Dossier:

According to press reports, in 1980, Alisher Usmanov- the son of the prosecutor of Tashkent – was sentenced by a military tribunal of the Turkestan Military District for extortion. It was reported that his accomplice had been an operative of the special department of the KGB Nasymov, son of Vice-Chairman of the KGB in Uzbekistan. Usmanov was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment in a penal colony with confiscation of property. After the scandalous trial fathers of both convicts lost their jobs. In 1986, Usmanov was released on parole “due to sincere repentance” and “for good conduct.” Subsequently, Usmanov said that he was a victim of political repression. There is no information on the circumstances of the crime committed by Nasymov and Usmanov because the criminal case files had been destroyed, according to the media: in July 2000, the Uzbek Supreme Court fully rehabilitated Usmanov and called the criminal case against him as fabricated.

Since the late 90-s the press began to report on a close acquaintance of Alisher Usmanov with a lieutenant colonel of foreign intelligence in the KGB Yevgeny Ananyev, as well as with Sergei Yastrzhemsky, in 2000 he became assistant to Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was reported on the ambiguous relationship of Usmanov: his name was mentioned in one context with Sergei Mikhailov, known under the nickname “Mikhas” and was considered the leader of the Solntsevo OPG. It was also reported on Usmanov’s dealings with State Duma deputy Andrei Skotch and businessman Lev Kvetny (both appeared in the media as members of the Solntsevo OPG, first – under the nickname “Scotch”, the second – “Kvetnoy”), as well – with the North Caucasian mafia clan.

According to the press, Usmanov met Ananyev in the late 80’s. After graduating MGIMO Usmanov headed the firm “Association of the 8th day”, which as written in the media, arranged hunting rare animals in the Pamirs for wealthy foreigners. It was reported that one of the customers allegedly tried to recruit Usmanov. But he tipped about the queer client to deputy chairman of the KGB Uzbekistan, after which he met the officer of the 6th Directorate of the KGB, USSR – Yevgeny Ananyev. When Usmanov opened shop for production of plastic bags in the Moscow area based on Ramensky plastics plant Ananiev allegedly helped him avoid the second arrest, according to press reports. The local police became interested in the shop : according to some sources, the waste of which the packages had been made in fact was a first-class raw material from the factory.

According to the press, in April 1993 MAPO-Bank was established with the participation of the first Russian Independent Bank, Usmanov was in the board of directors there. The bank reportedly was needed to serve the financial contracts of the state enterprise generating aircraft MAPO “MiG”. It was also reported that by the request of Usmanov shortly before the establishment of MAPO-Bank Evgeny Ananievwas introduced to the surrounding of Vladimir Kuzmin, then head of MAPO “MiG” , and was appointed an adviser.

As written in the press, according to some data, the bank enjoyed the patronage of the then Vice-Premier Oleg Soskovets and the Chief of Security Service of President Alexander Korzhakov. In August 1997, Ananiev was appointed director general of Rosvooruzhenie by decree of Boris Yeltsin. As a result, according to the press, MAPO-Bank received a serious clientele in the face of the FSB, SVR(Foreign Intelligence Service) and Rosvooruzheniye.

As written in the media with reference to operational data, before the establishment of MAPO-Bank Ananiev had met with one of the most influential in Central Asia boss nicknamed Gafur (Gafur Rakhimov) in the country house of Usmanov . Reportedly, then Usmanov allegedly had met with a criminal leader Sergei Mikhailov several times.

According to the press, accounts of the FSB, SVR and Rosvooruzheniye were transferred to other banks because of strengthening the position of organized crime in the MAPO-bank. As reported, starting from August 1996 MAPO-Bank focused on serving the project on creation a financial-industrial group “AtomRudMet” developed with the participation of Usmanov.

According to the press, MAPO-Bank became the main bank of “AtomRudMet”, its authorized capital consisted of the collective funds. Citing the security sources, the press reported it was through the export flows of “AtomRudMeta” the foreign currency funds of the North clan had been transferred abroad. And then there was information that the “collective funds” of the North Caucasian clan having been located in MAPO-Bank for almost four years, was removed and transferred to one of the offshore zones. Then on February 16, 2000 the Bank of Russia decided to revoke the license for banking operations of the MAPO-Bank, according to official information, it was due to its “inability to satisfy the claims of creditors on monetary obligations”.

According to the press, Usmanov co-founded the Inter-bank investment-financial company Interfin, which became a shareholder in MAPO-Bank; he did so at the same time with the creation of MAPO-Bank

As reported, this time the partner of Usmanov appeared to be Andrei Scotch, a former head of the firm “Oka-Oil” – an oil products trader. Since 1999, Andrew Scotch was member of the State Duma. In the press there is evidence of Scotch’s involvement in the Solntsevo OPG. In early 2003, Usmanov said in an interview that the group “Interfin” was owned by three partners. As reported, he said those were him and Kvetnoy. The third one, as suggested by journalists, was Scotch. The media suggested that the latter was not named because of his parliamentary mandate.

