The Oligarchs l Al Jazeera Investigations 

@01.. I think you are correct....That;s also why mplsridah should qualify his or her statement. It's a sweeping statement that's subject to anybody.

I don't have to take a look at who funds them, every news station gets funding from somewhere questionable. But I think AJ is probably the most credible news outlet out there.

Subjective, not subject, but I see what you're saying.

+mplsridah., Thanks I stand corrected, what I mean actually is AJ"s presentations whether they are hated or liked could be subject to anybody's appreciation of them. In my case as well as from many people I know, many of their presentations are disliked especially those that justify terrorism as a valid war being waged by freedom fighters who are being oppressed in a society they are in. We dislike them because they are partisan.

Because AJ=arabic jihad,and they hope Europe become eurabe

😂😂😂🤣🤣

Got that right! Al J & DW are trusted news outfits. The rest NO!

This is still not the not the whole truth about who's making money off of this WAR?? All of the elites. Their in the club. And like Carlin said, were not in their club. And never will be. Their club is not small,and their gean pool is weak and getting weaker, inbread swine. Currupt all across the map...

🤭u right

The 1%. In that percentage, there is a small circle that actually controls governments; have been since the 18th century.

@@1delta_10tangos And please define what measure you are using when you describe the 1%. The 1% on a global measure is much less than that of the 1% in the US (US$ 515,000 in 2021) and much less than the 1% for Connecticut (US$ 896,000 in 2021) based on taxable income. Whereas in India they only need US$ 81K to form part of the 1%. Which do you mean, because there are a lot of people in the West, you and I quite probably, who are in the global 1%.

You are wrong or more likely inaccurate and confusing a wealth generation cycle that advantages a super elite in the west. Oligarchs, how the terms is used today, means kleptocrat and most commonly Russian kleptocrats because besides China, Russia has the most oligarchs/kleptos. Basically, those whose wealth is stolen directly or nearly so from the government and resources that should belong to the country. Kleptocracy is much more common outside the US and the West in countries with virtually no rule of law. In the US and Europe, we have many who are wealthy from or a combination of rigged stock market, legacy wealth which imparts an unfair advantage in capital and basically a small group of super wealthy who use their financial advantage to keep growing their share of the pie in a way that is unhealthy for society.

What’s most amazing about your statement is that this entire piece isn’t even about a Russian oligarch. So, WTF are you talking about? It also never says let alone implies oligarchs are just in Russia. In fact, they even specifically cite oligarchs outside of Russia.

​@@The_ZeroLineWherever you have the chosen ones, you have oligarchs. There are more in the US and Western Europe.

Fascinating , the filthy rich get away with anything

“Ukraine in Fire” & “Revealing Ukraine” by Oliver Stone would be a good start. This documentaries were done many years before this. Pay attention to who is involved in anything you read or watch (especially NGOs).

Yes, I'm rewatching this. These oligarchs all had connections to Russia, but also to the financial systems in the West. Also, noted the tRump connection.... Unfortunately, not sure how much follow-up that will get, IMO unpleasant scenarios were mentioned around the NYC prosecutors, hence the cold feet. People don't think that stuff happens in the US. I understand there are even "offshore" type banks in some states. This corruption is going to devour us from the inside out.

@@erinmcdonald7781 Hunter Biden is connected to Kolomoisky….as well as Zelenski….

Zelensky ran on an anti-corruption in 2019 campaign and was wildly successful, winning 70% of the vote. He's been wildly successful in purging many of the corrupt politicians and judges and corrupt prosecutors from the system. Deleveraging Russia influance from UA is the start of this war. Russia is attacking because they are unable to control and exploit UA in the manor they have been for decades.

I wrote my comment before I read yours. You proved me correct,

It's as if they were funded by some western government

@@pvb876287 purest eay ! I'm not so sure your correct

who ever tells the truth are gold.

Exactly, it will be even worse, much worse, with them.

Ha! Al-Jazeera works for western oligarchs. Hence the British accents in this vid. Its called distraction. Look over there so you don't look over here.

*USA has oligarchs, EU is pure. None in Germany or Sweden*

Germany and sweden also dirty, their media contral by liberal，and the queen Elizabeth II is a alien lizard woman

lol. there have been. do research: "fiscal oligarchs [your country's name]"

Ukraine was a Soviet grain silo. Which was called "Stalins gold". It's probably the best farming land in the WORLD. It's feeding half of Europe. And those pore people are starving now.

