IN THE
U.S., "A REVOLUTION...IS VIRTUALLY INEVITABLE"
Said a Jailed
Russian Businessman:

A Russian businessman jailed by the
United States government on conspiracy charges says that it’s all but
inevitable that the U.S. will undergo a revolution. Viktor Bout, who has been
locked up in a Marion, Illinois penitentiary since 2008, warned
that “great
changes” are looming in America.
Bout has
always maintained his innocence, according to RT, but
says there is no one to fight against those who seek the ultimate power of
control over others (politicians and their hired enforcers). The Russian was
arrested in Thailand during a U.S. sting operation and he was eventually
convicted in 2012 over conspiring to kill American citizens by allegedly
selling weapons to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), receiving
a quarter-century (25 years) jail term.
Bout has been experiencing health issues in jail, and the
man himself is reluctant to speak about his problems, saying that he was only
involved in a legitimate cargo business. But he did say that the U.S. legal
system has become a “cheap farce” where rulings are politically charged and
impossible to challenge legally. He warned that “great changes” are looming in
the U.S. He also condemned Russia for not coming to his aide while
simultaneously supporting the country.
“Russia’s authorities are aware of
all my problems. Why would I write tearful, moanful letters and ask for help? The
government and the embassy know what they should do. When an opportunity shows
up, I’m sure that they’ll take all the steps necessary,” Bout told the Izvestia newspaper
in an interview.
He says to “follow
the money” when looking for motives in the U.S. justice system.
The main and only reason behind Bout’s incarceration is
to “intimidate other Russians” so
that they give in to US demands, he added, wary of his own fate. “Regarding my
innocence – to whom I can prove it? To what system? Look at what is happening
in the United States. They
are trying to do what they’ve done to me not only to their distinguished
generals but the President himself. The American justice system has become a
cheap farce.“
“This
country is at the doorstep of great changes, and, in my opinion, a revolution,
which is virtually inevitable,” Bout added
according to RT.
“Many out there are ready for the civil war: on the two
sides, armed to the teeth and only waiting for the moment when someone starts
to spill blood,” Bout added.
Bout’s warnings come as politicians in Washington insist on
ramping up tensions with Moscow. “Over these years, I’ve formed an opinion that
the Americans are largely for good relations with Russia. At least, that’s how
it is for those who live in rural areas. The people are conservative, plain out
there, where I serve my term,” he stated, adding that the Russians
and the Americans actually have more things in common than dividing them.
Judge Shira
Scheindlin described her ruling against Bout to be “excessive and inappropriate,” noting that there was no evidence that Bout would have committed any
crime if he was not targeted by the sting operation. “It is not a criminal justice system,” Bout told RT, joking that “they can indict a ham sandwich in this country,” where
the judges are “rubber stamping anything the
government brings to them.”
