of Jews in the Old TEstament.

McFaul’s whine in WaPo-my initial impression was that he doth protest too much.

Browder=British businessman, aside from that bland description, McFaul lays a number of crimes at the feet of Putin without a qualification: MH-17, murder of magnetsky, invasion of Ukraine, etc, etc

This guy was an ambassador??? The real question is what was his connection to Browder??

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/putin-wanted-to-interrogate-me-trump-called-it-an-incredible-offer-why/2018/07/26/7bb11552-90d2-11e8-b769-e3fff17f0689_story.html?utm_term=.258748380ca8

Sorry, yes, it is Frank Sheeran, and the title is “I Heard You Paint Houses.”

This is really a fascinating book, with “oral history” by Sheeran, on his military service, working on the docks, gradually becoming involved with the Teamsters, and becoming Hoffa’s most trusted associate—even friend.
At the same time, Brandt provides an in-depth background on Hoffa’s early involvement with the Teamsters and building up of the union, his early ideals—he truly did fight for the working man—and how, in the stew of American politics, things went in the wrong direction. Valuable social and cultural and historical commentary. Furthermore, Sheeran, despite being called a sociopath by some Amazon reviewers (and I don’t really quibble, just saying), is a sympathetic character who perfectly understood the “rules” of the world he ended up inhabiting—once you are in it, you cannot leave, except feet first—but only partially grasped how they linked to the rest of the corrupt American scene. As for “sociopaths,” let’s not sling that term around without including all of the sociopaths who inhabit the American “elites.”

Regarding the movie supposedly being made of this book, I don’t expect it to tell the whole story, but Scorsese may surprise.

Read this book! It is a great read! You will learn a hell of a lot.

Thank you for the previous reply to “Henry’s Cat”. I hope in this lifetime to look at the film on Magnitsky etc.

As to the broader questions I thoroughly recommend a very big book which seems to have been given to me in late 2017 shortly after publication and which I am now into starting with the first and last chapters. It is Simon Shama’s “Belonging: The Story of the Jews 1492 to 1900”. I hope Ron starts on the last chapter and notes how Theodor Herzl had the same surprises as Ron recently over what he found had already been written.

Dear Skeptical,

Thank you for informing me of the Charles Brandt book about Frank The Irishman Sheeran,”I Heard You Paint Houses”. I never knew of it ; I see the author updated it in 2016 with an added fifty-seven pages which supposedly closes the Jimmy Hoffa Case.

For your knowledge and everyone else in this most interesting thread the second edition published just this month of Mister Alex Krainer’s book is now available and hasn’t been banned as of to-day. I received my copy yesterday. It has a different title and if you prefer a book to reading off of the computer do acquire it. Its available by way of only one of thirty-five book sites representing book stores,Amazon Books : https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a1_t1_1&qi=YE9IeTE9D867YC2H2pqI,mpfJOM_1497963026_1:1:1&bq=author%3Dalex%2520krainer%26title%3Dgrand%2520deception%2520the%2520truth%2520about%2520bill%2520browder%252C%2520the%2520magnitsky%2520act%2520and%2520anti-russian%2520sanctions

In addition, there are Jews from the former USSR which constitute about 20% of the Israeli Jewish population. As you probably recall there is was a majority Jewish republic in the far east of the USSR. I doubt that many of these Jews are Semites.

Interesting that the Zionist Jews are mostly Ashkenazim and not only are anti-Semitic against the Palestinian Muslims and Christians but are also discriminating against the Ultra-Orthodox Semitic Jews. Furthermore, the Zionist Jews are facing daily protests against their rule from Semitic Jews, Christians and Muslims who are actually citizens of the state of Israel.

Anti-Semitic Zionists also do not recognize the Syrian citizenship of the Druze living in the occupied Golan Heights. The refuse to take Israeli citizenship and use a Israeli laissez-passer to travel outside of Israel with the citizenship box left empty.

Likewise the Zionist anti-Semites suppress three million Semites living in the open air concentration camp and have killed and wounded some 10,000 as collective punishment with the approval of the West (including Australia).

As one recent commentator pointed out there is a “Big difference between Semitic Old Testament Jews and ash-can-Nazi, Babylonian, Satanist, Talmudic, criminal Zionist Joos!”

