"Riot Grrrls and Followers Ride the Bernays Highway
Haven't we had about enough of this? In the words of some tv writers, this whole Pussy Riot episode is fake, fake, fake, fake and useful idiots all over the world fall for the script. When so called 'celebrities' like Madonna and Paul McCartney show their support, well, you know you've been had.
Overall, even the alternative media has failed to expose this blatant psyops. Check out Noor's posts on this, here and here. Not everyone is fooled.
A fairly good summary comes from someone on the girl's facebook page:
Freedom of speech is going into a Russian Orthodox Christian Church wearing KKK masks and denouncing Putin and Christianity? Really? What if some women went into a Synagogue in this country and sang some anti-semitic epithets? You better bet your Zionist owned ass that they would be tried as terrorists and disappeared into a Luciferian dungeon for the rest of their lives. This Pussy Riot stunt and the naked Ukrainian girl that chainsawed a Cross to the ground, is just Western backed agitation and BS propaganda. I'm all for free speech and women's rights but this ain't it. Ever since Putin kicked out the Jewish Oligarchs from Russia, the CIA/Mossad have been backing stunts like this. Don't believe the hype. And Kasparov's real name is Garik Weinstein, Zionist agent. And no culture that bases itself in a cesspit of Luciferianism, Propaganda, Pedophilia, Immorality and Insanity - all designed by Zionists who enjoy dumb goyim fighting amongst each other, will ever lead to a revolution that means anything. Only thing thing Pussy Riot will be good for is the headlining act at a FEMA Camp near you.And from a comment here:
So obvious. The endless media coverage is of course the first tip off. Russia is standing in the way of certain designated "enemies"(Syria and Iran) and Israel and the US don't appreciate it. Pussy Riot=obvious psy op.And here:
The heavy sentence they received is probably the Russian's way of sending a message to the people that they are not going to tolerate them siding with the US state department in an effort to destabilize the country. This is Putin after all. He's making a point. And it's probably not going to the missed by the others in Russia who are trying to help neo-liberalize the country and take them back to the Yeltsin years of corruption and pillaging the nation.What really topped it off for me was the topless chain saw wielding Ukrainian girl cutting down a cross that was a memorial for those murdered and starved by Stalin's bolshevik killers. One doesn't have to be traditionally religious in the least to see it for what it is...an attack on true history that some would want us to forget.
We can understand the paid provocateurs. They do it for the money and the little fame it brings them. It's the blind followers that are worrisome....

FLASHBACK:
"Throngs at Moscow cathedral show support for church" April 23, 2012
MOSCOW - Tens of thousands prayed outside Moscow’s main cathedral on Sunday to show their support for the Russian Orthodox Church in a controversy over a punk rock protest that has added to the political tensions in Russia.
Christ the Savior Cathedral was the scene of a brief surprise performance in February by a female punk rock group protesting Vladimir Putin’s return to the presidency....
Patriarch Kirill has described the punk performance as blasphemous and part of a broader attack on the church, which is considered by many Russians as essential to their national identity and an intrinsic part of a powerful state.
Kirill had called on believers to attend Sunday’s service to pray “for our faith, our church, our sacred objects, and our fatherland.’’
The church maintains that desecration of icons and other acts of vandalism have become more frequent since the punk protest. As the patriarch led a procession around the cathedral, priests carried a crucifix and an icon that had been damaged in attacks elsewhere in Russia this spring.
The priests also carried an icon that had been pierced by bullets in the 1920s, when Communists began destroying churches in Russia after taking power in 1917.
But they left the synagogues standing?
Speaking to the crowds from a stage outside the cathedral, Kirill said the church once again has come under attack from “enemy forces.’’
The patriarch has joined the Kremlin in portraying the recent wave of protests against Putin as a threat to Russian statehood.

"Russian punk rock band sent to jail; Three young women get 2-year terms" by David M. Herszenhorn | New York Times, August 18, 2012
MOSCOW — Russia has had an upwelling of dissent since disputed parliamentary elections last December, including demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of people in Moscow. But the Pussy Riot case in recent weeks morphed into an international sensation and focused intense attention on the efforts of the president, Vladimir V. Putin, to clamp down on the opposition.

Yes, the glowing positive coverage of certain protests by my agenda-pushing pos tells you a lot.
This was partly because of the sympathetic appearance of the defendants — two are mothers of young children — and partly because their group uses music to carry its message. But it also set them in a David-and-Goliath struggle against a formidable power-structure: the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church.
As word of the sentences spread, a crowd of protesters outside the courthouse howled angrily, and then seemed to fall into a stunned silence. Sporadic protests and violent arrests continued during the evening.
Rallies in support of a punk band called Pussy Riot were held in dozens of cities around the world Friday....
While the case has allowed critics of Putin to portray his government as squelching free speech and presiding over a rigged judicial system, it has also given the government an opportunity to portray its political opponents as obscene, disrespectful rabble-rousers, liberal urbanites backed by the West in a conspiracy against the Russian state and the Russian church.
Which happens to be the truth, but....
The case began in February when the women infiltrated the Cathedral of Christ the Savior wearing colorful balaclavas, and pranced around in front of the golden Holy Doors leading to the altar, dancing, chanting and lip-syncing for what would later become a music video of a profane song in which they beseeched the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin.
Yeah, hate crimes are such fun.
Because of the support they have received from stars such as Madonna and Sting, the women have become famous, at least outside Russia, than other opposition leaders .
But while the women became minor celebrities, Pussy Riot is more political than musical: the band has never commercially released a song.
Then they are NOT a BAND! That is just a COVER STORY!!