Unfortunately if you are not the "right" side literally. You will be "left" out!

Putin is trying to recoupe the loot

@@nebojsanesic5326 not only Ukraine is starving, the Middle East is also going to starve, considering that they are heavily dependent on Ukrainian grain.

@@souvikrc4499 I do not doubt that. There will be no grain sawing this spring in Ukraine and that can't bode well for anybody. The price of fuel in the Europe is going up every day.

nothing about Roman Abramovich back then...

Expose THE WORLD OLIGARCHS. THERE'S NO NATIONALITY ANYMORE. JUST THE UBERRICH AND THE REST OF US

Capitalist you mean?😂

@@OneAdam12Adam when it's about west you generalised. Typical. All corrupt money always ends up in Europe. The centre of all evil

This aged poorly....see what's happening now, is the main difference between The US and Russia.

@@DweeD1516 yes the difference us can keep doing all the bad things others can't

Right!!! It's driving me nuts.

What do we make off zelenski..... Can we trust him .....??? What if this renewed war .... Is dejavoo!!!

Without motives? Hahahahaha

Yes, and it explains why the Russian army is useless! The Military all the way up to the dictator Putin is corrupt.

ja they will soon follow the dots

and great viewing

@@ardeladimwit and the corruption of Hilary and her cronies: why is nobody on mainstream media talking about the Durham Report?

It's all a matter of time. Authorities are still after Donald Trump. He will get snagged . . . so, will the banks ! 💀 🇺🇸

ahhh ... aahhhhh..... aaaaahhhhh.... aaaahhh Deutsche Bank TCHOOO!!!

They're called Khazars pretending to be Jewish but they worship a demonic entity. The kalergi plan is in effect, they want to make a one world government to rule and make everyone slaves after taking out the white races. They look white but internally don't consider themselves white.

Finally, someone with their eyes opened! These oligarchs come in all sizes and shapes.

There should be parliamentary vote for the maximum amount of money that one can own ,and with a must to pay taxes

Usually is called cronies. But oligarchs are special case, they involve mafia, assassins, they will kill for power, money. The most famous oligarchs are the 7 bankers in russia during Boris era, and now Putin has his own oligarchs (inner circle) to help him stay in power.

Lol there is no such thing in Canada, it seems you think your reality is everyone's reality. Or you confuse dominators (whatever that means), businessman and oligarch. Oligarchs are rich businessmen who are close to the seat of power and are using that power to get richer without competition. So basically businessmen corrupting politicians. Or politicians corrupting businessmen. In Canada, if you do this, you will be accused of fraud, collusion, etc. Of course some people try it anyway, some get arrested, some get away with it but it's relatively rare. My former neighbor told me he imigrated from India because he was tired of corruption among other things. Personally, my family is quite rich so I know quite a few people that you might think are corrupted because they are rich but the truth is that while many people try to avoid to pay taxes (still they end up paying a lot), the rich got rich because they did the things other people were not capable or couragous enough to do : study a lot, work 24/7, saving money instead of speading, invest money, take huge risks, try hard projects, hire people, motivate people, etc. They created value. Yes many people are trying to work the least and earn the most and I guess it's normal somehow. But no oligarchs are not everywhere but maybe corruption is everywhere in your country ?

Biden is willing to risk WWIII to save this corrupt failed state? Let Putin have it!

@Brother so do brits, does that mean crimes committed by their monarchs should be forgiven

@Brother of course not, royals never committed crime, they committed terrorism not to Qataris but to several innocent nations by funding Hama's, Hezbollah, Muslim brotherhood and the list doesn't even fit in this comment

@Brother normal countries don't fund terrorists, if you think that's normal that says something about yourself.

@Brother ok got it thanks for the wisdom, everyone is terrorist understood ✌️.

@Brother and by the way keep watching Al Jazeera and it's hypocritical and double standard journalism it will successfully prevent you from falling into misleading western propaganda

And they all fear comunists, i can imagine why.

Fake news, fake net worth, try 700 billion, they all have waay more hiding, than you'd expect, especially the shady ones.

@@monica46549841 do you have any proof

All of silica valley is hiding tax money with off shore accounts

​@SahibSingh-ch8lg circumstantial yes but you would never have clear cut evidence

Shut up cuzz.

Carpet-bomb tax havens

4 years later and what's been done about it? It's become worst.

They won’t do that . These man are powerful that Al Jazeera don’t want to play it .

