I agree, the Russians want to reduce the drug business going through the region as a lot of it ends up in Russia and does a lot of damage there. It’s not just the drugs, it’s also a way to infiltrate covert operatives, something else Russia has been having severe problems with.

Bhadrakumar has a new piece out you might find interesting. He talks about u.s./drug mafia support being behind the Kyrgyz rebellion. Claims the Russian media/guv is promoting this theory.

A Russian-Uzbek challenge to the US By M K Bhadrakumar

“And presuming the worse, what about safety of Nuclear Weapons in the US arsenal?”

There was that incident of the missing 6th bomb a couple of years ago in the usa. There was quite a shake-up reported after that, and a few mysterious deaths of military personnel that fell under the radar. Whatever that was about still remains a mystery, but something serious went down. In the UK, there was litvinenko & co. playing po-210 smugglers, with full knowledge of UK, israeli & u.s. security services, for what purpose is still not disclosed (“Chechen” dirty bomb, for planting in an Iranian facility to be “found”?). The only reason this now known outside the spook world is that over-confident horse’s backside accidentally contaminated himself.

Nuclear weapons are given a lot more security that regular weapons, for obvious reasons. If there is a nuclear “terrorist” incident, one can be certain it is a state sponsored terrorist incident in my opinion.

OK, I apologize about claiming you lied about the price of the sight. It looks like the model you claim it is at the manufacturer’s website. The rpg appears to be the model you claim in your response, and is being carried with the rear facing forward.

The availability of the sight is less clear at the manufacturer’s website from what I saw. One needs a special clearance to export it and these differ with the country exported to, but it doesn’t appear one needs anything special to buy one in the usa, though maybe they say so in some on a part of the site I didn’t see. It is distributed by dozens of different dealers in each state, I noticed.

Even if availability is restricted, that wouldn’t stop a determined person from getting hold of one. There is any number of ways the sight could have made it into the hands of that guy. In Russia, on the “black market”, one can pretty much find anything. I don’t know how it is in Kyrgyzstan, but I would imagine it’s even more wide open (the existence of the rpg means nothing, the source of the rpg, being a Russian make, could easily be black market). Who those 2 people are in that photo is unknown. They could be connected with drug traffickers, the ousted guv operating undercover, Russian spooks, or as you claim, opposition protesters working for the usa. In fact what proof is there the photo even comes from Kyrgyzstan or from the recent protests? Telegraph? Not a very honest source. BTW, one can buy all sorts of restricted item on the u.s. “black market” as well, example: when I was a teenager at a peaceful, suburban u.s. high school, no gangs, no or very little serious drugs, an acquaintance offered to sell me a silenced, semi-auto pistol. My guess is the likely source of your sight, if the photo is genuine, is probably drug smuggler related

To base a theory that the protests were u.s. sponsored and organised on one photo of one guy armed with an expensive sight of u.s. origin is reaching a bit to much. You need quite a bit more evidence than that. I’m not saying the ami didn’t sponsor the protests, there is some circumstantial evidence of u.s. backing, but it’s about of the same strength of the evidence saying the Russians did it. I’ll remain neutral till more evidence surfaces.

And no, I’m not involved in drugs or mafias. Are you?

Second. The picture labeled thus:

“The HWS (holographic weapon sight) attached to the AK gun in the hands of an opposition fighter is the product of the US L-3 Communications EOTech Corporation, 500 series, retail price 600 USD each one (four average monthly salaries in Kyrgyzstan). According to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) of the USA, the commercial sales and exports of this equipment requires a license issued by the US Department of State and Department of Commerce. These models were not officially delivered to Kyrgyzstan or Russia. Hence this AK with an advanced HWS could NOT be used by a regular Kyrgyz special unit officer and then captured by a protester at the ‘battlefield’. The Telegraph snapshot clearly indicates that the ‘pro-Russian revolt’ in Bishkek was surprisingly supplied from a US military site in Kyrgyzstan or, perhaps, Afghanistan.”

