Central Bank of Russia tries to destroy Russian economy?
A quote...."The Central Bank intervenes often in a chaotic way, trying to keep up the rate of the currency at the time when there is no opportunity to keep it up at all. At times, the CB conducts the demonstration of the strengthening of the ruble, as it was in March-April 2014. If we look for opportunities for currency speculation, then we can  find it where certain players have access to insider information, - says Oksana Dmitrieva. - It should be clearly understood that attempts to strengthen the ruble and spend gold and currency reserves on these efforts, as was the case in 1998 and then in 2008, may lead to the collapse of the ruble value.""
This ENTIRE series of events reminds this website editor of what happened to California during the "energy crisis" of 2000, 2001. As everyone found out later, a company called Enron had totally ripped the state of California off for billions of dollars. California never got any of it back.  Enron had completely gamed the system.

They ran rings around the California Electricity Oversight Board (CEOB), joked about how they took down power stations at critical moments, re-routed power, and shut down, or "congested" power lines to reduce power output to the entire state of California while those at the CEOB were desperately on the phones trying to scrap up every kilowatt they could on the open market at five, six, ten times the going contracted rates to avoid rolling black-outs.

The state of California was ridiculed, along with the employees who warned a scam was being run on the peopel of California, while so-called "free-market" "conservatives" claimed it was the state's environmental policy that caused the crisis, because it prevented the construction of new power plants.

Enron employes were later caught, on tape, laughing about how they [expletive deleted] the grandmothers in California, how they used tricks called "Death Star", "Fat Boy", "Ricochet", "Black Widow", "Bigfoot" and "Get Shorty", how they utterly out-smarted the employees at the CEOB with their highly sophisticated computer programs, front running every one of their trades, knowing exactly how much power the state employees needed at any given moment and how to squeeze them to generate the maximum amount of revenue.

The power markets in California had been completely gamed, none of the information available the employees at the CEOB was real.  Just as the currency markets are now being completely gamed and none of the information available to the employees of Russia's Central Bank is real

Whatever the guys at Enron did, and how they did it, is exactly how the Banksters are doing it to Russia right now!