You know, the Russian church seems to be getting along with others just fine.

That confirms the covert op.

"The charge marks a threshold for President Vladimir Putin, who for 12 years as paramount leader has refrained from criminal prosecutions of activist leaders, sidelining them with softer methods like short-term detentions and limited access to television. The charges Tuesday suggest that the Kremlin’s eagerness to limit Navalny’s impact outweighs the risk of a political backlash."
Turns out Navalny is a recipient of NED money, meaning he is CIA.

"Kremlin camp invites critics this year; Skeptics wonder if opposition is being co-opted" by Alexander Roslyakov and Laura Mills | Associated Press, August 03, 2012
LAKE SELIGER, Russia — The spirit of rebellion roiling Russia this year stretches even into the Seliger youth camp, an annual Kremlin-funded event that has long been seen as a training ground for truculent Putin loyalists.
This year’s camp, which ended Thursday, struck a different chord. Organizers encouraged opposition activists to join, and cultivated an edgy vibe symbolized by a new logo designed by graffiti artist Banksy.
But many question whether Seliger’s makeover is an attempt to constructively engage the opposition or co-opt a movement that severely rattled President Vladimir Putin with a wave of massive demonstrations during the past year.
That does it. I've HAD IT with POT-HOLLERING-KETTLE CRAP MEDIA!!!!!!
Recently passed measures such as an astronomical increase in fines for taking part in an unauthorized demonstration may do little to discourage protesters — and may even encourage more people to support the opposition. And Putin has shown tentative signs of trying to mollify the opposition without actually giving ground.
Whether that thinking underlies the Seliger camp’s new image is unclear — but the changes this year were striking.
Inaugurated in 2005, the Seliger summer session for years were open only to members of Nashi, the pro-Kremlin youth group noted for its vehement devotion to those in power, and affiliated groups. The camp, located 220 miles northwest of Moscow, long had an iconography that some have likened to a neo-Soviet personality cult....

And someone said something somewhere about this being an attempt to give Putin his own Arab Spring?
"Russian officials unearth underground Muslim sect" by Mansur Mirovalev | Associated Press, August 09, 2012
MOSCOW — A self-proclaimed prophet had a vision from God: He would build an Islamic caliphate under the earth.
The digging began about a decade ago and 70 followers soon moved into an eight-level subterranean honeycomb of cramped cells with no light, heat, or ventilation.
Children were born. They, too, lived in the cold underground cells for many years — until authorities raided the compound last week and freed the 27 sons and daughters of the sect.
Ages 1 to 17, the children rarely saw the light of day and had never left the property, attended school, or been seen by a doctor, officials said Wednesday. Their parents — sect members who call themselves ‘‘muammin,’’ from the Arabic for ‘‘believers’’ — were charged with child abuse.
The sect’s 83-year-old founder, Faizrakhman Satarov, who declared himself a prophet in contradiction to Islamic principles, was charged with negligence, said Irina Petrova, deputy prosecutor in the provincial capital of Kazan.
The children were discovered when police searched the sect grounds as part of an investigation into the recent slaying of a top Tatarstan Muslim cleric, an attack local officials blame on radical Islamist groups that have mushroomed in the oil-rich, Volga River province of Tatarstan.
Radical Islamist groups = western intelligence agency operation.
Satarov ordered his followers to live in cells they dug under a three-story brick house topped by a small minaret with a tin crescent moon. Only a few sect members were allowed to leave the premises to work as traders at a local market, Russian media reported.
The children were examined at hospitals and will temporarily live in an orphanage, pediatrician Tatyana Moroz said. ‘‘They looked nourished but dirty, so we had to wash them,’’ she said in televised remarks.
Their parents expressed concern about the children’s medical treatment.
Doctors ‘‘can do anything to them,’’ Fana Sayanova, a woman wearing a long white dress with her face veiled, told local television.
The decrepit house on a 7,530-square-foot plot of land was built illegally and will be demolished, Tatarstan police said.
‘‘They will come with bulldozers and guns, but they will have to demolish this house over our dead bodies,’’ sect member Gumer Ganiyev said on the Vesti television channel. The ailing Satarov appointed Ganiyev as his deputy prophet, according to local media.
Satarov, who according to local media had followers in several other cities in the region, said in a 2008 interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily that he fell out with other clerics and authorities in the Communist era.
Police raided Satarov’s house Friday as part of an investigation into the killing of Valiulla Yakupov, Tatarstan’s deputy chief mufti, who was gunned down in mid-July as he left his house in Kazan. Minutes later, chief mufti Ildus Faizov was wounded in the legs when a bomb blast ripped through his car in Kazan.
Both clerics were known as critics of radical Islamist groups that advocate a strict and puritanical version of Islam known as Salafism.
Translation: they both knew those groups are covert intelligence operations.
Prosecutors have named two suspects in Yakupov’s killing who remain at large and arrested five others in the case.
