Breaking News: FALSE FLAG IN MOSCOW!

Nemtsov with Yushchenko

As I have already explained many times on this blog, the “liberal” or “democratic” “non-system” opposition in Russia has a popular support somewhere in the range of 5% (max). In other words, it is politically *dead* (for a detailed explanation, please read “From Napoleon to Adolf Hitler to Conchita Wurst“).  In the hopes of getting a higher number of people to the streets the “liberal” or “democratic” “non-system”opposition allied itself with the ultra-nationalists (usually useful idiots for the CIA) and the homosexual activists (also useful idiots for the CIA).  Apparently, this was not enough.

And now, in *perfect* timing, Nemtsov is murdered.

We all know the reaction of the AngloZionists and their propaganda machine.  It will be exactly the same as for MH-17: Putin the Murderer!!! Democracy Shot!! Freedom Killed!! etc. etc. etc. etc.

The “fall guy” du jour. Western propaganda accuses him of invading Ukraine, shooting down MH17, and now…this. All without proof, just innuendo repeated a million times. This despite that all available evidence points to Washington and its accomplices as the real authors of these crimes.

There is no doubt in my mind at all that either this is a fantastically unlikely but always possible case of really bad luck for Putin and Nemtsov was shot by some nutcase or mugged, or this was an absolutely prototypical western false flag: you take a spent politician who has no credibility left with anyone with an IQ over 70, and you turn him into an instant “martyr for freedom, democracy, human rights and civilization”.

Already in 2012 Putin warned that the opposition might look to kill someone to turn him into a “martyr” against the government.

By the way if, as I believe, this is a false flag, I expect it to be a stunning success in the West and a total flop in Russia: by now, Russians already can smell that kind of setup a mile away and after MH-17 everybody was expecting a false flag.  So, if anything, it will only increase the hostility of Russians towards the West and rally them around Putin.  In the Empire, however, this will be huge, better than Politkovskaya or Litvinenko combined.  A “Nemtsov” prize will be created, a Nemtov statue will be placed somewhere (in Warsaw?), the US Congress will pass a “Nemtsov law” and the usual combo package of “democratic hagiography” will be whipped-up.

OBSERVE HOW THE BBC IS ALREADY “COVERING” THE EVENT, WITH ALL THE FAKE IMPARTIALITY FOR WHICH IT IS NOW WELL KNOWN. CLICK ON THE BAR BELOW TO EXAMINE SPECIAL MATERIAL. THIS IS JUST A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME.

On its 28 February 2015 post headlined, “Russia opposition  politician Boris Nemtsov shot dead,“ the BBC obligingly regales its readers with the following highly tainted tidbits of “information”—

Violent deaths of Putin opponents

• April 2003 – Liberal politician Sergey Yushenkov assassinated near his Moscow home
• July 2003 – Investigative journalist Yuri Shchekochikhin died after 16-day mysterious illness
• July 2004 – Forbes magazine Russian editor Paul Klebnikov shot from moving car on Moscow street, died later in hospital
• October 2006 – Investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya shot dead outside her Moscow apartment
• November 2006 – Former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko died nearly three weeks after drinking tea laced with polonium in London hotel
• March 2013 – Boris Berezovsky, former Kremlin power broker (read: Yeltsin fellow plunderer ) turned Putin critic, found dead in his UK home line ‘Putin’s aggression’

In his last tweet, Mr Nemtsov sent out an appeal for Russia’s divided opposition to unite at an anti-war march he was planning for Sunday. “If you support stopping Russia’s (sic) war with Ukraine, if you support stopping Putin’s aggression (sic), come to the Spring March in Maryino on 1 March,” he wrote.

Speaking earlier this month to Russia’s Sobesednik news website, he had spoken of his fears for his own life. “I’m afraid Putin will kill me,” he said in the article (in Russian) on 10 February. “I believe that he was the one who unleashed the war in the Ukraine,” he added. “I couldn’t dislike him more.”  (This already sounds to Western ears as if Gandhi himself was speaking, an apostle of peace, etc.)

Mr Putin has been widely accused of fomenting the bloody rebellion in east Ukraine – an accusation he denies. Fighting there followed Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March last year. [The BBC conveniently forgets the key facts: Disgusted with the rightwing, US-engineered neofascist coup in Kiev, the Crimean people chose to rejoin Russia in an impeccable referendum.)

Almost 5,800 people have died and at least 1.25 million have fled their homes, according to the UN. The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. (Again, instead of shedding crocodile tears, the BBC should remind readers of the key fact that it was the West that started this mess, and that the US and its allies have sent enormous amount of weapons and now “advisers” and mercenaries to fight against the rebels, and Russia has simply followed, at times grudgingly, matching, rather cautiously, the expanding military investment of the West.

Independent experts (the usual unnamed sources) echo that accusation while Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are “volunteers”. (The truth is that there are many Russian, Serbian and other slavic countries volunteers fighting with the rebels, including from Western nations, but no formal Russian army units. Putin has dispatched, however, advisers capable of training the Novorussians in the use of more sophisticated equipment. If regular Russian units had invaded the Ukraine they would have already torn up the Ukrainian army to bits and probably be in Kiev. Of course, that’s exactly what Washington wants, to embroil Russia in a no-win unpopular war for years to come, eventually causing internal fractures and destabilization, and probably replacing Putin with another stooge of the West.)

REGULAR ARTICLE RESUMES HERE

What worries me most is that the Russian security services did not see this one coming and let it happen.  This is a major failure for the FSB which will now have a lot at stake to find out who did it.  I expect them to find a fall-guy, a patsy, who will have no provable contacts with any western services and who, ideally, might even have some contacts with the Russian services (like Andrei Lugovoi).

Editor’s Note: Nemtsov at a recent rally. in the battlefield, the West hast lost Washington’s instigated war in the Ukraine, but it still has superiority in its mammoth propaganda apparatus able to put pressure (and provide justification) for anti-Russia policies among many politicians. It must be remembered that Nemtsov was an “aggressive economic reformer”, a “liberal”, and a “democrat”, terms which in Russia mean almost exactly the opposite, namely a fierce free-marketer who tore down the nation’s safety net, a shill for Western imperialism, and one of the many who, under Yeltsin, sold the nation to the West and enriched themselves in the process. Don’t forget this perverse terminology when you read the inevitable barrage of praise for Nemtsov in the Western media. (BBC News)

As for the “liberal” or “democratic” “non-system” – it will probably re-brand the upcoming protests as a “tribute to Nemtsov” thereby getting more people into the streets.

There are folks in Langley tonight who got a promotion.

A COMMENT FROM THE GREANVILLEPOST CORRESPONDENT IN ROME

[box] The Italian press gave wide coverage of the Nemtsov murder in Moscow, as did all the EU-US press, which immediately prompted a “false flag” reaction in me, about which there have been many warnings lately. Then there’s all this sanctimonious screaming and yelling about Russia’s internal affairs when political murders occur in western capitals on a regular basis. Just too, too obvious that the killers conveniently used the same pistols of Russian police. And all right there on that River Moskva bridge (I used to walk it a lot) near the Kremlin.
