Is Saddam in Russia?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

SubTitle: Russian co-operation with Saddam?

I have been reminding people for a long time that Saddam’s Iraq is a product of Russia,
and that the Russians are really helping him, and guiding him. On the occasions that I
watched CNN, I never saw them pointing out that his Baath Party really is a communist
party. However, once, when I watched Sky News from the UK, they had a long discussion about
this aspect of Saddam. Saddam is really a communist dictator – in no way different to
Fidel Castro or Robert Mugabe.

It was therefore of great interest to me when I heard a most interesting news report
on the SABC TV news in South Africa saying that the CIA were convinced Saddam was hiding
in the Russian embassy. But this news report seems to have been largely ignored by the
US media. However, it was on the national news here in South Africa, and also in The Citizen,
which is one of the major newspapers here.

I asked Jeff Rense if he had any news reports about Saddam and Russia, and this is what he
sent me:-


Jazeera – Saddam Seeking Asylum In Russia

Al Jazeera, the Qatar based news agency, is reporting that Saddam
Hussein may be attempting to negotiate an last minute agreement that
would give him safe transport out of Baghdad. And there were
unconfirmed reports that Hussein has taken refuge in the Russian
embassy in the Iraqi capital.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Moscow reported earlier today that the
Russian delegation that came under fire from US forces as it left
Baghdad on 7 April may have been dealing with senior representatives
of the Iraqi government in guaranteeing a safe exit for Saddam
Hussein.

“This explains the lack of resistance by the Republican Guard and
Iraqi forces,” a Russian general told Al-Jazeera on condition of
anonymity.

Akram Khouzam, Al-Jazeera’s reporter in Moscow, reports that the
general’s claim may explain the absence of organized resistance in
Iraq, even in the capital itself where communications could not have
been disrupted completely.

Meanwhile Berri pointed out that Russian ambassador Vladimir
Titorenko had returned to Baghdad after evacuating it on Saturday,
following a visit to Moscow by US National Security Advisor
Condoleezza Rice.

“Saddam Hussein could have found refuge in the Russian embassy in
Baghdad,” Berri told journalists, giving no further backing for his
statement.

Here is the story that was printed in The Citizen newspaper in Johannesburg:-
(Note, the SVR below is none other than the renamed KGB)


MOSCOW – Russia yesterday denied reports that it was sheltering Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein in its embassy in Baghdad.

“This type of claim absolutely does not and cannot correspond with reality,” Russian
foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said.

The speaker of the Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri suggested that Saddam could have
found refuge in Russia’s Baghdad embassy as US forces took control of the Iraqi capital.

Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov urged the US to ensure the safety of Russian
diplomats in Baghdad, three days after a convoy carrying the Russian ambassador,
Vladimir Titorenko, came under fire as it headed from Baghdad towards Syria.

Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service yesterday denied media reports that it may
have sent secret Iraqi archives to Moscow with diplomats evacuating Baghdad.

“These claims have been plucked from nowhere and are completely unfounded,” SVR
spokesman Boris Labusov said.

The Nezauisimaya Gazeta newspaper wrote yesterday that events suggested SVR
operatives who arrived in Iraq shortly before the war intended to remove Iraqi
intelligence files and other documents to Russia.

Transporting the material with the Russian diplomats that left the Iraqi capital on
Sunday could explain the harassment of their convoy and the shooting incident that
left several officials and a driver wounded.

Titorenko, who was lightly injured in the attack, has said US troops opened fired
knowing that it was a diplomatic mission.

The archives in question could shed light on Saddam’s financing of certain Russian
political organisations and provide access to intelligence gathered by Iraqi agents in
other countries, according to the newspaper. – Sapa-DPA.

There is nothing in these stories that seems like disinformation to me. The denials by
Russian intelligence have no value. I am always highly skeptical of their claims.

This report makes sense in the light of the US attack on the Russian diplomats.

To date Saddam has not been found yet, and nobody seems to be speculating or caring much
about where he might be. My general feeling is that there might be truth in this story.
If anyone comes across more revelant information about this, I would be most interested,
but this is as much as I can get my hands on at the moment.

Finally, here is another report showing just how much the Russians assisted Saddam. It really
blows the cover on a number of very important issues. Notice too, in these intelligence
documents, how cozy Tony Blair is with Putin. I believe Tony Blair is a closet communist
and he may be cozier with the Russians than he should be. I wouldn’t trust him either.


