Russia Slams US Spy Agencies’ Control Over Banks While Warning American “Snowflakes” Melting Will Raise Ocean Levels

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A scathingly worded Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating in the Kremlin today slams US spy agencies for their gross violation of international banking regulations by their releasing confidential Russian banking records for the sole purpose of using them as propaganda against President Donald Trump—while at the same time, MoFA analysts are issuing their first ever “Snowflake Alert” warning that the melting of American minds over Russia’s just enacted foreign media registration law could very well cause the oceans to rise, thus endangering all of humanity. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

According to this report, Russia, along with nearly every other nation in the world, is a member of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) that provides a network that enables financial institutions worldwide to send and receive information about financial transactions in a secure, standardized and reliable environment—and under whose polices documented, and agreed to by members, in their KYC Registry Privacy Policy and Personal Data Protection Policy agreements, guarantees the absolute confidentiality of all banking transactions—otherwise the entire global banking system would collapse.

If the confidentiality of SWIFT banking transactions were ever violated, this report explains, global chaos would ensue as individuals, corporations and nations would be left vulnerable to having their most private and secure monetary transactions be used for nefarious, and illegal, purposes—such as foreknowledge of corporate acquisitions being made whose foreknowledge of could destroy stock markets, and international trade deals (large purchases of aircraft, farm equipment, weapons systems, etc.) between countries whose foreknowledge of could be used to target legitimate government structures and/or political entities. [E.g. India’s purchasing of Airbus aircraft, if known beforehand, could trigger US actions forcing them to buy American Boeing aircraft.]

So it was with “absolute shock and horror” this past week, this report details, when the MoFA learned that US spy agencies had released confidential SWIFT transaction records showing that Russian embassies in nearly 60 countries, including Washington, D.C., Afghanistan and Nigeria, all received election money last year transferred via Citibank—and that paid for Russian citizens living abroad to be able to vote in the legislative elections that were held in Russia, on 18 September 2016, where at stake were the 450 seats in the State Duma.

The only purpose behind these US spy agencies releasing this confidential SWIFT transaction information, this report explains, was so they could generate an anti-Trump propaganda story in the leftist BuzzFeed publication proclaiming “proof Russia sent money to US for election”—and that MoFA spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed by stating:

We’ve taken note of the BuzzFeed news item alleging Russia was sponsoring the US election through its Foreign Ministry, and it is nakedly clear that those behind this stuff were hoping to sell to their audience a distorted picture in order to prolong the myth about a Russian influence on the election campaign in the United States.

We are extremely indignant US special services disclosed to the media information about banking transactions addressed to Russian diplomatic offices, and not only those in the United States, but around the world. 

The publication of information about financial transactions testifies to a crude violation of bank secrecy and the immunity of the Russian embassy’s bank accounts.

Also, this graphically shows that US banks operate under the full control of US secret services, and it is a colossal blow against the image of Citibank.

We regard such actions, including reports the FBI is investigating transfers to our embassy as another attempt at putting pressure on Russian offices in the United States.

Once again we demand the US authorities should stop playing such games and get back to normal and responsible diplomatic contacts.

Rather than “get back to normal”, though, this report continues, the Americans followed their SWIFT atrocity by becoming “melting snowflakes” after the State Duma passed a law requiring media companies that are financed by foreign governments to register as such—with this new law being a nearly word-for-word translation of The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) United States law, passed in 1938, requiring that agents representing the interests of foreign powers in a "political or quasi-political capacity" disclose their relationship with the foreign government and information about related activities and finances.

The American “snowflake” reaction to Russia now having their own FARA law, this report notes, was predictable and hyperbolic as usual—and as exampled by the US based Amnesty International breathlessly proclaiming: “The Russian authorities will tighten their stranglehold on press freedom in the country today by introducing a bill that designates foreign-funded news organizations as “foreign agents” and imposes onerous obligations to declare full details of their funding, finances and staffing.”

Failing to be mentioned by any of these American “snowflakes” hyperventilating about Russia’s new FARA law, this report points out, is that neither the State Duma or any Kremlin official, actually wanted it—but who were all forced to respond after the US shockingly used their own FARA law against RT (Russia Today)—which is the international news network funded by the Russian government—and that is exactly like the US government funded Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty international news network.