Here is the full film:

The Magnitsky Act: Behind The Scenes (FULL / In English)
https://www.real.video/5811804296001

If you refer to the ancient Canaanites, Philistines etc as genetically Semite and therefore authentic then my understanding is that Israeli Jews, apart from Falasha would mostly qualify except for the now minority of Ashkenazim who are on average about half European. Presumably most Palestinians would be genetically Semitic without much admixture.

please look up the definition of Semites. You will find that most Jews in Israel are not Semites. Furthermore, most anti-Semites in Israel are actually Zionist Jews.

Yes, the tribe made it sure that as many people suffer because of the scoundrel (and perhaps murderer) as possible. See the fraud-based Magnitsky Act.
Bill Browder’ Jewish grandma, Raissa Berkman, was an agent for the KGB. Beautiful. http://spartacus-educational.com/USAbrowder.htm

Actually, “Magnitsky was an auditor at the Moscow law firm Firestone Duncan, working for its owner, Jamison Firestone. He represented the investment advisory firm Hermitage Capital Management.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Magnitsky

Bill Browder has been using the dead man to advance his agenda and to save the ill-gotten fortune.

What are you saying, is Russia de-loused?

I expect Prouty is correct.
In the case of the JFK hit, per Frank Sheehan, “I Hear You Paint Houses,” he delivered weapons (not to Dallas directly) that ended up being used in Dallas.
So, many of of the cogs are ordered to do X and htey do it, and they have no idea how it all fits together.

Dear Mister/Miss Robin G.,

If you are wondering if I received a REPLY from you referring me to COMMENT 172 by”Not sure the reply function is working.” it did function. Thank you for the Torstein electronic mail address by way of Geokat’s COMMENT. The following is a PASTE from an electronic mail message REPLY to me from a friend in the know whom I can’t reveal all of his name but just John,which I believe you shall find interesting :

Browder could be CIA or Mossad or NSA or Naval Intel or something we don’t even know or a combination of all of the above. Or, just a no-good slimy person.

Plus, Fletcher Prouty said that many times people are working for intelligence and don’t even know it. Entire military units are under CIA command and don’t know it.

God Bless,

Bill browder got the powder,the rest of you got the puff

Comment #172 is meant for The Vortex.

Not sure the reply function is working.

Good Question. You are onto something. Meanwhile, there’s big discussion with many useful links under Giraldi’s Is Bill Browder the Most Dangerous Man in the World?

Also, this comment by Geokat. (I think Torstein is one of the makers. He might know about getting a dvd. Let us know what you find out.)

If Unzers are unable to access the film, The Magnitzky Act: Behind The scenes, there is a fallback position:

All you have to do is send email to this address [email protected] requesting a personalized link and you will be provided with an email response that includes a link to the Vimeo movie. When you click on the link it will ask you for a password. You will have to provide a mobile phone number (incl. country code) for delivery of your password by SMS / Signal / Telegram / WhatsApp. All this information will be provided in the email response you receive.

I realize there is a bit of effort involved in procuring the film, but if you are interested in this story and how Cold War 2.0 was kicked off, it is well worth the effort.

Mr. Nekrasov’s documentary makes it crystal clear Browder has duped the fawning US Congress. Browder is both a liar and, more importantly, a murderer. It seems everyone who was involved with hiding his assets for him have died. How convenient for Mr. Browder in that they cannot testify against him. Magnitsky, as it turns out, was never a “brilliant lawyer” hired to look into lost taxes paid, but instead was a long-time accountant for Browder’s Hermitage Fund. Browder has used his death as a way to exonerate him from paying taxes owed to the Russian government. Browder should spend the rest of his life in a Russian prison, not be hailed as a human rights hero.

Wow, these links are being disabled as soon as they appear.
I hope Nekrasov’s film can be archived somewhere where it can’t be disabled.

Dear Mister/Miss Robin G.,

Thank you for your REPLY which directed me to the excellent investigative reporting film by Mister Andrei Nekrasov,”The Magnitsky Act-Behind The Scenes”. That such a simple but profound film should cause fear and trepidation and that Mister William Felix Browder can wield such power to prevent the British Parliament from viewing it and others of Europe and sabotage the screening of it in the United States just goes to show that we aren’t as free as we think. Up to a point one has liberty, but beware, open up a Pandora’s Box and then one mysteriously passes away. It is necessary to cross every T and dot every i when involved in these investigations. And this isn’t paranoia on my part. There are many who are a part of the realm of Powers and Principalities who are laden with terror. We give them great fright ,we, who only want the truth and the eradication of their evil deeds that cause suffering of all kinds including the insanity of war.

