THE ‘BILLIONAIRE’ WHO ISN’T

THE ‘BILLIONAIRE’ WHO ISN’T – The Burning Platform



It has never resonated with me when someone flat-out states that my Guy has pillaged the coffers of a country to which his love for knows no bounds. Whenever someone makes that claim a fog of cognitive dissonance sets in because the accusation simply does not square with the biography, measured actions, emotional maturity, cognitive intelligence, spiritual anchoring, and statesmanship skills living through the man.
When I ask for citing, inevitably someone who obviously knows very little if anything of Vlad’s personal history will link to some neocon-penned article serving the AngloZionist Empire. It’s true that articles of the same ilk can be found in Russian Atlantic Integrationist 5th column media, but follow the money on who is funding the Ruskie media self-adoring, wannabe-potentates, and one will undoubtedly come full-circle to the same AngloZionist Empire Usurpers.
I recently came across this article that was written this past Spring. Yes, it is extremely long. But, just as extreme as it is in length, it is equally extreme in its thoroughness, not to mention how extremely engrossing and intriguing a read it is. 
I’ve added several relevant pictures (the original article didn’t have any) to break-up the text so as to make it less cumbersome. Bookmark it to read later or read a little bit at a time….just don’t dismiss it.

The story of Putin’s fabled billions is a case study of something which people passionately believe in independently of any facts.
As often happens in such cases, those who believe in that thing then hunt around for facts to prove it true.
Every so often they come up with facts they claim proves it true. On careful examination however it turns out they do nothing of the sort.
When that is pointed out to the true believers it does not change their belief that what they believe is true. Instead they retreat into denial and set off hunting for new facts.
In my opinion none of the claims about Putin’s billionaire fortune are true and some of them are demonstrably false. In this article I will try to explain why.
I will also try to show how the various claims about Putin’s billions follow certain recurring patterns, which in themselves give reasons to doubt they are true.
Lastly I will give my own opinion about how rich Putin actually is and why he is almost certainly not even a rich man.
In order to do this I will deal with the various allegations which have been made about Putin in turn in rough chronological order ending with the so-called Panama Papers.