A quick websearch brought up this:

http://www.officerstore.com/store/category.cfm/cid_1788_eotech_hws_mounts_and_accessories/

Apparently one can buy one of these sights over the web like one can buy a book from Amazon. That’s confirmed lie #1 in this article. Lie #2 is the amount one of these costs – $70-210, depending on which one. The one shown with the AK 47 is about $100. It’s also not all that clear the item in the article photograph matches what they call it in the article, since the picture doesn’t appear to match any of these that are depicted at the store website, even though they are listed as the same item mentioned in the article. And this brings me to a related point. The mount depicted in the article photograph is in a different place than on the AK 47 mount at the store site. Very different place. This also raises the question about whether it’s not another type of HWS altogether. Going by the fact the author lied about the availability and cost of the sights, it’s probable he lied about what type it is, as well. Likely he didn’t even know the type for certain.

Anyone can associate the u.s. guv with drug traffickers to gain a bit a dissident credibility, since everyone knows that that such links are rampant. It’s likely that much of the heroin smuggling from Afghanistan is passing through u.s. and nato operated bases in neighbouring countries. Considering such went on in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war, and during the 80′s coke was coming into the usa from Latin America via u.s. air bases. But because of the lies, it doesn’t pass the “smell test”.

I suspect this article is disinformation. Perhaps to illlegitimise the new guv, maybe to just sow confusion all around. I’m still waiting to see where this rebellion goes. I don’t think there is convincing evidence of any side orchestrating it, yet.

Israeli Hasbara organ, The Wall Street Journal, has reported today that an interim government has been established under the leadership of Roza Otunbayeva with Vice-premier Omurbek Tekebayev, Vice-premier Temir Sariyev and defence minister Ismail Isakov. The interim government has promised to keep the US military base at Manas operating indefinitely.

The Zionist puppet, Ban Ki-moon was not happy with the ousted president either. Ban had visited the country last Saturday and criticized Kurmanbek Bakiyev’s government for human-righst violation (he would dare to say so in case of the US, Britain, France and Israel). Ban is despatching his special envoy, Jan Kubis, Slovakia’s former foreign minister, to Kyrgyzstan on Friday in order to legitimize the new pro-West, anti-Muslim government.

Askar Akayey was hailed by the West as one of the few democratic leaders after the dismemberment of USSR in 1991 as result of Red Army’s defeat at the hands of Afghan Mujahideen. He joined the ranks of a long list of former US assets, such as, Saddam Husein (Iraq), Manuel Noreiga (Panama), Slobadan Milosevic, Eduard Shevardnadze (Georgia), Lech Walensa (Poland), Pervez Musharaf (Pakistan), Yasser Arafat (PLO) and Leonid Kuchma (Ukraine). In the aftermath of 2005 “Tulip Revolution”, the Wall Street Journal had reported that Kyrgyz Opposition was largely funded by pro-West NGOs. Two of the major NGOs working with the Opposition, the Coalition for Democracy and Civill Society (CDCS) and the Civil Society Against Corruption (CSAC), receive bulk of their funding from US government and anti-Islamist organizations.

All the Communist-turned- Nationalist governments in the former five USSR republics with Muslim majority – have close relations with the Zionist entity and the dictators are supported by the powerful Israel Lobby in the US. This is the reasons none of the leaders had criticized Tel Aviv for its genocide of Muslims in Gazzah in December-January 2009. These dictorial governments have no other alternative but to maintain friendly relations with the West in order to suppress public hatred toward Zionist-created “War on Islam” and their national anti-Islam leadership. Mars Sariev, an independent political oberser, summed-up the situation in Kyrgyzstan: “The more strongly the situation in Palestine aggravates, the more Islam is politicized. There are some politicians who use Islam for their purposes. The position of moderate Muslims has suffered and radical Islam grows. And this factor cannot be stopped with weapons. It’s wrong.”

Kyrgyzstan is home to nearly 6 million people (80% Muslims, 20% Christians). The natural resources include natural gas, oil, gold, coal, lead and uranium. The region was part of Muslim Uzbek Khanate till 1876, when it was annexed by Russia.