Once again thank you. I’ve two questions that perhaps you or another might be able to answer : Can one obtain a digital video disk of this film and where might one contact its director Mister Nekrasov?

God Bless,
The Vortex

Browder’s lies are backed by the Deep State, and that’s more than just the government. BUT, that’s why it’s so important to expose Browder. Make the Senators who have supported him answer the question:
Have you or your staff researched Browder’s 2015 deposition in the U.S. vs. Prevezon Holdings case?

*What’s the right answer? Yes, and you’re backing a fraud with no evidence. No, and you’re not doing your job. But maybe better not to say that until later. 🙂

I jsut tried the link and it doesn’t work now!
But another link was provided by RobinG in the Shamir thread; It is in comment 134. There isn’t a URL, but you can play it directly from the comment. I just tried it.

Re “the Norwegian film institute made the film, so a copy should be available from them

https://www.nfi.no/eng/film?name=the-magnitsky-act—behind-the-scenes&id=202”

The trailer is no longer available at this site.
But I am glad to know who backed the making of the film.
I was curious about that. Its production values are good, so it must have had a decent budget.

Someone who knows how to do it, has got to put the Andrei Nekrasov everywhere. Unbelievable. Congress is useless. Browder’s lies are in accord with what the US wants to do. He is protected. No doubt about it.

He is putting everyone’s lives in jeopardy with his stupid lies. These lies have to be supported by our own government or they would have conducted a true investigation into his testimony.

the Norwegian film institute made the film, so a copy should be available from them

https://www.nfi.no/eng/film?name=the-magnitsky-act—behind-the-scenes&id=202

various film festivals have showed it the latest in Tucuman, Argentina this year

You are correct. I am mistaken. He died in a fire at his home in Monaco under mysterious circumstances. His “nurse” who was a Green Beret was supposed to have done it.

Good grief. Browder is an inveterate liar

The author is great, nothing short of it. Very comprehensive article. Really good.

But isn’t it true that a Congress should not pass legislation solely on the strength of the testimony of someone convicted of a crime by this country or any other country. Would any jurors do what Congress has done? All Congress had to do is scratch the surface of this testimony to see that it was stinky. Obviously, they did not look. They simply voted. Not only is the Executive Branch usurping all the powers of Congress, Congress has also surrendered all its powers, as well as duties. It fills me with disgust. What is wrong with these people.

Agreed!

Since the documentary of bitchute has now been taken down, one can still find this documentary on vimeo:

‘THE MAGNITSKY ACT – BEHIND THE SCENES’

https://vimeo.com/281295276

MY GOD!!! ALL CONGRESS HAD TO DO WAS LOOK. I’M COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH OUR CONGRESS. THEY ARE CORRUPT AND USELESS.

There’s some inconsistency. Skeptikal’s link just worked for me…

It just worked for me, too.

I think debunking the vulture capitalist Bill Browder’s false claim of being, of all things, a human rights advocate is the key to unraveling the Russia-gate hoax. I also think the following information goes a long way in doing that:

1. Nekrasov’s documentary, The Magnitsky Act: Behind The Scenes, now available for viewing

2. Alex Krainer’s The Killing of William Browder, now available online; and

3. Bill Browder’s Previzon deposition in which he claims “I can’t remember” at least 50 times and answers “I don’t know” fully 211 times.

Notwithstanding these facts, it appears Mr. Browder is an untouchable. The Russians have issued a Red Notice at least six times and he has managed to walk away scot free on each occasion.

The zinger was when the Senate Judiciary Committee invited him to testify as an expert witness against Fusion GPS, arguing that it should have registered under FARA because it was working on behalf of a foreign government, in this case the Russian. The irony of this scene was incredible. The hallowed chamber in which this inquiry took place is completely bought and paid for by The Lobby but not a peep about having it register under FARA. Totally surreal!

Sorry, the links at #169 didn’t copy.

There’s some inconsistency. Skeptikal’s link just worked for me, but when I tried to share it in a YouTube comment, it did not. (Is there a way Youtube can squash it? After all, they’ve barred it being posted there.)

Thank you, Geo, for persisting. You seem to be one of the few who really grasp how significant the Browder story is, it’s relation to the Trump Tower meeting, Russia! Russia! and the whole [ongoing] coup against Trump. Please keep up the pressure. It was revealing how people are siloed even within the Unz readership, not noticing multiple postings of the film.

One thing the film didn’t do is speak to the importance in the US of Browder’s lies. Here is the question to ask US Senators [who voted to NOT allow Russians to interrogate Browder] ….
Did they see Browder’s 2015 deposition? Hint: doesn’t make Bill look good.