Revealed: Russia spied on Blair for Saddam
By David Harrison
(Filed: 13/04/2003)

Top secret documents obtained by The Telegraph in Baghdad show that Russia
provided Saddam Hussein’s regime with wide-ranging assistance in the
months leading up to the war, including intelligence on private
conversations between Tony Blair and other Western leaders. Moscow also
provided Saddam with lists of assassins available for “hits” in the West
and details of arms deals to neighbouring countries. The two countries
also signed agreements to share intelligence, help each other to “obtain”
visas for agents to go to other countries and to exchange information on
the activities of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qa’eda leader. The documents
detailing the extent of the links between Russia and Saddam were obtained
from the heavily bombed headquarters of the Iraqi intelligence service in
Baghdad yesterday. The sprawling complex, which for years struck fear into
Iraqis, has been the target of looters and ordinary Iraqis searching for
information about relatives who disappeared during Saddam’s rule. The
documents, in Arabic, are mostly intelligence reports from anonymous
agents and from the Iraqi embassy in Moscow. Tony Blair is referred to in
a report dated March 5, 2002 and marked: “Subject – SECRET.” In the
letter, an Iraqi intelligence official explains that a Russian colleague
had passed him details of a private conversation between Mr Blair and
Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister, at a meeting in Rome. The
two had met for an annual summit on February 15, 2002, in Rome. The
document says that Mr Blair “referred to the negative things decided by
the United States over Baghdad”. It adds that Mr Blair refused to engage
in any military action in Iraq at that time because British forces were
still in Afghanistan and that nothing could be done until after the new
Kabul government had been set up. It is not known how the Russians
obtained such potentially sensitive information, but the revelation that
Moscow passed it on to Baghdad is likely to have a devastating effect on
relations between Britain and Russia and come as a personal blow to Mr
Blair. The Prime Minister declared a “new era” in relations with President
Putin when they met in Moscow in October 2001 in the aftermath of the
World Trade Center attacks. In spite of warnings by the British
intelligence and security services of increasing Russian espionage in the
West, Mr Blair fostered closer relations with Mr Putin, visiting his
family dacha near Moscow, supporting the Russians in their war in
Chechnya, and arranging for the Russian president to have tea with the
Queen. Mr Blair was surprised and dismayed when Mr Putin joined France in
threatening to veto the American and British resolution on Iraq in the UN,
but continued to differentiate between President Putin and President
Jacques Chirac. The Prime Minister refused to join the French, German and
Russian leaders in their summit on Iraq this weekend, but still regarded
Mr Putin as an ally in global politics. The list of assassins is referred
to in a paper dated November 27, 2000. In it, an agent signing himself
“SAB” says that the Russians have passed him a detailed list of killers.
The letter does not describe any assignments that the assassins might be
given but it indicates just how much Moscow was prepared to share with
Baghdad. Another document, dated March 12, 2002, appears to confirm that
Saddam had developed, or was developing nuclear weapons. The Russians
warned Baghdad that if it refused to comply with the United Nations then
that would give the United States “a cause to destroy any nuclear
weapons”. A letter from the Iraqi embassy in Moscow shows that Russia kept
Iraq informed about its arms deals with other countries in the Middle
East. Correspondence, dated January 27, 2000, informed Baghdad that in
1999 Syria bought rockets from Russia in two separate batches valued at
$65 million ((194)Â(163)£41 million) and $73 million ((194)Â(163)£46 million). It also says that
Egypt bought surface-to-air missiles from Russia and that Kuwait –
Saddam’s old enemy – wanted to buy Russian arms to the value of $1
billion. The Russians also informed Iraq that China had bought military
aircraft from Russia and Israel at the end of 1999. Moscow also passed on
information of Russians who could help Iraqi politicians obtain visas to
go to many Western countries. The name of Osama bin Laden appears in a
number of Russian reports. Several give details of his support for the
rebels in Chechnya. They say bin Laden had built two training camps in
Afghanistan, near the Iranian border, to train mujahideen fighters for
Russia’s rebel republic. The camps could each hold 300 fighters, who were
all funded by bin Laden. Training materials found at the complex give
insight into the Iraqi intelligence gathering methods. One certificate
shows that a Rashid Jassim had passed an advance course in lock-picking.
Other papers found at the headquarters include reports on the succession
in Saudi Arabia and on US-Yemen relations. The intimate relationship
between Baghdad and Moscow is further illustrated by copies of Christmas
cards – in the Christian tradition – sent by Taher Jalil Habosh, the head
of the Iraqi intelligence service, to his Kremlin counterpart. Russia has
been a key ally of Baghdad since the 1970s and was one of Saddam’s main
arms suppliers. The Iraqis are understood to owe Moscow more than (194)Â(163)£8
billion for arms shipments. Russian oil companies had longed to forge
links with Saddam Hussein to help develop Iraq’s vast oil reserves. 25

All in all, from the above one can see all the things the Russians were up to along
with Saddam – but, remember, the most secret and incriminating things may have been
spirited away. Even so, it shows how closely Iraq and Russia worked. Note too, the
mention that Russian espionage of the West has been on the increase in recent years.
The Cold War is far from over. Russia is still the main enemy.