Media reported that since the beginning of the 90’s the owner of “NOSTA” (as well as Avtobank Ingosstrakh, etc.) was Andrei Andreev – former senior officer of OBKhSS. According to press reports, the participation of Andreev in the bank’s capital and the insurance company was camouflaged by offshores and cross-ownership. But attempts by Andreev to work in a highly competitive industries had not been supported by sufficient financial and administrative resources. As a result, in 2001 Andreev lost his business empire. The owner of its assets became the consortium, consisting of Basic Element, Millhouse Capital and Nafta-Moscow (Abramovich and Deripaska). As the press wrote, later the entrepreneur insisted he had not sold Avtobank, Ingosstrakh, Nosta and others, but that they had actually stolen them from him. Ingosstrakh stayed with Oleg Deripaska, “Nosta” came under the control of Alisher Usmanov. Avtobank became an integral part of Uralsib (Nikolai Tsvetkov).

Thus, in November 2004 they paid 44 million pounds to the president’s daughter Gulnara Karimova who allowed Gazprom to snatch a contract with Uzbekistan from the Americans. In exchange for the money Putin gave instructed Karimov to kick out the Americans from the military base that was controlling the Central Asian region, and Gazprom received a strategic bridgehead for hegemony over the gas reserves of Central Asia and Caucasus.

In May 2005, as the press wrote, Usmanov made a “capture attack” on “Magnitka” – Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (“MMK”). It was reported that the businessman had intended to subordinate the factory itself. But its leader Viktor Rashnikov proved intractable. The MMK historically lacked the proper raw materials, and Usmanov, “put” it on the “raw diet”. In May 2005, the supply of iron ore from the mining and concentration complexes (Mikhailovsky and Lebedinsk) controlled by Usmanov were stopped. Usmanov also persuaded the Kazakh colleagues, Sokolov-Sarbaiskoye mining production enterprise (“SSGPO” previously provided 70% of MMK) to join the “raw blockade” of Magnitka. As the press wrote, in a few days the largest company of the steel industry in the country, which share of Russian production was 20%, appeared to be without a supplier. MMK was on the verge of stopping. But, as reported, Rashnikov’s relations in the Kremlin helped him avoid a takeover by Metalloinvest.

While being the chief of the Presidential Security Service, Korzhakov had profound influence on Yeltsin. The service was established by special Yeltsin’s decree and was not regulated by law. To control it Yeltsin issued Presidential Security Service Regulations that became classified information. Security Service was engaged in operational-search activity and surveillance of potentially dangerous citizens. The service used hidden camera techniques, phone tapping and so on, although the Presidential Security Service was not mentioned in the law On operative-search activity that granted a licence for that kind of activity. Security Service call-forward was included in confidential part of the budget message avaliable only for specially authorized officials, including members of the Duma Security Committee.

The Communists reported that on 3-4 October 1993, during the armed conflict in Moscow, Korzhakov had been involved in shooting defenders of the government quarters. He was said to demand their execution after they had been captured and brought to the stairs of the quarters: “I am ordered to liquidate all the uniformed people!”

But in fact, Korzhakov’s role was insignificant. He confined himself to arresting security officers Rutskoi , Khasbulatov and Makashov. Rumours about “bloody butcher Korzhakov” are still not confirmed. There is no evidence of the very fact that militants who had surrendered were shot.

Cash amount totalling 538 thousand U.S. dollars was found in the box. After questioning Yevstafyev and Lisovsky were released. Chief of the Presidential Security Service Korzhakov, the FSB director Mikhail Barsukov and first deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets, who had initiated their detention, were forced to resign because of vigorous campaign launched by certain media.

In fact, half a million dollars turned to be costs of eliminating the group undesirable for Chubais. Korzhakov, Soskovets and Barsukov were no longer close to Yeltsin. As Korzhakov claimed in his memoirs, Security Service received reports on “plundering” of the campaign funds.

Korzhakov stated that the amount had been kept there without any documents indicating its source, while payment warrants of the foreign banks were found.

As Rudakov learned, Usmanov and Krasenkov employed any means to ”prevent Zapsibgazprom from getting improved under external control.

According Yumasheva, the money found on Lisovski and Yevstafyev was intended for payments to actors who had taken part in the show held in Yeltsin’s support. Businessmen were to convey the money to the recipients.

As Yumasheva claimed, Korzhakov, who controlled Yeltsin’s campaign funds, knew about it and grabbed the opportunity to regain its former influence on the president, having fabricated an embezzlement case. Yumasheva called Korzhakov’s actions “stupidity, baseness and betrayal.”

Alexander Korzhakov replied that he had not controlled the Yeltsin’s campaign funds. “Chernomyrdin, Chubais and deputy Finance Minister Kuznetsov were responsible for that,” he said. Korzhakov added that the operation on the arrest of Lisovski and Yevstafyev had been conducted at Yeltsin’s request, as Yeltsin had suspected stealing money from his funds.