Bill Browder’s 2015 Deposition
This sworn deposition contradicts many aspects of Browder’s narrative.
Here are links to the six-part series of video recordings of this deposition: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.

The zionized, corrupted, and cynical western governments are busy with saving and resettling “our jihadists” (White Helmets), whereas Assange has been hiding in the inhospitable Ecuadorian embassy.
The Jewish State took efforts to save the head-choppers, while the same Friends of Israel in the UK/US cannot wait to finish with Assange.

Browder is a face of the rotten empire of the rotten CIA, FBI, M16, and MOSSAD.

Thanks for the link. I tried it, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. For this reason and for the fact that it may only be available for a limited time, I decided to provide a fallback position.

For some counterbalance to Browder’s Red Notice, see Alex Krainen’s The Killing of William Browder, available online here: https://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/TheKillingOfWilliamBrowder_PrintLayout_6x9-1.pdf

There is a link to the film at another Unz thread.
In fact, there are two possibilities.
Here is one:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/lQ3qEwX66pIL/

Have you seen the film?
Have you read Alex Krainer’s “The Killing of William Browder”?
Having viewed the film and read the book, I have no doubt whatsoever that Browder is a lying son of a bitch who probably arranged to have magnitsky killed himself.

In fact, I am somewhat surprised that Giraldi here is so tepid in his equation of Nekrasov with Browder in terms of believability. Did he notice the scene, captured on video, where Browder realizes that he has been busted by the nice guy making a film about the poor “whistleblower” Magnitsy and totally loses it and basically flees the scene, but not before threatening Nekrasov with consequences if he fails to portray Magnitsky as the whistleblower that Browder says he is?
And, Phil, who is going to investigate Nekrasov? Or Browder? I mean, Nekrasov speaks/reads English/Russian/German. There is also the interview with (the real) Karpov. Nekrasov is, actually, very well placed to conduct the investigation that he did. That is, he has the requisite skill set. The languages plus the ability to catch Browder out on film, owing to Nekrasov’s skills as a documentarian.

And why the constant harping on the KGB meme?

George Bush Senior was CIA from the get-go.
Read Russ Baker’s “Family of Secrets.”

I think he also has relevant chapters on this at this site, WhoWhatWhy.

Absolutely.
I re-watched that section where he threatens Nekrasov.
Because, after Browder stood up, he was partly blocking the camera view and it was a bit unclear.

So, who are Browder’s enforcers? Who can ensure that Krainer’s book and Nekrasov’s film are “disappeared”? That screenings of the film are suddenly canceled?
Is there any way to approach this legally? For instance, who canceled the showing of the film in NYC? Can that be established? Was someone threatened in the same vein the Browder threatens Nekrasov?
After showing, in the docudrama segments of the film, the unpleasant deaths of the three guys who (I think) were the recipients of Browder’s company’s assets, I do hope that Nekrasov is watching hiw own back.

Browder has reinvented himself as an advocate for “human rights” in Russia. So, in our upside-down world, Putin in a thug, Russia is a kleptocracy, and Browder is a “human rights advocate.” What a sick joke. the soon this guy and his story can be blown, the better.

Maybe we can “exchange” Browder for Assange. Browder gets to stay here in the West, and Assange is transferred to Russia.

Absolutely.

At 1 hour and 18 minutes into the film Nekrasov confronts Browder with the evidence against him. He doesn’t do it overtly, that is, straight on, as in j’accuse, but rather acts kind of coy, asking his questions about the “problems” of fact that he has discovered. Asking his questions as if he were confused, and hoped Mr. Browder could provide some clarification.

Mr. Browder figures out straightaway that he’s been busted. A realization that is easy for him, since he has had perfect consciousness of his guilt from the moment he began planning the crime. Now we see him awakening abruptly to the realization that the man he hired to make the cover-up film has discovered the truth that the film was meant to conceal.

Look at his face, see the tension there. Listen to his voice crack — at 1:22:30 — as his throat locks up and his mouth gets dry. Then for the next 26 seconds Browder offers a straight-up lie, that the original registration documents are necessary to re-register the companies. He then watches, to see if Nekrasov buys it, and then… seeing that Nekrasov doesn’t buy it — he gulps visibly under the tension — understanding in that moment that he’s been busted. It’s an amazing moment caught on video. It’s not a stretch to conclude that you are watching a man see his life pass in front of his eyes. And then finally we watch as Browder stands and threatens Nekrasov with reputational destruction.
At 1:23:45, Browder says — threatens actually — “I’d be really careful about going out and trying to do a whole thing about Sergie not being a whistleblower, it’s not gonna do well for your credibility in the show.”