The US is a big fish They won't dare

That's too dangerous

The US has a high per capita income and most of it's citizens there live better than all but few countries....yes there is corruption but not to the extent of causing poverty

@@aroundtheworld2316 US also happens to have a huge inequality that is getting bigger each year. Plus their oligarchs control the world, not just a couple of countries, so their methods cause poverty in other countries first.

😭😭😭

Humans are parasites

@@James_the_Builder Only the elites the rest don't have to be and can eliminate ALL elites overnight. The problem is they are dumbed down distracted brainwashed and divided.

@@James_the_Builder Absolutely..... parasites, GARBICHES AND TRASHES!!!!!!!!!

Al Jazeera should come to America and film how Our elected officials live off of the Salary that they accepted for Our Vote and as Our Representatives... and do not neglect to ask them where they keep their Big Donor Money, and Do Ask them what TIME of the 24 Hour day they use for representing their Big Donors, and what all they are TOLD to Do for the Big Donor Money. Oh, and ask them how they split the hours, the days and THE VOTE in order to keep from being Known to have a CONflict of INTEREST.

@@eltorocal Unfortunately the election's are just a show. The so called 'elected' officials are immune to most laws. They also pass the laws at the behest of lobbyists. They even decide on their own salaries and healthcare packages that don't exist elsewhere in the USA. They don't really work either just pathologically lie as traitors, hypocrites, and criminals against humanity. They have unpaid/paid interns and secretaries etc whom do the bulk of their 'work' as it were for them. The list goes on and on of course speaking the truth. Or going against the narrative is a big no no in the USA most especially. Helps when the corporate oligarchy and system have a monopoly on truth unfortunately we're screwed. They would not be permitted to report or engage in any form of real journalism. Only a scripted narrative/agenda even IF they could. Anyone who refuses ends up much like Chris Hedges blacklisted from most IF not all MSM.

Let's hope they can now make one on our oligarchs here in the US!

@@MegaGman61 Remember the Panama papers? Don't think much was done about that.

thomasfholland god is one and jesus is his messenger ..

Money is amoral. Its the people behind it that decide

To understand how to deal with the cause of the issue and find solutions to it you might want to do some reading on tromsite dot com. I found 'The Choice Is Ours' quite enlightening too.

You will free more free and in tune with the world when you are less rich trust me

In short.. the religion of Judaism.

CNN like all American media is run by the Kosher Nostra

They are good at pointing fingers at others

Uk enjoys the looted money of poor countries

What is the difference between an Oligarch and a believer? Both get to enjoy their good life by having the right connections! So much for all out big talk on morals and ethics

@@paceventura Most people on this earth see God as their ticket to an everlasting good life in Heaven, no different from these Oligarchs or Prostitutes or leeches, who seek the rich powerful guy - sing his praises, claim to "love" him (these words are familiar to theists, aren't they?) - and hope to live a rich, comfortable life "Get down on our knees, swear belief and loyalty to only this God and no other, beg for his mercy and be amply rewarded!" Such a mentality has led to so much division and hate based on religion, so many innocents killed! In the 21st century! I keep asking where are the moral, the educated? the media?

Your country is built on this sort of business practice 🤣🤣🤣 get over it

Ignore the cynics commenting here. This kind of exposure is HEALTHY no matter what corruption is exposed no matter where. Good job!!!

I'm rooting for Africanism on the African continent

Muscleless money .

Stop being stupid and making decisions for others. You think communists or socialists wint steal? Go away and grow up for several more years

They can rope in any name at.their will, that's the power the need media is honored with for their dishonorable service.

Probably!

It hasn’t been proven yet that Trump was a money launderer for decades. I think he is far from alone & the powers that be fear their own exposure, so for now the unsubstantiated claims of crime is all we have to go on.

lol How is this Oligarch any different from religious people who think they will get to enjoy Heaven thanks to their connections? Neither EARN their good life - both beg & grovel to the highest and are handsomely rewarded, while the reward for these oligarchs is real, all these believers get is a cheap promise, the stupid fools! And yes both have killed, raped & tortured innocents those that did not want to join them & support their "dear, loving leader" So much for all our big talk on morals and values

The bigger they r the harder the fall. Mark 13 : 1 - 11/.😇🌏🎇🏧🤔

You misspelled socialists.

It was , when the US became the USA. Don't know what happened after that.

that man was not a oligarch,none of oligarchs in London are fugitives,there are paying for your brexit.

Today's aljazeera is diferrent

Al Jazeera is an umbrella for the elites biased and double standard scumbang news network
