From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/19/2007 1:54 AM Putin’s Aide Says Recent Murders of Dissidents Are Plot Against Russia 18.01.2007 MosNews A senior aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the murders of journalist Anna Politkovskaya and former spy Alexander Litvinenko are part of an attack by powerful groups against the head of state, the Reuters news agency reported on Thursday. Litvinenko’s death in London on November 23 from polonium poisoning followed the murder in Moscow of prominent journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Both were critics of Putin. “Polonium-Litvinenko-Politkovskaya are all linked together,” RIA news agency on Thursday quoted Putin aide Igor Shuvalov as saying in Berlin. “There are strong groups which have joined together to constantly attack the president’s line and him personally,” Shuvalov said. “None of these murders are in our interests.” The murders of Litvinenko and Politkovskaya raised concerns inside Russia about the political stability Putin has been credited with enforcing after the chaos of the 1990s and the fall of the Soviet Union. The Kremlin has said Litvinenko’s lucid deathbed ... >> full

rom: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/20/2007 3:38 AM Film-maker fears returning to Russia Publication time: Today at 11:06 Djokhar time A Russian documentary-maker and friend of Alexander Litvinenko, said yesterday that he feared for his safety after being warned "not to make anti-Russian films". Andrei Nekrasov, who has just finished a documentary for BBC2, on the Litvinenko murder, said that relatives in Russia had received the threat this week from "an old friend". "I am concerned for my safety," he told The Times. "I do not know if it is safe for me to return to my home in St Petersburg." Mr Nekrasov was close to Litvinenko and visited him regularly in hospital after his poisoning with radioactive polonium-210. His film for Storyville My Friend Sacha: a Very Russian Murder is said to be a powerful indictment of the authoritarianism of President Putin's Russia. It includes an interview with Litvinenko's widow, Marina, and footage implicating the Kremlin in the attempted murder of Boris Berezovsky, a Russian oligarch who has been ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/20/2007 6:58 AM Not last war Instant pudding, overnight delivery, microwave fast food, Black Berries, quickie divorces: Is it any wonder there is no resolve to fight a costly and mismanaged war, now dragging on for more than three years in Iraq? News flash. You better get used to it. This isn't the last war. Radical Islam today is creating major threats in and/or from Iran, Syria, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Chechnya, not to mention terrorist attacks in Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands and the World Trade Center. Richard the Lionheart and the crusaders didn't finish the war against radical Islam; the colonial British and the French didn't do it; nor did President Clinton or the first President Bush. If we are to finish the war, we must commit any and all necessary troops to Iraq. If not Iraq, where do you want to fight radical Islam? The plague will only replenish itself and spread. If the war is ... >> full

Each contact with the strangers caused a cataclysm (catastrophe) for the Chechens as the powerful people usually have only one instrument to achieve their goals - force. The use of force triggers war and any war causes numerous losses and ruins everything what has been created. Born to be free, Chechens never escape challenge. thus bringing their nation to nearly a complete elimination. Even defeated they cannot accept the captivity as everything is to be changed for that - way of living, traditions, mentality, genetic characteristics. In one word, it means to lose the God-granted originality - the relic of any nation - and to stop being Chechens. The current war is not only the result of the Russian-Chechen conflict, but also of the conflict ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/21/2007 1:37 PM Russia is a huge graveyard Publication time: 21 January 2007, 16:44 I am from Europe, and I read about your war against Russian invaders. I am no Muslim but I believe that this a righteous war and I am sure you will win it in the end. One can see that God is already punishing Russia for their cruelties to many nations. The number of them is diminishing every year 700.000. Russia is a huge graveyard and this is because God hast stuck them. They can't help themselves anymore. They are under the control of the devil who has the allowance of God to kill and slaughter them and bring them to hell. I know that God will rule this case in your favor. Probably there is no other nation on this world who is as brave as your men and women. Every other nation would have surrendered and given up the fight. But not you! That's why God has chosen ... >> full