I love that he calls it “a show”.

Powerful stuff

‘No freedom of speech for his enemies!’

Quelle suprise

‘His hacks re-wrote his Wikipedia entry’

That’s dedication

‘More to a point, Browder is the man who contributed most to the new cold war between the West and Russia’

Yes you really do read it correct we are going to war so some tax dodging Jew s*yst*r can recover his ill gotten gains

‘Browder, a grandson of the US Communist leader’

You just couldn’t make it up could you? If it was in a Tom Wolfe novel it would be deemed over the top

‘came to Russia at its weakest point after the Soviet collapse, and grabbed an enormous fortune by opaque financial transactions’

Him and countless others of his kind

‘As you’d expect, huge tax evasion was discovered. Browder thought that as long as he sucked up to Putin, he’d get away with bloody murder, let alone tax evasion’

Along came a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph…

‘Foreigners had to pay much more. Browder bought many such shares via Russian frontmen, and he was close to getting control over Russian oil and gas. Putin suspected that he had acted in the interests of big foreign oil companies, trying to repeat the feat of Mr Khodorkovsky’

Who’s shares in Yukos reverted to Jacob Rothschild FYI

‘His second mistake was being too greedy. Russian taxation is very low; but Browder did not want to pay even this low tax’

No comment

‘Mr Browder does not deny these accusations; he says there is nothing criminal in trying to avoid taxes’

Well that’s alright then

‘For this reason alone, Browder can be counted as a part of the power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good’

And for other ethnic reasons of course.

‘Nobody listened to them, until they demanded that Browder testify under oath. He refused.’

Mala fides anyone?

‘The New Republic wondered: if Browder was indeed the victim of persecution in Russia and had enlisted the U.S. justice system to right the balance, why was he so reluctant to offer his sworn testimony in an American courtroom?’

You know when you are a Jewish financial criminal and even The New Republic is against you you may have gone too far…

‘It turned out Browder tried to bribe the journalist who made the interview to have these words expunged’

Well I never. But Jews never conspire to tell everyone what to think…that’s just crazy tawk

‘This is probably a uniquely Jewish quality: Jews outspend everybody in contributions to political figures’

Yup

‘Much bigger sums were transferred via good services of Brothers Ziff, mega-rich Jewish American businessmen’

Didn’t I see this on an episode of the Simpsons?

‘Almost all involved figures appear to be Jewish, not only Browder’

Stereotype threat

‘Even his enemy, the beneficiary of the scam that (according to Browder) took over his Russian assets is another Jewish businessman Dennis Katsiv’

You just couldn’t make it up could you?

‘Maxwell stole a few million dollars from his company pension fund before dying in mysterious circumstances on board of his yacht in the Atlantic’

He stole hundreds of millions after breaking the back of the print unions and then stealing the pensions of the workers who remained. Amongst other things he used the money to float Mossad and bankroll the victory parade after the first gulf war. His children and wife were never required to make restitution even though they received considerable inheritances.

‘He was given a code name Solomon, as he worked for Salomon Brothers’

Jesus wept where’s Evelyn Waugh when you need him

These people are walking caricatures aren’t they? We are basically beyond parody now aren’t we?

Thank you, Robin. I feel a little bit foolish because I posted a comment — number 153 — wondering why the Browder video wasn’t available online. Then I come to discover, immediately after clicking the “publish this comment” button, that you had in fact put it up online. Right on this website, right in this comment stream. Kudos to you, brother.

Now, you could do the internet world a favor, by mounting it up as a BitTorrent, then we won’t have to worry about anyone being able to take it down.

Also, I’d like to know how to download the video as a file to my computer. Could you throw me a link in your reply, pointing to a way to do that?

Again, “YOU THE MAN!“

I’m posting this comment as a reply to the very first comment to this piece because, if I posted it as an independent comment it would ***only*** appear as comment number 153, and thus less likely to be noticed than a reply to the very first comment to the original publication, which first appeared in June of 2016.

I find it astonishing — okay, maybe just surprising — that Browder has succeeded in suppressing the documentary made by Nekrasov. A single copy of that video documentary, converted to digital form and mounted on the internet would be unstoppable.