Investigators considered various motives for his murder, including his business activity. However, the most intriguing thing was the fact that Bagdasarov had been a witness of a search of the apartment , where Alexander Tikhonov, the father of lawyer Stanislav Markelov’s and journalist Anastasia Baburova’s murderer Nikita Tikhonov, lived.

For the first time the press wrote negatively about Berezovsky in connection with his appearance in August 1994 in the board of directors of AvtoVAZ. As reported by the media, Berezovsky and CEO Vladimir Kadannikov in order to establish full control over Avtovaz used the scheme of cross-shareholding. As reported, the essence of the scheme was that the majority of shares in the company was bought by VAZ-controlled firms, including LogoVAZ and AVVA. It turned out that the top managers of the plant became heads of the structures that had kept its shares.

It was also reported that another “invention” by Kadannikov and Berezovsky was schemes of sham cars re-export. Their essence was that the exported vehicles cost less than those that went to the domestic market. But the cars crossed the border only on paper. In fact, they were sold in Russia on domestic prices.

According to investigators, Berezovsky participated in the embezzlement of funds through his Swiss company Forus Holding. As the press reported, the main part of “case of Aeroflot” had lasted five years and ended with a verdict by the Savyolovsky court of Moscow. Glushkov, Krasneker, Kryzhevskaya, and another helper were found guilty, but on the whole the version of the Prosecutor General’s Office of serious crimes committed by them had been rejected. In March 2004, as reported, all of the four received minimum terms and were released in the courtroom immediately after sentencing. The case against Mr Berezovsky was separated in a special case.

RIA Novosti on 12/07/2007

 

As reported, on November 29, 2007 the Savyolovsky court of Moscow sentenced Berezovsky in absentia to six years imprisonment. He was found guilty of fraud, but not of the legalization of stolen funds of Aeroflot.

Boris Berezovsky appeared in the scandal connected with the murder of Ukrainian journalist Georgy Gongadze.

As the press was writing, a former employee of the State Security Service of Ukraine, Major Mykola Melnichenko secretly recorded his conversations when working in the administration of the President Leonid Kuchma. In late 2000 some of the records were made public; that provoked a “cassette scandal” in Ukraine: it was an opportunity to accuse Leonid Kuchma and his closest associates of the murder of journalist Georgy Gongadze, as well as – of the pressure on the deputies and judges, and of sales of radars «Mail» to Iraq.

Media reported that in 2002 Nikolai Melnichenko sold part of his archive to Boris Berezovsky.
Nezavisimaya Gazeta № 261 (3659) from 01.12.2005

 

And in March 2005, Melnichenko turned to Berezovsky for ensuring his safety as he was the last witness in the case of Gongadze murder after the strange suicide of former Interior Minister of Ukraine, Yuri Kravchenko.
Law and Business № 49 (725) on 03.12.2005, Today (Ukraine) # 1993 from 05.03.2005

 

As reported, in April 2006 already Melnichenko accused Berezovsky of films manipulations. According to him, the patron attempted to publish only some parts of the film, hiding the rest.
Nezavisimaya Gazeta № 261 (3659) from 01.12.2005

 

A little later the relationship between Melnichenko and Berezovsky had completely spoiled. The first said that Berezovsky conspired with the senior Ukrainian government in order to rig the criminal investigation of the Gongadze murder. Representatives of the latter accused Melnichenko of the fact he had forbidden to make public records and possibly fabricated part of the transcripts.

The press wrote about the scandal caused by Berezovsky’s visit to Georgia under a different name. According to media reports, on September 12, 2003 Berezovsky was granted a political asylum in Britain. The London Court dismissed the case for his extradition to Russia. In the same year, British authorities issued a travel document to Berezovsky under the name of Platon Elenin. In December 2003, Berezovsky met with his business partner Badri Patarkatsishvili in Georgia, and then he presented documents in the name Elenin on the border.

Newspapers wrote about the Brazilian prosecutors’ interest to Boris Berezovsky.

It was reported that according to unconfirmed reports, Berezovsky managed the company Media Sports Investment (MSI) through his trustee – Iranian Kia Joorabchian, and was the general sponsor of the soccer club “Corinthians” (Corinthians) – champion of Brazilian championship in 2005.
Source Kommersant № 80 (3411) on 05.05.2006 and # 81 (3412) on 10/05/2006

 

According to press reports, in 2005 the Brazilian authorities for combating financial irregularities became interested in the possible involvement of MSI in money laundering. Brazilian law enforcement authorities could not understand what the source of funds was, enabling the company to buy and sell the leading Latin American players (the press called Media Sports Investment the sponsor of the Brazilian soccer club Corinthians).

According to media reports, May 5, 2006, Berezovsky was arrested by theBrazilian police in the airport Kumbika in city of Sгo Paulo, and gave testimonies for several hours. The reason for the detention was a criminal case on money laundering through the football clubs in Brazil.

