Oddly enough the most interesting shots of him were when he was plastered at public functions, dancing like a fool, and even hammered at a White House dinner. The only time he looked normal, was when he was making a speech on the tank, trying to save Gorbechov's ass from the throng.

I guess this definitely will be big news I do hope Yeltsin already scalds in HELL. This man wilfully deprived so many people of everything they had and never stopped short at human blood when he thought he would benefit from such a "final solution". I only regret he never stood trial for all he did. Bye-bye, Boris. Happy scorching.

I often disagree with the WSJ's editorial positions, but their reporting and analysis is among the best on the planet.

Two things that mix is oil and banking...together they represent greed. People should realize that when a bank lends money to a nation or a business or a individual the bank then has some control over the borrower. In terms of nations...usually taxes are used to repay the loan...meaning that the people suffer the burden. For bussines it's prices...which are then passed on to the consumer...or the people. And in individaul-it's an even more direct impact. But this is how the world works. Napolean is interesting to study becuase he was very anti world banking. Kennedy wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve. And the world banks funded the Russian Revolution. Anyway have to study it some more. But very interesting and easy to see. Yeah, and look what happened to Kennedy. In fact, there have been people throughout history who wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve or stop the 'Central Bankers.' If you read/research enough, it begins to portray an interesting picture. A lot of it starts to explain how things are. The events in the U.S. become more clear and you could even infer a bit on Russia. Interesting stuff. I have videos and sites if you want any. As for Russia, I think too many people put too much stock into Yeltsin and miss the big picture. Alternatively, a lot of Westerners do the same but in the opposite perspective. Americans think Yeltsin did well and accomplished a lot in dismantling the Soviet Union while Russians think he did the same but in an utmost damaging way. While this idea is valid, it misses the point that he operated in a grander scheme. The dismantling of the Soviet Union was timed. Or at least, the bankers capitalized on the events as they're opportunists. The role of the IMF is important here. People always assume that our leaders, our politicians want to serve and protect us. They're simply wrong. They want to maintain their power, control and money. They couldn't care two cents about the people. That goes for the American President. That goes for the Russian one. That goes for the majority of other politicians in other positions of power and influence. What is important is to look into facts and probabilities and be wary of the mainstream media.

Debeers is an American owned company when most people think it is owned by debeers. No there is some very well planned out things going on...by a select few

But he made a huge difference in the course of Russia's history. He did some good things, but he made many grave mistakes as well.