I get all my video media by downloading from BitTorrent sites. Once something is loaded in BitTorrent form, it’s on the internet forever. While it is not impossible to attack a BitTorrent distribution, it is nevertheless very difficult — nearly impossible — to succeed in expunging anything mounted on this distributed file-sharing vehicle. This distributed application file-sharing vehicle — which by the way is what enables the newly emerging and unstoppable cryptocurrency phenomenon — stores its files, chopped into little pieces, on thousands of personal computers distributed across the planet. Taking anything down that is mounted on the internet in this way is impossible short of shutting down the entire internet. Not gonna happen.

Now mounting the Browder video on the BitTorrent system does not provide a mechanism for compensating the owner/creator of the video. That said, if it is done in the public interest, there is nothing stopping someone from creating a crowdfunding effort to pay the author and the distributor for their efforts.

So, if anyone can offer a reason why this video is not yet available free and online, I’d like to hear it, because it puzzles me that it hasn’t yet happened.

Is it possible that the NYT and Washington Post are scrubbing its own stories on this film?
The link in the main article about the film screening in Washington seems to have disappeared.
there was an earlier version linking a Washington Post article on June 13, 2016, also now unavailable

Feedback: This video is really boring.
I stopped watching at k:02, when he (name of this guy?) metnioned his plan to take a nap the next day.
I hope the film is more concentrated and focused than this video.
Please, stop saying, ‘Did you know that??”
Annoying, and a waste of valuable time.
And, why expose his ignorance?
Most people do know, for example, that Buda and Pest are two cities.
So, don’t belabor the point and show up your own ignorance.
Get to the point.
People who are devoting their energy to understanding stories such as teh machinations of Browder do not have time to waste on someone verbally “drifting” on video.

“Ron Unz (pbuh) should put that film up on the front page of the site.”

Agree totally.
When the subject of Browder and the Nekrasov film first came up (AFAIK) at Consortium News, there was a great deal of comment as to how many people want to see the film. Of course they do!!
Furthermore and BTW, I think making it available might bring a whole new group of people to the UR site.

Here is one of the more recent Consortium News pieces on Browder and the suppression of the film—actually, this piece was reposted just today:

The documentary film by Andrei Nekrasov is available at the link below:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/lQ3qEwX66pIL/

Two hours long, but it completely disposes of the Magnitsky/ Russiagate fabrication. The top level Jewish thieves who were looting Russia (Khodorkovsky, Berezovsky etc.) were chased out of Russia by Putin and they hate him for it.

It would not surprise me at all to learn that both of these phrases were cooked up in some corner of Langley to use to get control of the media.

They were, if not invented from whole cloth, then put to good use anyway.

In Germany, where there was no tradition of tinfoil hats, some years ago aluminium hats (Aluhüte) made their appearance, and guess which corner started the usage?

Funny, I heard (((Big Media’s))) glowing take on Browder the other day and figured he must be a piece of shit. I don’t base conclusions on such hunches, of course, so I guess I’ll have to read the article and check around.

RobinG posted the original Nekrasov film (2 hours essential viewing) on the Browder/Magnitsky story. Nekrasov is a lefty counter-cultural type who had what Shamir calls a “Road to Damascus moment” (after checking the original Russian documents + some interviews).

https://www.bitchute.com/video/lQ3qEwX66pIL/

I just watched the film. Amazing stuff. The video of Browder being cross-examined needs to go viral asap. “I don’t know … I can’t remember … I’m not sure … I didn’t do the tracing … I don’t know … I can”t remember …”. And then there’s the Homeland Security doofus who just took Browder’s word for everything and didn’t verify a thing. Reminded me of the SEC and Bernie Madoff. Ron Unz (pbuh) should put that film up on the front page of the site.

“Safra was shot and killed while in his 5 star hotel room in Paris.”

Where did you get that? It’s known that he died in a fire in Monaco. But that’s irrelevant. The important thing is BILL BROWDER, and right now, not decades ago. Struck with the fear of being questioned by Russians, Browder is hysterically doing all the talk shows, where he’s given license to cement his lies in the American consciousness.

What you [not you personally, but the collective “you”] have to appreciate is that Browder is a strategic pressure point. Expose his lies, and Russiagate unravels. He’s on record lying, including his deposition under oath. He’s on record contradicting himself. See #Browdergate

Quick message about STAYING FOCUSED on #Browdergate

“See why Browder is ‘protected’with such fervor?”