According to press reports, in September 2006 the Prosecutor’s Office in Sгo Paulo prepared a report, according to which some of the money allegedly laundered through the Corinthians, “in fact belonged to Berezovsky, Patarkatsishvili, and Dzhurabchan (by the time the latter had already left his post as head of MSI).
“Vision” from 06.05.2006, “Labor» № 171 from 16.09.2006

 

Brazilian general prosecutor demanded to arrest the leaders of the investment group Media Sports Investment; it suspected them of money laundering and forming a criminal group. In July 2007, it was reported that the Brazilian court issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Berezovsky, as well as other co-owners of MSI, including – Kia Joorabchian, and financial director of the investment group “Noyana bedru”. Since all the three at the time had been outside of Brazil, the request for their arrest was handed over to Interpol, and the MSI’s accounts were frozen in all the country’s banks.
ITAR-TASS on 13/07/2007

 

But in September 2008, as the media reported, the criminal case was closed, and the warrant for the arrest of Berezovsky was withdrawn. The press accosiated Such an odd final with the violations committed during the investigation.

According to press reports, the open stage of the conflict began in July 2005 when Mr Berezovsky announced that he and Patarkatsishvili had received about 1 billion dollars from Roman Abramovich for their shares in Sibneft Russian Aluminum, and ORT.

It was reported that Berezovsky gave several papers to Abramovich, but the latter put his hands behind his back, and the papers fell to the floor.

Later, Berezovsky told reporters that that was the agenda. And according to British law agenda is considered to be handed, even if it was thrown at the feet of the recipient in front of witnesses.

According to the press, the judicial war between Berezovsky and Abramovich has not yet ended. At the moment, reportedly Berezovsky accuses Mr Abramovich that he forced him to sell half of Sibneft at a reduced price – Boris Berezovsky received 1.3 billion dollars for his package, while in 2005 Gazprom paid to Roman Abramovich for that package 10 times more.

Television channels broadcasted a person who introduced himself as “Peter”, and reported that in 2003, Berezovsky allegedly offered him money for false testimony in court. Supposedly Berezovsky needed it in order to obtain political asylum in the UK and to avoid extradition to Russia. “Peter” was asked to pose as an agent of the FSB, who was sent to London to kill Berezovsky. By the words of “Peter”, he declined the offer. But they slipped psychotropic substances in coffee, made an audio record with false confessions, and presented it in court. “Peter” also said that Litvinenko knew the scheme of obtaining political refugee status by Berezovsky; allegedly on that reason he had been killed.

The credit card is issued to his trade name. The trade name has a socia security card, the trade name has a drivers licence, the trade name has a credit card. The computer on the bank can only write your name in capital letters. You are the authorized signature. You are not the owner. If you have personal checks with a line where you have to sign. It´s not a line even if it looks like it. Its a small text that says authorized signatury. It does not say owner. But it´s written so small so you have to magnify it 40 times to see the it. The signature you´re doing on the check you´re doing it on another ones account. It´s not your account. It´s the corporate account.

Paying taxes for your country is something good. There are two parties involwed in this process: you as a taxpayer and your countrys government. But a problem would be if a third party also wanted to be involwed in this process and get a share of the cookie.

Yukos controversy.
The Russian government had taken over the rich oil conglomerate Yukos for unpaid taxes. It had also arrested Yukos’ owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky for tax fraud, asset stripping, creative accounting and other related crimes. Khodorkovsky stunned everyone by revealing that, following the loss of Yukos, a hitherto unknown clause in the ownership agreement of the Yukos properties had come into play, which reverted the ownership of Yukos to the Rothschilds. All along, Khodorkovsky had ben acting as a frontman/agent! Very few knew about it – not even the Russian government! More bizzarre, support for Yukos came from an unlikely source – Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the Communisty Party! Our wonderful comrade appealed to Russian President Putin to settle the matter amicably with the Rothschildts. This was not a case of of a chameleon changing its color but a leopard losing its spots – just unbelievable! Welcome to the House of Rothschilds. Rothschilds intermarried with the Sinclair

The lyrics, roughly translated:

Over us, a bright star in the night
The sea is quiet, and the wind is peaceful
The quiet sea asleep in the wind

Below in the glen, the misty glen
The kingdom of the sun in the Golden Castle
The sea is quiet, and the wind is peaceful
The quiet sea asleep in the wind

Magic charms the people there
Bright lights in the Golden Castle
The sea is quiet, and the wind is peaceful
The quiet sea asleep in the wind

Santorini Increasing Earthquake Activity : Will It Affect the Hybernated Volcano?

 

SOURCE

by Staff Writers
Paris (ESA) Sep 14, 2012

Model of vertical movement across Santorini from January 2011 to present, derived from data from the Envisat and TerraSAR-X missions. Over the past year and a half, parts of Santorini have risen by 14 cm, such as the Kameni islands in the centre. Scientists believe that new molten rock has been squeezing up beneath the volcano at a depth of about 4 km, pictured here as a red dot. Credits: M. Parks.

