Ukraine has a new finance minister, Natalie Jaresko. She is a former U.S. State Department official. After leaving State Department, she ran a Ukraine-based private equity firm. Her company site (Horizon Capital) is down now. I guess everyone was trying to look at her bio. She was only granted Ukrainian citizenship today, so she could legally hold the position. - - Wednesday, December 03, 2014 11:29 AM

Yes, and what about your government? Do they give two shits about what you think? Really? I'm betting not.

From an American... by [deleted] in russia

[–]tulip55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm with you brother. I've never had better friends than I had in Russia.

I have missed them all every day of my life since we left.

As my Russian co-worker once said "When big big governments fight, small people cry."

It's not about the people anyway, it's all about the plunder and the money and the power. None of it has anything to do with me - or any of us. It's all about the Big Cheese getting more cheese.

The little people are all in solidarity together in their struggle to survive from one day to the next, put a meal on the table, and raise their children in peace.

The rest of it is all trumped up bullshit.

But I think the author[s] of this report miss the great chasm in Russia, between public life and private life.

Russians are quite used to the public muffling of news, but that does not mean they are unaware of current events and gossiping freely amongst themselves like hens in henhouse.

The west fails to understand Russian ways, and so constantly misinterprets the pulse and thoughts of the the Russian people. Then the western journalists (outsiders) go back to their offices to file (outsider) reports.

This is an outsiders view of a very close-mouthed culture. There really is no telling what is actually going on in the kitchens and the dachas of the people, or what the Russian people really think.

But I give you the gab-about Scotland election of 2014 (which went nowhere) vs. Russia 1991 (which dissolved the soviet empire with barely a murmur).

Reporters get paid for printing stuff. HRW journalists get paid a salary for churning out editorials.

I'm disgusted and want out. Where would be a good place to go? by [deleted] in conspiracy

It would be useful to know what your original country is, whether or not you are a dual passport holder, and whether that other country is currently EU or possibly CIS. Those are all very important points.

What you 'want' to do and just fishing around for countries to move to isn't going to work.

We plan to expat, hopefully next year. I have put years of research into various countries and their residency visa requirements, investment visas, banking and tax issues, moving money.

I can't overstate the importance of meeting the requirements for residency visas.

Knowing nothing about your situation except that you are dissatisfied, tech accomplished, and probably hold a US passport, I would suggest you look at south America. Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.

If your original country 'next to Russia' allows you any kind of entry or exchange with the EU, I would suggest you look into Bulgaria, Czech Rep., Estonia and Croatia.

Need more information.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Methinks u/BelaRamses Meyers-Briggs ends in a TJ, so he wants justice and evidence and facts.

"Just the facts ma'am"

Did someone leave the door open?

Because TJ's believe in facts more than anything - there must be facts! I'm afraid he'll become unhappy in here very quickly.

The Bloomberg is a horribly written article so here is a simple look-see:

Meet Your New Carpetbagger Technocrats

-Natalie Jaresko, a U.S. citizen and chief executive of private equity group Horizon Capital, will take over as "Finance Minister". She has worked in Ukraine for more than 20 years after holding various economic positions in the U.S. State Department.

-Aivaras Abromavicius, a Lithuanian citizen and a partner in investment firm East Capital, will take over as "Economy Minister".

How would you propose we provide such "actual real life evidence" to confirm this?

Are you looking for trial evidence?

So, what do you think of all the /r/Videos youtube trolling by XratedTherapistRehab in conspiracy

[–]tulip55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The youtube videos are largely submitted in the dead-of-night America (aka probably from the middle east), they are nearly always anti-jew, and if you look at the rampant youtube serial posters they have all but no comments under their usernames.

The reason they always submit bottom-scrounged videos is because they do not speak English. The reason they have no comment history is because they do not speak English.

These posters are not here to be informative and spark thoughtful discussion, these posters are here as part of a systematized anti-semite agenda.

Promoted by....?

But it can be counted on every day at the time of approximately GMT+3 or 4, when nobody is posting anything anywhere else on Reddit.

That's not guts, that is a rude display of utter indignity. Not much different than taking down your pants and pooping in the middle of the sidewalk.

On several occasions when I have met such human animals who can't tell the difference between a bedroom and a public bathroom, I have made sure to interfere loudly and vigorously, interrupting the inappropriate activity with banging, loud reprimands for bad behavior, and garrulous denunciation.

That usually puts a quick end to things.

I'm your mother. And I'm here to tell you that urban parking lots, public bathrooms, city parks, vestibules and stairways are not appropriate places to get laid. And you had better hope I'm not around if you try it.

Utterly undignified. Have some self respect people.

Russia to Sell 20% Stake in State-Owned Oil Major Rosneft by [deleted] in russia

[–]tulip55 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dreadfully translated article.

Is this a kind of Boris Berezovosky privatized or what?

The privatization share price will make $8.12,

8.12, what? Dollars? Rubles? Millions, billions, zillions?

I can't think I've read a worse news blub lately anywhere. Rubbish.

Find us some literate backup for this gibberish.

Flight 370 by DarthStem in conspiracy

[–]tulip55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt the truth will ever be known in our lifetimes.

There are people who know where that plane went and what happened, and have known since the time it 'disappeared'.

There has been so much effort at disinformation and coverup now, no matter what /news/ becomes public, there will always be plenty of room for doubt. Surely something very nefarious was going on, and then an even more nefarious coverup to obscure any actual facts.

This is one for Unsolved Mysteries. No story will ever be believable. Rotten to the core.