No, not really.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this.
I watched the whole thing. Kept me up until way past my bedtime!
Fascinating. I didn’t know what to expect, although I had read some comments regarding the “docudrama” within the documentary. I seem to recall some comments to the effect that this aspect of the film was confusing. I didn’t find it confusing at all. In fact, I found it very ooriginal and creative, and it also hehped show Nekrasov’s intellectual and creative evolution, as he (reluctantly) assumed the role of investigative reporter. It is also a good way to keep Browder’s story before the viewer, for comparison. Nekrasov brought his and his team’s formidable skills to bear in setting up both the docudrama and the documentary aspects of the film. Also in laying bare for the viewer his thinking process as he progresses further down the rabbit hole of Browder’s machinations and fabrications. Surely a Russian-speaking inquisitive documentarian was the last thing Browder would have wanted to deal with. But maybe it is a token of Browder’s hubris to think that he could get away with fooling a Russian film maker—one who would be able to read the original documents and compare them to Browder’s narrative. Browder certainly underestimated Nekrasov.

It bothers me that Nekrasov is an avowed Putin opponent. But he seems to be that rarity, a man of honor and truth seeking—wherever it leads. Not sure where it led in the case of Litvinenko, and I certainly would like to see that film.

I wish that Ron Unz would archive both this film and also Alex Krainer’s book “The Killing of William Browder” (not the best title, IMHO) at this site. Perhaps he can purchase the rights to the book.

I am kind of surprised that there are no other reader comments on this film.

What a typo! Could it be possible for B. Madoff and R. Maddow to be relatives?

See comment #134 in this thread ………

THE MAGNITSKY ACT – BEHIND THE SCENES

Grandmother.

Earl is his grandfather. His father was a math professor.

Safra died in his home in Monaco, suffocated by the fumes of a fire. You should have simply consult the Wikipedia to learn what was well-known since 1999.

“In 1996 Safra was co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management which became one of the most important investment companies in Russia and later became famous in connection with the Sergei Magnitsky affair”.

What the money laundered from Russia was used for?

“Committed to his Jewish faith, he believed that constructing and renovating synagogues was important in places where there was a potential for a Jewish community to flourish, and synagogues around the world bearing his father’s name testify to this commitment. Many of these were built in the world’s major Jewish centers, but he also helped to build synagogues in more remote communities such as Manila and Kinshasa.
500 years after the last synagogue was built in Madrid he constructed a new one. He also helped to renovate and enlarge synagogues in Amsterdam, Istanbul, Naples, Budapest, Rhodes, and Vienna. He saved the oldest synagogue in France, in Clermont-Ferrand, from destruction by buying it for the community, and he contributed to the expansion of the Cannes synagogue and Synagogue Beth El in Paris. He also helped refurbish synagogues in many small French cities including Evian, Annemasse, and others. Among the synagogues is the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue in New York City.
In addition to supporting a number of synagogues in Israel, the tombs of Rabbi Meir Baal Haness and Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai (2nd century CE) were especially important to him, and he was a generous supporter of these pilgrimage sites. For many years on Shavuot eve, the anniversary of his father’s death, he would pray at the tomb of Rabbi Meir until dawn”.

See why Browder is ‘protected’with such fervor?

Dear Mister Shamir,

Thank. an excellent article. I wish I could find the film “The Magnitsky Act- Behind The Scenes.”

I strongly suggest that if one wishes to understand the historical background of such an oligarchical financial elite and the why a United States Senator John McCain would be a jurisprudential catalyst for the Magnitsky Act and anti-President Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin propaganda,as well as anti-President Donald John Trump I can not highly recommend enough the following important work from 2008 which was originally intended as a warning against Federal Senator McCain’s presidential run as well as United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama :

“Guilt By Association : How Deception And Self Deceit Took America To War” by Attorney-At-Law Jeff Gates. Herein the author explains to us the closed economic system created by the oligarch mobsters aided and abetted by President Boris Yeltsin but not only its precedents begininng with the supply side economics of President Ronald Reagan creating the system that saved the banks and others of high finance during the 2008-2009 financial depression and it foresees why President Trump would be against the North American Free Trade Agreement of President Bill Clinton which instead of helping Mexicans just impoverished towns and villages causing the thousands of migrants to North America and creating the same oligarchization in Mexico as in Russia. Also the true organized crime historical origins,and let me tell you,the majority certainly do not have Italian family names as Hollywood and popular culture would have you believe.