In the south Aegean Sea, the islands of Santorini have been showing signs of unrest for the first time in over half a century. Satellite data confirm that the islands have risen as much as 14 cm since January 2011. The Santorini volcano’s last major explosive eruption was about 3600 years ago. This event formed a large crater, or caldera, which is now flooded by the sea.

For the past 2000 years Santorini has shown different behaviour patterns, with small eruptions of lava every few tens or hundreds of years, slowly building a new volcanic edifice from the sea floor.

The Kameni islands, which lie in the middle of Santorini’s large flooded crater, form the top of this youngest part of the volcano. The last eruption of the Kameni islands was in 1950. For the next 60 years, Santorini was quiet.

In January 2011, a series of small earthquakes began beneath the islands. Most were small enough that they could only be detected with sensitive seismometers, but several were felt by the local residents.

“On one particular day in April 2011, two tour guides told me they had felt an earthquake while they were on the volcano and that the motion of the ground had actually made them jump,” said Michelle Parks, a PhD student working with a team of scientists to map Santorini’s ground deformation.

“Locals working in restaurants on the main island of Thera became aware of the increase in earthquake activity through the vibration and clinking of glasses in their bars.”

In a study published this week in Nature Geoscience, the team discovered that the whole island group has been inflating – slowly rising and moving outward – almost systematically around a point just north of the Kameni islands.

To map the movement, the scientists used radar data from ESA’s Envisat satellite from March to December 2011 and from the German TerraSAR-X mission from July 2011 to April 2012.

To ensure accurate measurement, the team also used GPS receivers and an island-wide network of triangulation stations.

The study outlines that the total amount of vertical movement is now approaching 8-14 cm at some points on the Kameni islands, and the whole caldera is around 14 cm wider now than it was at the beginning of 2011.

The scientific team believes that molten rock has accumulated in a magma chamber at a depth of about 4 km.

This chamber increased by 10-20 million cubic metres (8-15 times the size of London’s Olympic Stadium) from January 2011 to April 2012. As it grew, Earth’s surface deformed in response.

The Kameni islands grow, on average, by about a million cubic metres per year. But the satellite data show that the amount of molten rock that has arrived beneath Santorini over the 12-month period is the equivalent of 10-20 years’ growth of the volcano.

“People were obviously aware that something was happening to the volcano, but it wasn’t until we saw the changes in the GPS, and the uplift on the radar images that we really knew that molten rock was being injected at such a shallow level beneath the volcano,” said Juliet Biggs, a British scientist specialising in satellite radar and co-author of the paper.

“Many volcanologists study the rocks produced by old eruptions to understand what happened in the past, so it’s exciting to use cutting-edge satellite technology to link that to what’s going on in the volcanic plumbing system right now.”

The scientists stressed that the recent movement doesn’t indicate that an eruption is about to happen. In fact, the rate of earthquake activity has dropped off in the past few months.

Similar results of ground deformation on the islands have been observed by a Greek team from the Harokopio University of Athens using the same type of satellite data.

Another US-Greek team also had similar observations while using ground-based GPS instruments.

Aleksandr Litvinenko,Big Oil and Putin- Documentary

 

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 23, 2012 –
Why is the 2006 poisoning death of Alexander Litvinenko still unsolved today? Media business analyst William Dunkerley looks into that question in a timely analysis just published. Dunkerley is the author of the book, The Phony Litvinenko Murder. He has followed the Litvinenko case closely since 2007. That’s when he was asked by the organizers of the World Congress of the International Federation of Journalists to study and analyze the media coverage surrounding Litvinenko’s poisoning and death. Dunkerley’s book reflects his findings, and further offers his analysis of subsequent developments in the case.

Litvinenko was a British citizen and fugitive from Russia, his original homeland. News of his death became a top world headline in late 2006. Dunkerley says the popular storyline was, “Former KGB Spy Litvinenko was murdered by Russian president Vladimir Putin who poisoned him with radioactive polonium.” But Dunkerley presents evidence that there are virtually no facts to back up that media theme.

Dunkerley also takes a critical look at the role of the London Coroner’s office in the Litvinenko case. Now five and half years after Litvinenko’s death, Dunkerley asks, “Why didn’t the Coroner wrap up the case years ago?” In his new report, Dunkerley describes a litany of contributing problems. He concludes that the case has been irreparably damaged by the Coroner’s handling of it and by what he calls the prevailing non-fact-based media coverage.

The new report can be seen here: http://www.omnicompress.com/plmblog/archives/2012/04/entry_9.htm

William Dunkerley is a media business analyst and consultant based in New Britain, CT. Dunkerley works extensively in Russia and other post-communist countries, and has advised governments on matters of press freedom and media sector development. He has written and spoken widely about media issues related to Russia.

