WHERE ARE SEGAL’S LOYALTIES?
Read “Eyes on China” by Max Allen. Available at Amazon.com
Dateline Moscow, Russia – Former action hero on the silver screen, Steven Segal, aged 68, has turned his attention to politics and … dare I say … treason? A citizen of the United States, Serbia, and Russia his loyalties are terribly confused. How has he managed to swear allegiance to three different countries? Where are his ultimate loyalties?
This guy has now been inducted a card-carrying ‘paid-in-full’ member of the pro Kremlin party in Russia, and is a ‘good buddy’ with Vladimir Putin. Such is the friendship between these two notorious thugs that it’s sometimes difficult to tell them apart. Seagal, a Russian citizen since 2016, is eager to become a ‘figure’ in politics proposing a crackdown on those polluting the environment.
His newly adopted political party controls a faction in the lower house of the Russian parliament and plans to take part in a parliamentary election in September. Seagal, a U.S.-born martial artist, is best known for producing and starring in action movies, while Putin, who granted him the citizenship, is a huge fan of martial arts. He has openly discussed holding elected or appointed office within the Russian government.
At Saturday's ceremony, Seagal posed for pictures next to one of the party leaders, Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin, who enrolled in an army of pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and admitted to commanding a combat unit in a conflict which has killed 14,000 people in seven years.
As a Russian representative, Seagal visited Venezuela earlier in May and presented a samurai sword to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Let’s see, a short list of his buddies would be:
● Vladimir Putin, Oligarch and billionaire controlling virtually all of Russia’s gas export.
● Zakhar Prilepin, Prominent party leader and hardliner and prominent Socialist idealist.
● Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia and hard-line disciplinarian.
● Nicolas Maduro, President-for-life and Dictator of Venezuela.
And the list goes on and on and on. You can well judge this guy by the company he keeps and the stories he tells:
-------------------------------------------------------
1. He claims to have taught the CIA martial arts and been trained by the CIA = LIE!
2. He claims to be a sword expert, a foremost master of the sword = LIE!
3. He claims to have trained with Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido = LIE!
● And the beat goes on and on and on. ●
Let’s see how his credibility stands up to even the most basic of his claims …
-------------------------------------------------------
1. He claims to have trained and been trained by the CIA, as well as accompanying them on sorted anti-terrorist missions. Although he claims to be CIA trained, when he was put into a CIA drill he failed to know how to use the map and compass, getting completely lost in less than a half hour in the woods. Yes, he failed.
2. His ‘prowess’ with the sword, refuted by Japanese Sword Master Danzaki Tomoaki. Many Iaido practitioners who have observed his work and call him, “sloppy” and even “incompetent”.
3. Morihei Ueshiba died in 1969 after 3 years of prolonged battle with liver cancer. Segal was 17 years-old at the time of Ueshiba’s death. If Steven was to have trained with Sensei Morihei Ueshiba even for a year, he would have had to have been no older than 14 or 15 when he joined him and then could only have trained for a year before the great sensei was not in shape to practice anymore. He would have been a young adolescent boy child living on his own in Japan. I doubt his Irish-Jewish parents would have approved.

Well, now that we see the sort of company this guy keeps and we have a closer look at his credibility, we need to boycott his old movies.
I’m Max, and that’s the way I see it!
