GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, COMRADE
This morning, while checking my email, a good friend and close associate sent me an article from Financial Times regarding the latest rumbles in the Kremlin. Long time readers of the Swamp Fox Files know that I have watched Russia for a long time. I do not think the Bear is dead, nor even asleep. This past summer should have been enough to prove once and for all that Russia is still a great power. More than that, she will push, and bully her agenda through just as she always has.
Now the latest goings on seems to be that the new president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev is getting a little bold. My friend wonders if perhaps Putin is losing control over his hand-picked puppet successor.
Medvedev told reporters that "The final responsibility for what happens in the country and for the important decisions taken would rest on my shoulders alone and I would not be able to share this responsibility with anyone."
Yeah. Did your people check with Vlad's people before saying that?
If I were the Russian president's adviser, I would warn him to watch his step, or he will met with an untimely end and/or corruption charges. Vladimir Putin will not put up with this insolence very long.
As it is, Vlad is attempting to have the Russian "Constitution" changed so that he can be reinstated as President. I think Medvedev's new found attitude of "think for Dmitry" is due to the fact that he does not want to lose his seat...even if he is being controlled. If he can prove that he can think and act on his own, then maybe...just maybe the Russian Parliament will rebel against Vlad as well.
In the end, Vlad will be reinstalled as president of the Russias. I predicted a couple of years ago that Vladimir Putin disparately wants to be Tsar, and would become Tsar. Medvedev will disappear like Snowball the Pig in Animal Farm. And the Russian people will come to believe that the Russian Constitution always said that Vlad could serve for life, and that they had been deceived by the Western-sympathizing Medvedev.

BOOK REVIEW: ANIMAL FARM
Animal Farm
By George Orwell
Signet Classics
It is amazing that after 60 years, a socialist still has many lessons for us. As is the case with Orwell’s other classic novel, 1984, we have yet to learn anything from Animal Farm.
While Orwell obviously wrote Animal Farm as a piece of political satire about Stalin’s Soviet Union, it still has a lot to say about socialism in general. Despite all of its rosy dreams, prophecies and promises, socialism never works. It may work for the elite, but never for the people.
The animals thought they were solving their problems. They thought they were building a better future. However, they eventually discovered they only changed one master for another. Instead of being slaves to man, they became slaves to the pigs.
In America, we are much like the animals of Animal Farm. We fervently hold to the idea that “all men are created equal”. We listen to and willingly accept the promises of smooth-talking politicians. But those promises are never fulfilled, and while all men maybe created equal, we are quick to find out that some are more equal than others.

Genetically modified humans: Here and more coming soon
New Scientist
Now a research team in the UK is experimenting with creating three-parent embryos. This time, the goal is to prevent children inheriting a rare group of serious diseases caused by faulty mitochondria, the powerhouses in our cells. Mitochondrial diseases affect at least 1 in 8000 people, probably more, and there are no treatments.

Scientists plan to ignite tiny man-made star
It is science’s star experiment: an attempt to create an artificial sun on earth — and provide an answer to the world’s impending energy shortage.

What's Inside Darpa's $21 Million 'Liquid' Laser?
By David Hambling/WIRED
The 150 kW laser is meant to be integrated with an existing fire-control system and will demonstrate the ability to shoot down tactical targets including surface-to-air missiles and rockets. That would be quite something: a fighter jet which can shoot down any missiles fired at it. Suddenly stealth doesn’t seem quite so important, when the air defenses can see you but can't touch you. Cannon fire from other aircraft might still be a threat, but what are the chances of anyone getting close enough before you laser them?

Protectionist dominoes are beginning to tumble across the world
The riots have begun. Civil protest is breaking out in cities across Russia, China, and beyond.
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard/TELEGRAPH (UK)
Greece has been in turmoil for 11 days. The mood seems to have turned "pre-insurrectionary" in parts of Athens - to borrow from the Marxist handbook. This is a foretaste of what the world may face as the "crisis of capitalism" - another Marxist phase making a comeback - starts to turn two hundred million lives upside down.