 

Lonmin PLC UK based :."Storming" the Local Companies the UK style

Yesterday 16/8/2012 we were all overwhelmed by the UK government threats towards the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.Those threats constitute a war act against another nation which,by the way,committed no crime but to provide asylum to a persecuted person as all civilized nations would do.Yesterday the UK based mining company Lonmin PLC  with the help of the local police,killed 34 workers who were on strike which is one more NON NEGOTIABLE right of any human being(since animals can’t work)

Yesterday UK government proved that it doesn’t give a damn about human life,human rights,laws and international treaties that IT had signed at first place

 

Comments are welcome,trolling isn’t,thank you

 

Here is the company’s profile. Enjoy.

 

Company overview
Lonmin (formerly Lonrho PLC) is the world’s third largest primary producer of Platinum Group Metals. The group operates in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. The company was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 13 May 1909 as the London and Rhodesian Mining Company Limited. On 26 July 2008 the assets of Lonrho were demerged. Two publicly listed companies, Lonrho plc and Lonrho Africa plc were created – the former retaining all the non-African businesses and mining assets. In 1999 Lonrho PLC was renamed as Lonmin plc and a new era as a focused mining company began. Since then it has divested itself of all non-core assets.
HL Comment (14 November 2011)
London headquartered Lonmin, the world’s third-largest platinum producer announced its final results for the year ended 30 September earlier today, 14 November. A strong performance was registered by the group with platinum sales totalling 721,000 ounces, meeting its 2011 sales target. This was despite a strike at its Karee operations that forced the company to cut output targets and drive up unit costs. The outcome saw Lonmin dismiss 9,000 workers. Capital expenditure to support the future growth of the business was $410 million in the 2011 financial year. Expenditure in 2012 is planned at around $450 million to enable the miner to develop sufficient ore reserves to help attain its long term production target of 950,000 ounces of platinum per year. Revenues climbed to $1.99 billion, while underlying profit before tax was up 32.9% to $315 million. Both figures were at the higher end of market forecasts. Management expressed caution and market unpredictability in the short term outlook with the objective to being prepared to respond to more favourable conditions in the medium and longer term.

Negative Points:

The group’s operations and future projects are based in South Africa. The company is subsequently exposed to government and regulatory-related risks in South Africa.
Lonmin is a single commodity company and therefore displays greater earnings risk than a diversified metals and mining company.
The miner’s safety record has been in the spotlight with 6 fatalities recorded since the beginning of its 2011 financial year.
Operational disruption caused by workforce issues presented challenges for the group. During the year, ten production days were lost because of an illegal strike at its Karee operations.

Positive Points:

Lonmin targets sales of 750,000 platinum ounces in 2012, with the longer term goal to achieve its optimal capacity of 950,000 platinum ounces.
Platinum, besides being universally used in jewellery, is also used in catalytic converters that cut pollution from car exhausts.
The board recommended a final dividend of 15 cents per share, unchanged from last year.
Xstrata PLC, the global diversified mining group retained a 24.9% stake in Lonmin, following a failed takeover bid in 2008.

Consensus:
On balance, market consensus indicates a hold. Read the rest of the article

Kenya:The Triton Oil Scandal-How Did It Happen

Secret gag on UK Times preventing publication of Minton report into toxic waste dumping

 

WIKILEAKS:This document, as sent confidentially to the editor of the UK Times newspaper, contains variation on an existing secret High Court gag-order, a so-called “super-injunction”, blocking the UK press from disclosing the existence or contents of the “Minton Report” into toxic waste dumping by Trafigura, appearing on WikiLeaks. The order was first obtained against the Guardian on the 11th of September, 2009 and was updated several times, including on the 18th of September 2009.

The secret injunction caused a scandal in the UK on 12-13 October 2009, when lawyers for Trafigura, Carter-Ruck, told the Guardian that it prevented the Guardian reporting a parliamentary question by Paul Farrelly MP mentioning the Minton report. This contravened the longstanding assumption that the reporting of Parliament should not be hindered in any way.

Following parliamentary condemnation, Carter-Ruck agreed to amend the order so it would not apply to the Parliamentary record, but would, in all other ways, continue to gag the press.

This updated variation was then faxed to UK newspaper The Times on 16, October 2009.

The injuction, in all other respects, remains in effect at the time of posting this.

Africa:Stolen Oil-Toxic Waste

 

The Zambian government has asked the public to provide information on how dirty one of the oil companies is dealing with is. Here are some of the scandals Trafigura is involved in on the international scene
Trafigura linked to oil ‘looted’ from South Sudan

Commodities trader has bought containers of crude Sudan seized from its southern neighbour, industry insiders say. The Guardian of UK (Wednesday 8 February 2012) The Swiss-based commodities trader Trafigura has bought oil the South Sudanese government claims was seized by Sudan, its northern neighbour and former civil war enemy, according to industry sources. Trafigura is now in a legal dispute over ownership, the sources told Reuters. The tanker of crude oil is one of three seized cargoes, forming part of some $815m (£512m) in oil revenues, which South Sudan‘s president, Salva Kiir, accused Sudan of “looting”; the Sudanese government, in Khartoum, said the cargoes provided compensation for unpaid transit fees. Trafigura is now in a legal dispute over ownership, the sources told Reuters. The tanker of crude oil is one of three seized cargoes, forming part of some $815m (£512m) in oil revenues, which South Sudan‘s president, Salva Kiir, accused Sudan of “looting”; the Sudanese government, in Khartoum, said the cargoes provided compensation for unpaid transit fees. Landlocked South Sudan must pump its oil to the Red Sea via a pipeline across Sudan, to Port Sudan, to earn oil revenues, which account for 98% of the seven-month-old country’s income.

