Complaints storm the internet about this sentence for a Wall Street journalist on espionage charges…

I do not know anything about this gentleman that faces this unfortunate situation, but I know a lot about Wall Street, the headquarters of many investment banks, government and municipal securities dealers, trust companies, utilities, insurance companies, and brokerage firms have also been located in the district. Wall Street is a worldwide symbol of high finance and investment and, as such, has entered modern mythology. The center of world wide speculation-ism and multinational investment hedge funds that invest rich peoples money in strange investments that buy in shady circumstances government backed assets from around the world, especially from poor countries, and rent them back to the poor population, or lead a team of cyber “hawks” to investigate how the capital and markets move around the world to enforce wild or unfair speculation… Wall Street represents everything Russia had to throw out in order to build the strong economy that made Russia one of the very few, less than one hand’s fingers counted nations that are really supremely independent, a nation that now can comfortably afford to wage an war of reclaiming back its historic land from Ukraine with real money pegged to gold, not by printing vain currency…

The message is clear: Wall Street, stay away from Russia, mind your speculations somewhere else.

I am afraid in China and BRICS they will meet the same very blunt and firm harsh confrontation.

A mother is ready to fight with anyone and not even allow a possible threatening person approach even they might not be. Why would not a government be so much more concerned with guarding the Russian economy and what would be wrong in expelling such a person? Forget about some journalist that has the right to report from Russia and genuinely fail to hide their “real” intentions, Russian people’s well being is more important than some uninvited Wall Street journalist.

There is no reason for Wall Street Journalist to be in Russia other than speculative intentions and that is already against Russian common sense. But mind you, I am sure he was one of those hawks trying to find out how the Russian economy works so that they, Wall Street can understand how to “short” it. “To short” in Wall Street language, or shorting, refers to selling a security first and buying it back later, with anticipation that the price will drop and a profit can be made. They buy and sell from people that do not know what they know about the drop or rise of the price and the fact that they know and the seller or buyer they deal with do not know already put them in an unethical position.

That is why this journalist was there, to find out how the Russian markets and capital movement.

Also Russia is already tired of being accused and denigrated by the West. I am sure that this journalist was not writing great things about Russia and if he was writing anything real or true, it was put in terms that was still throwing dirt on Russian realities.

The Western world journalist do not realise that Russia is not prepared to accomodate Western journalist for the hospitality sake. If journalists do not have anything to appreciate Russia for, they are not welcome in Russia. There is a fine line between freedom of opinion and good manners on someone’s own yard, and Russia mind that fine line very strictly.

Russia is so tired of being denigrated as Vladimir Putin contemplates the idea to ban YouTube in Russia. Russia has its own internet cables RUNET, does not have any Microsoft data centers or cables on its territories and its RUNET works very well on its own.

Unfair speculation of government backed assets is a crime and if the Western world does not condemn this crime, it does not make it any less than what it is, a crime.

Russia says to all Wall Street aspirants: NIET! (NO)