God Bless,
The Vortex

Not to mention, a man [BROWDER] who relinquished his US citizenship to avoid taxes…

Here’s a thought. Now that he’s a Brit, did he have a hand in framing Russia for the Skripal poisoning?

Teaching Americans about Browder. Here’s our chance to rip open the MATRIX now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NsRSiXUV9Q&feature=youtu.be
THIS is the Man Putin Said Gave Hillary Money

Good, good, good. This SOB has got to be exposed. Without knowing anything about Browder, any thinking person would know that no responsible congress would pass such a law on the testimony of a man convicted of tax fraud by another country. The whole thing stunk from the beginning.

This is the best article I have read on this subject. It is incredibly good. I’m sending it everywhere

Thank God someone is finally writing a story on this OBVIOUS crook. He’s a protected crook.

He got his “seed” money to go into Russia from Edmond Safra. Safra is a banker and was rumored to have laundered the drug running money during the Iran Contra scandal. Safra was shot and killed while in his 5 star hotel room in Paris. No one ever prosecuted. This Browder is stinky, stinky, stinky, but probably working for the security agencies.

The documentary film by Andrei Nekrasov is available at the link below:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/lQ3qEwX66pIL/

Intelligence agencies would be interested in getting agents of influence into the top reaches of Russian business, not looting a company for a quick cash profit. I don’t think an intelligence agency would have overreached itself the way Browder did, he simply behaved as a Western trickster who overstepped a mark that Russians, Jewish or not, would know better than to cross. He thought being American would protect him in his schemes, it actually made him more vulnerable.

Watch and share this before it’s taken down:

The Real BILL BROWDER Story…
…the film by Andrei Nekrasov

THE MAGNITSKY ACT – BEHIND THE SCENES
(about 2 hours long)

The mega Jew was Edmond Safra. His death had a relation with the money-laundering of hundreds of millions of dollars of international aid to Russia through the Bank of New York.

He is just the tip of a pile of shit that may soon face the cleaners.

Criminal organizations often work with intelligence agencies. The Browder Affair is an example of this type of collusion. The documentary has been banned by Jewish oligarch’s control of media, Jewish ownership of politicians, and Jewish control of government bureaucracies.

THE MAGNITSKY ACT – BEHIND THE SCENES

https://www.bitchute.com/video/lQ3qEwX66pIL/

He did and he didn’t. He is a businessman who deliberately went bankrupt in order to avoid meeting his financial obligations and paying tax in Russia . Lots of businessmen do that, including Donald Trump. But Trump would not have been allowed to take over Boeing or General Dynamic by such means. Ways would have been found to stop him. Browder was trying to prey on a strategically important Russian company, so he was stopped. That is what governments are for. Browder gave up his US citizenship to avoid paying tax in the US, so he is not exactly a man of principle. As for the death of his accountant, well people playing for high stakes must expect to pay for miscalculation.

He is brazenly open however about his methods of looting the Russian economy though. It’s weirdly unselfaware: ‘This is how I got some funding from an extremely dodgy mega-Jew who died mysteriously in a fire in Monaco and I then went to Moscow and stole all these state assets because I am a genius.’

But he did nothing wrong.

That is true but if you are arrested for drug dealing and you say that there are worse drug dealers that you but they are never arrested because they are police informers then that does not get you out of it does it? Everyone knew what the law was, and how it was enforced.

Khodorkovsky’s organisation was responsible for several murders, and he must have known what was going on. These killings including a married couple who were ex-employee of Khodorkovsky, someone who sued Khodorkovsky for a lot of money had his chauffeur killed by a booby trap bomb in his limo, a woman who refused to sell them a building was shot dead and a Moscow female official had an attempt made on her life after she caused trouble for Khodorkovsky. Most notoriously the mayor of a town where Khodorkovsky had acquired exposure to back taxes started camping outside the Khodorkovsky company office to embarrass them. He was shot dead one month later.

Browder was more subtle but according to Wikipedia “Magnitsky was a Russian tax accountant who specialized in anti-corruption activities. “. Most tax accountants I know of specialise in tax avoidance and dabble in the legal gray area around criminal tax evasion. In Russia you must bribe the receptionist to get an appointment with the doctor, and I don’t suppose in prison the doctors are very good even by the relaxed standards of Russian medical practice.

Is this a conspiracy theory of yours posited as fact?

Browder’s book has detailed emotionally loaded descriptions of scenes he can never have witnessed. That is the most unsettling thing about the book. One feels one was not told everything and one was manipulated.

Thanks for ppsting this. I am heartened that so many know some of this background.
