*Further evidence how serious Putin is about tackling the Chechen menace. Arrest people that aren't supposed to be there and send 'em packing. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the way it's done right! If Bush and the Neocons were serious about Islamic terror they'd done this within two months of 9/11. *
[URL=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/09/23/wruss23.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/09/23/ixnewstop.html]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/09/23/wruss23.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/09/23/ixnewstop.html[/URL]
Moscow police have detained more than 10,000 people in the past few days as part of a get-tough policy in the wake of the Chechen terrorist attack on a school.
Just under half of those detained are citizens of former Soviet republics who have come to the Russian capital to work illegally. A total of 840 have been deported, police said. Others are Russians without proper documents.
The announcement came as the Russian Duma began debating more than 40 anti-terrorism initiatives yesterday, setting aside all other business.
Proposals include the re-imposition of the death penalty, toughening resident registration laws and making it harder to buy, sell and borrow cars.
The Duma is also to discuss raising the salary of security agents involved in fighting terrorism - in an attempt to cut down on endemic bribe-taking. Officials have said that a failure to penetrate rebel groups coupled with widespread corruption in the security forces has left the country vulnerable to further terrorist attacks.
As if to underline the problem, authorities announced the arrest of a police captain, who is thought to have released two women last month at a Moscow airport. They went on to board flights before blowing themselves up killing 89 people.
Rounding up illegal workers in Moscow - who are thought to number about a million - is the standard response by Russian police after an act of terrorism. But many detainees pay a bribe to be released or return to Moscow from their home country with a fresh passport.
Other measures due to be proposed by Duma deputies include making an inventory of all weapons in Russia. Officials admit that tens of thousands of small arms are missing from stores across the country.

.[/QUOTE] Not so fast, pal. Suppose Putin is a Marrano and many of those 10,000 are "domestic terrorists"?
Perhaps, in the name of "war on terrorism" the FEMA concentration camps will get filled "terrorists" including "domestic terrorists" like Oklahomaman and Travis.

Putin's no crypto-jew. How do you explain his moves against the Jewish Oligarchs. The people the Russians are rounding up are illegal Muslim immigrants and legals who don't have their shit together. Now if Bush would only send the Arabs packing.

OK, You're probably right, but I would never make the positive assumption that any public figure is not a Marrano. After all, the Jews, for the most part, get to decide who is and who is not a public figure.
Vigilance.

There was a story last week in the Russian press about an elderly Ossetian who was stopped for looking like he was from the Caucus, taken to the local police station, and roughed up.
Turns out this guy was a Hero of the Soviet Union test pilot.
He screwed up by not having his passport with him. In Russia you must always have "your papers in order" or you're courting trouble.