Trafigura fined €1m for exporting toxic waste to Africa

The oil trader Trafigura has been fined ¤1m (£840,000) for illegally exporting tonnes of hazardous waste to west Africa. It is the first time the London-based firm has been convicted of criminal charges over the environmental scandal, in which 30,000 Africans were made ill when the toxic waste was dumped in Ivory Coast. A court in the Netherlandsalso ruled today that the firm had concealed the dangerous nature of the waste when it was initially unloaded from a ship in Amsterdam. Eliance Kouassi, president of the victims’ group in Ivory Coast, said: “Finally Trafigura has been called out in a court of law. It’s a real victory for us.” The fine is, however, only half the amount sought by the Dutch prosecutors. Amsterdam district court judge Frans Bauduin also convicted a Trafigura employee and the Ukranian captain of the ship that carried the waste for their roles in the 2006 scandal.

'Take Flight … Missile … Unexpected',

 

In the days prior to the Opening Ceremony, the British media was dominated by the revelation that G4S, the private security company contracted to provide 10,400 security personnel, was unable to meet the target. A failure of such apparent catastrophic proportion that the British Army would be required to have more personnel based London than in Afghanistan!

So it was with a Naval Helicopter Carrier moored in the Thames, Missile Launchers located on the roofs of residential buildings and some 13,500 squaddies ‘policing’ East London’d Olympic Park, that Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony got underway at 9.00pm on the evening of Friday 27th July 2012. A ceremony that, as expected, was loaded with Occult symbolism from start to finish.

The outrageously corporatised London Olympics got off to a very slow start. Half empty venues and London resembling a veritable ghost town! The poor attendances being attributed to a combination of sponsors tickets going unused and issues with the ticketing website. However, all of these issues are disappearing into history as Team GB reaps unprecedented success in the medals haul. As we enter the final few days of this extravagant distraction, the British Government and the Banksters are making the most of being kept off the front pages of the National Media. Mervyn King (Governor of the Bank of England) holds a low key press conference to state that Britain’s Growth Forecast has been downgraded to 0%.

Buried in the middle pages are acknowledgements that UK property prices are falling and will continue to fall as the market stagnates, due to the almost complete absence of first time buyers. Meanwhile, Silvio Berlusconi (rightly) accuses Germany of pursuing an aggressive strategy towards achieving economic hegemony; whilst his treasonous countryman Mario Draghi seems to be doing what he can to support the German goal from his Chair as President of the European Central Bank.

The bottom line is that Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Italy no longer exist as Sovereign Nations. These Countries exist in ‘Name Only’ as they are effectively colonies of the European Commission. Totally incapable of any degree of economic self-determination, these EU Colonies are now totally dependent upon the ECB and the IMF. Meanwhile, there is little point in any other EU member nation feeling smug about their current economic and financial status as they are all on the brink (with the exception of Germany), of total economic collapse.

Meanwhile, the remarkable medal haul by Team GB has lifted the Country’s ‘Feelgood’ factor exponentially. The ticketing problems appear to have been resolved and buoyed by Team GB’s success, the British public are packing out every event. The level of euphoria now exceeding the levels achieved on 6th July 2005, when London was ‘unexpectedly’ awarded the 2012 XXX Olympiad. This Euphoria has lad to a massive upsurge in the demand for tickets to the paralympics which will run from Wednesday 29th August until Sunday 9th September. The following day will see London brought to a standstill with the Team GB ‘Victory Parade’. This is just one day prior to the 11th Anniversary of 9/11, which also happened to fall on a Tuesday.

All of which would suggest that any plans to stage an audacious ‘False Flag’ event at the Closing Ceremony may well have been put on ‘Hold’. If this is indeed the case, the efforts of the past five years will definitely not have been in vain. Whilst the Vultures are circling to denounce the ‘fear mongering’ I initiated back in July 2007, when I first presented the London Olympics Fake Alien Invasion hypothesis; the reality is that ‘Insight’ provides an opportunity to influence the outcome of a given situation.

Those who believe themselves to be the ‘Rightful Rulers of a Planetary Fiefdom’ are behind schedule in their quest for Global Dominion and are still scared sh*tless that 2012 could well be the Enochian ‘Year of Mystery’.

It is for this reason that I sense that we are not ‘Out of the Woods’ just yet. The Centre Piece of the Grand Finale in Sunday’s Olympic Closing Ceremony will feature a massive burning phoenix. In 1888, the phoenix became the official symbol of Atlanta, Georgia because it was “reborn” from the ashes after it was burned down in the American Civil War. Could it be that London might once again become a City that is about to go through something other than a symbolic rebirth?