To why the US forced their FARA law upon RT, this report explains, was due to a laughable Obama regime Director of National Intelligence (DNI) anti-Trump document, published on 6 January 2017, titled “Background to “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution”—and whose half-truth assertions against RT were so childish, even the rabidly anti-Trump leftist Washington Post had to laugh at them in their 12 January 2017 article titled “If Russia Today Is Moscow’s Propaganda Arm, It’s Not Very Good At Its Job”.

Among the many half-truth assertions and outright propaganda lies made against RT in this Obama regime anti-Trump document screed produced by DNI “snowflakes”, this report details, they include:

RT Editor in Chief Margarita Simonyan has close ties to top Russian Government officials, especially Presidential Administration Deputy Chief of Staff Aleksey Gromov, who reportedly manages political TV coverage in Russia and is one of the founders of RT.—but that the DNI failed to note how that was any different from CBS News President David Rhodes having his brother Ben Rhodes be one of President Obama’s top aides, or ABC News President Ben Sherwood having his sister, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, be one of Obama’s top aides, too—and that according to DNI  “snowflake” logic, thus makes both CBS News and ABC News propaganda arms of the US government.

RT runs anti-fracking programming, highlighting environmental issues and the impacts on public health.—but that the DNI failed to note was any different from a gazillion US environmental groups all saying the exact thing—including thousands of Senator Bernie Sanders supporters.

RT is a leading media voice opposing Western intervention in the Syrian conflict and blaming the West for waging “information wars” against the Syrian Government—but that the DNI failed to note is absolutely true—and that US media itself says is true by their noting that disinformation, fake news and propaganda regarding Syria are no longer the province of the CIA, it’s managed by the State Department using staff and contractors.

RT's reports often characterize the United States as a “surveillance state” and allege widespread infringements of civil liberties, police brutality, and drone use.—but that the DNI fails to note is absolutely true as the US has become the largest “surveillance state” the world has ever known, the New York Times has described civil liberties in America as being near death, the UN Committee against Torture, in 2014, condemned the US for it widespread police brutality, and US news agencies themselves are reporting on how the use of drones by police is increasing.

RT has also focused on criticism of the US economic system, US currency policy, alleged Wall Street greed, and the US national debt.—but that the DNI fails to note are all true as the US economic system has produced a situation where the top wealthiest 1% possess 40% of their nation’s wealth while the bottom 80% own just 7%, US currency policy supporting the petrodollar has caused millions of deaths due to war, the US government funded PBS Network itself warns that Wall Street is a culture that breeds greed, and the US has a staggering national debt of over $108 trillion in unfunded liabilities that has placed a crushing burden of over $900,000 owed by every single American man, woman and child. 

RT hosts have compared the United States to Imperial Rome and have predicted that government corruption and “corporate greed” will lead to US financial collapse.—but that the DNI fails to note are comparisons made by US publications, like Salon in their article “8 striking parallels between the U.S. and the Roman Empire”, The Week in their article “America now looks like Rome before the fall of the Republic”, and the American Enterprise Institute in their article “Is America over? To Europe, at least, the US looks like Rome at the height of its power”—to just name a few of hundreds of similar US articles about how corruption and greed will lead to a US financial collapse.

RT aired a documentary about the Occupy Wall Street movement on 1, 2, and 4 November. RT framed the movement as a fight against “the ruling class” and described the current US political system as corrupt and dominated by corporations.—but with the DNI failing to note that is was Princeton University that said this was true—and who in their study of America, concluded that it was no longer a democracy, but an oligarchy dominated by a rich and powerful “ruling class” loyal only to corporate and political power, not the American people.

RT broadcast, hosted, and advertised third-party candidate debates and ran reporting supportive of the political agenda of these candidates.—but with the DNI failing to note how the allowing of every candidate possible to be heard by the American people could in any way whatsoever subvert democracy—and is the exact opposite of what the US does—with the Americans up to their old tricks by funneling money into Hungry in order to, yet again, meddle in another nations elections to get the outcome they want, and the people be damned.

Rather than this Obama regime DNI so-called intelligence document proving anything coming close to propaganda being spread by RT, this report concludes, it, instead, reveals these American elites true motivations—which is, simply, their not wanting the American people to know anything they haven’t approved of first—and whose insane hatred of RT lies in this news network, every day, holding up a mirror so the American people can see the true reflection of how far their once great nation has fallen into spiritual degradation and economic ruin—and that without their being able to see this truth, will keep them from doing something about it like they’re supposed to do—and whom, also, and maybe for the last time, have a leader they can follow in their quest to “Make America Great Again”.
