Secret services behind French riots - Zhirinovsky

MOSCOW. Nov 7 (Interfax) - The current developments in France result from new political methods and the actions of the secret services, State Duma Vice-Speaker and leader of the Russian Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky told Interfax on Monday.

"These are new political methods. The current situation in France was planned in advance - secret services are behind the riots, their goal is to bring a pro-American leader to power in 2007," he said.

Zhirinovsky does not think similar riots possible in Russia.

People from former French colonies are taking part in the French unrest, he said. In fact, this is their revenge on Frenchmen for living a poorer life. "In this country the situation is different: former citizens of the Soviet Union come to Russia, we give them jobs and they live better than Muscovites," he said.

Xenophobia and ethnic tensions in Russia are incited on purpose "to intimidate people and make them vote for the ruling party," he said.

"People are being scared with red and brown threats," Zhirinovsky said. Muscovites were shown the brown threat when right-wing forces held a march in Moscow on November 4, and they will be shown the red threat when left-wing forces celebrate the November 7 holiday, he added.

This is being done to make Muscovites vote for United Russia on December 4, Zhirinovsky said.

According to our Russian roomate, Russians speak about Zhirinovsky the same way we talk about Howard Dean.

Zhirinovsky is the George Galloway of Russia. Only Zhirinovsky has been at it longer than Galloway

If only this were true.

My Russian wife claims Zhirinovsky is insane, and so do most of the Russians I know. Some Americans like to portray this nutcase as being representative of Russian views. They could not be more wrong.

I have heard that he has a map of Russia hanging in his office that includes Alaska.

I translate that to mean "he's a legend in his own mind"

How soon before this makes its way into the Democrats' talking points?

"Zhirinovsky does not think similar riots possible in Russia. "

Chirac used to say the same thing.

"According to our Russian roomate, Russians speak about Zhirinovsky the same way we talk about Howard Dean."

What he or she might not have told you, is that the Rodine Party also blames the USA with a lot of conspiracy stories. The Russian Federation joined the Chinese PLA not long ago, to tell the USA to get all of its military posts out of Asia. And here's another tidbit.

The currently prevailing fascist Party consolidated by proponents of the "Church of Mother Russia" (Christian Orthodox) is not much less dangerous than the various Communist parties.

And as is commonly known, Russia is also holding on to Iran and Syria as military allies and providing them with medium range and other arms.