At 08.12 on the morning of Friday 27th July, the day of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, Big Ben rang out across the capital. The bell was rung 40 times over the three minutes, finishing at 08:15 precisely.

The time of 08:12 was chosen to herald in the XXXth Olympiad as it was exactly 12 hours prior to 20:12; representing the year of the event. However, if we convert 08:12 & 2012 into date format, we have 08-12-2012; the date in US format of the closing ceremony. But why ring the bells for THREE minutes, culminating at 08:15? The potential significance of this was lost on me … until I realised that ‘Enola Gay’, recorded by OMD in 1981 was included in playlist of Danny Boyle’s Opening Ceremony.

The Lyrics of ‘Enola Gay’ are as follows:

Enola gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can’t describe the feeling and the way you lied

These games you play, they’re gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha enola gay, it shouldn’t ever have to end this way

It’s 8:15, and that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you’re coming home

Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it’s never ever gonna fade away

Enola gay, it shouldn’t ever have to end this way
Aha enola gay, it shouldn’t fade in our dreams away

It’s 8:15, and that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you’re coming home

Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it’s never ever gonna fade away

The lyrics to the song reflect on the decision to use an Atomic weapon at Hiroshima and ask the listener to consider whether the bombings were necessary:

“It shouldn’t ever have to end this way”).

The phrase:

“Is mother proud of Little Boy today?”

is an allusion to both the nickname of the uranium bomb, as well as the fact that pilot Paul Tibbets named the aircraft after his mother.

The phrase:

“It’s 8:15, and that’s the time that it’s always been”

refers to the precise time of detonation over Hiroshima at 8:15am JST.

Thus, on the afternoon of Saturday 28th July, at the 2012 Glastonbury Symposium, I presented the hypothesis that the potential for a False Flag event at the closing ceremony had perhaps been revised to the detonation of a limited nuclear device. Which as Ben Fellows had explained at ‘The Perfect Storm’ event, may actually be a conventional device but which would have potentially catastrophic effect when combined with all the hazardous waste material known to be buried under the Olympic park!

Then on Sunday 5th August my attention was drawn to the BBC iplayer link showing the Mens’ 100m final. At approx 38secs the words, ‘Take Flight … Missile … Unexpected’, flash up on screen for just one second! WTF is this all about?

Bolt_1

Then just a few days ago, I realised that every major British News outlet had run articles referring to the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, apparently stating that people may well be staying away from London because of his ‘Hiroshima Tube annoucements!

All this coupled with the fact that in recent weeks ‘major works’ have forced temporary closure of the Blackwall Tunnel (which runs under the 02 Arena), the Central Tube Line in the area where it runs under the Olympic Park, the elevated section of the M4 motorway in west London … and Larry Silverstein’s business partner, Frank Lowry, is the Executive Chairman & Co-founder of Westfield, which owns the Westfield Shopping Mall, adjacent to the Olympic Park.

Mars is for Martians August 6th was the 67th anniversary of Hiroshima and the day when the US landed the Curiosity Rover on Mars in search of Life on the Red Planet. Let’s hope that if there is ‘intelligent’ life in Mars, the arrival of ‘Curiosity’ was not viewed as a hostile act.

If this should be the case then Jeff Wayne may have been remarkably prescient in ‘War of the Worlds’; the lyrics of which include the following:

‘At midnight on the 12th of August … a huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towarts Earth. Across two-hundred-million miles of void invisibly hurtling towarts us came the first of the missiles that were bring so much calamity to Earth.’

With the Jerusalem Post running an Aug 8th Headline stating ‘Hezbollah can hit Europe anytime, without warning’, we probably don’t actually need to look off-planet if anything untoward should occur whilst the Spice Girls strut their stuff prior to the materialisation of the burning phoenix!

Of course, if such an event does occur it will no more be attributable to Hezbollah, than the events of 9/11 are attributable to 19 Muslims wielding plastic box cutters!

With BBC 2 showing a programme titled ‘London: The Modern Babylon’ tonight (Saturday) at 9.20pm and BBC3 showing ‘War of the Worlds’ at 8.10pm tomorrow (Sunday), as an alternative to the BBC 1 coverage of the Olympic Closing Ceremony, I sincerely hope that I am making 2+2 add up to something other than 4 … but even if we get through the Olympics without any major False Flag event and having just passed the fifth anniversary of Northern Rock’s collapse without any effort being made to abolish Fractional Reserve Banking, we are a long, long way from being ‘Out of the Woods’!

Either way, August 12th, 2012 will see the unleashing of a 130 day ‘War on Consciousness’ as the Socio-psychopathic globalists and their treasonous henchmen endeavour to ensure that Humanity does not awaken to its full potential and collectively come to the realisation of ‘Who We Truly Are’!

Let us never forget that it ain’t over until the fat lady sings … and she ain’t even warmed up yet!

Ian R Crane – 11th August 2012
