Top Russian official blasts Anglo-Saxon doctrine of ‘select few entitled to prosperity’

"While hiding their actions behind the human rights, freedom and democracy rhetoric, they push ahead with the ‘golden billion’ doctrine, which implies that only select few are entitled to prosperity in this world," Nikolay Patrushev pointed out

MOSCOW, May 24. /TASS/. The Anglo-Saxon world has for centuries arrogantly ignored the right of third countries to sovereignty for the sake of implementing the idea of the "golden billion," the Secretary of Russia’s Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, said in an interview to the weekly Argumenty i Fakty.

"The Anglo-Saxons’ style has not changed for centuries. These days, too, they keep dictating their conditions to the world, arrogantly ignoring the sovereign rights of countries. While hiding their actions behind the human rights, freedom and democracy rhetoric, they push ahead with the ‘golden billion’ doctrine, which implies that only select few are entitled to prosperity in this world," he said, adding that in the opinion of the Anglo-Saxon world "the plight of everybody else is to toil away for the sake of their well-being."

He stressed that in order to build up the personal wealth of a handful of tycoons in the City of London and on Wall Street the US and British governments, entirely controlled by big business, provoke economic crises in the world, doom millions in Africa, Asia and Latin America to starvation by limiting access to grain, fertilizers and energy resources and cause unemployment and a migration disaster in Europe.

Moreover, Patrushev believes, the Anglo-Saxons, who are by no means interested in the prosperity of European nations, have been doing their utmost to force them out of the club of economically advanced countries.

"To make this region easily governable they have forced the Europeans take a seat on a bipod NATO-EU chair and are now arrogantly watching them try to retain balance," he concluded.
