Alexei Navalny’s investigative video about “Putin’s Palace” has been viewed millions of times. It mentions many Russians — and one German. How is Matthias Warnig, a business manager and former Stasi agent, involved?
Matthias Warnig is, in various ways, an exceptional person. The 65-year-old is the oldest German friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the most active German in Russian business circles. He is a former Stasi agent who became a banker in the 1990s. Since then, he has sat on the supervisory boards of numerous German-Russian banks and companies.
He is currently the CEO of Nord Stream 2, and happens to play a part in the latest YouTube video by Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), in which Russian opposition activists uncover an extensive network of corruption around the construction of a palatial estate for the Russian president on the Black Sea coast.
In the video, Navalny mentions Warnig when talking about an exchange of letters between Putin’s ex-wife Lyudmila and a German friend of hers in the mid-1990s. One of the letters was sent from Warnig’s fax machine. The Russian opposition leader, citing a DW article, says that Warnig gave financial assistance to Putin, a former KGB officer in Dresden, and his family. It’s thought the two may have met through their respective secret services in the former East Germany, but the official line is that they only made contact later, in St. Petersburg, after both had changed profession.
Meeting Putin ‘not a problem’
Warnig likes to avoid publicity. He prefers to operate in the background. The Austrian newspaper Die Presse published an interview with him in 2018, in which he was asked how often he meets Putin. Warnig answered that the Russian president didn’t have a mobile phone, before adding: “But if I want something and need to see him, we arrange it.”
In the 20 years Putin has ruled Russia, Warnig has become the most influential German business manager in the Russian economy.
In Die Presse, Warnig said he had accepted these positions for two reasons, which were both coincidental and mutually dependent. “I accepted most of the seats on supervisory boards in 2012,” he said. “Nord Stream 1 was completed in 2012, and my contract was about to run out. So I was open to taking on new assignments. At the same time there was a conflict between the then president, Dmitri Medvedev, and the government. Medvedev decreed that all ministers and senior civil servants had to give up their positions on supervisory boards. And then they needed people to fill these posts.”
He dismissed speculation that, as Putin’s confidant, he exercised a degree of control over the running of the business. “No, absolutely not. I’m not a Kremlin mouthpiece. And I don’t report to the Kremlin, either, or have cozy chats about what goes on there.”
‘I’m not a Kremlin mouthpiece. And I don’t report to the Kremlin’…
Just take out the words ‘not’ and ‘don’t’ and there you have the truth.
Rats like him and Shroeder are scum; as low as she kremkrappers.

Very clearly a servant of Russia then and now. Along with countless others no doubt. Stasi Merkel has invited IRA Joe for a visit. The objective, amongst others, will be to get him to soft-pedal on Russia and build a wedge between America and Britain.
Bingo!
I read quite a bit on various US sites to get a balanced opinion, usually Fox and CNN. Recently CNN have been publishing a lot of anti UK articles, usually warning about the imminent collapse of the UK after Brexit. Here is the latest one.

These globalist pissers fuck with anybody who does not fit into their one (3rd) world scheme.
The UK has a conservative government. Had it been a labour government, the Dems run media would be all over the the UK. I see no “special relationship” between the UK and US in the next 4 years.
There will always be a special relationship between the American people and the Anglos in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Southern Germany. It’s called brotherhood. Politicians are not the people, most are corrupt sackless fuckers. Still i hope that Joe will prove us wrong in many ways.
I was referring to the politicians, not the general public. Americans and British will always be friends, despite asshole politicians.
Unfortunately, the leftist fossil Biden has already placed a wedge between us and the Brits. That asshole has removed the bust of Churchill from the Oval Office … just like the dickless coward Obumer had done … without the fat Muslim’s help.

Reading statements from filth like Warnig is like reading a very bad fiction story but without the entertaining element.
In other words, a waste of time.
Maybe our Congress’ attention on this shit nugget has been drawn by Navalny’s video and will prepare a nice hammer hard sanction.
I have no doubt the CIA have quite a large dossier on this stasi creep. Time to release some kompromat on him, and his buddy Schroeder.
