ANNOTATIONS & SIDEBARS BY PATRICE GREANVILLE
Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny in one of his many rabble-rousing appearances. He is described by Western media as an "opposition "leader" but has never commanded more than 2% of the vote. His ties to the CIA are a matter of public record. In reality Navalny is far more likely to be a color revolution asset in Washington's ongoing hybrid war against Russia.
Ever since the man – always wrongly billed as “the Russian Opposition leader,” when in fact he polls 2% of the vote, and the actual opposition leader is a Communist who still has mass support – took ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow, the securocratic lobby in western countries has been primed.
Today, with the statement from the German government that Navalny is yet another victim of ‘Novichok’-class chemical agents, active measures are already underway.
Former British intelligence officer Philip Ingram MBE, whom I interviewed today for my Sputnik TV show, had to hurry me up because “the Germans have just spoken the word Novichok and I expect to be busy with other interviews.”
OK - Sky News and BBC Radio Wilts - Possible BBC News - #Novichok .... a busy afternoon coming up

If the Russian state had attempted to assassinate Navalny, they would never have allowed his stricken comatose body to be flown out of the country to Germany in the first place. He would have died on the operating table in Russia, where nobody could “detect traces of Novichok” in a NATO capital.
If the Russian state was responsible for trying to kill Navalny, surely the LAST weapon in the whole world it would have chosen with which to do so would be Novichok?
A butter knife, a gun, a speeding car, a car crash – any one of a hundred methods would surely have been preferable in the post-Skripal era. And more reliable, it would appear: Navalny, for now mercifully, is the THIRD Russian in a row to be attacked by a DEADLY “military-grade nerve agent” and mysteriously fail to die.
But just like with the Skripals, we come up against the question asked in every murder mystery: Cui Bono? Who benefits?
What conceivable gain would the Kremlin stand to make in the killing by Novichok of Alexey Navalny?
And the huge contradiction, the biggest of all, is that the West wants us to believe Vladimir Putin is at one and the same time a dazzling Mephistopheles capable of arranging elections in America and Britain, fixing Brexit, and fomenting separatism from Scotland to Spain, whilst at the same time being a blithering, self-harming idiot. The cop that couldn’t shoot straight. The man who brought the whole western world down on his head through not one, but two failed attempts to dispose of utterly harmless marginal critics – who, in the case of Alexey Navalny, would be incapable of winning a single seat in a provincial local authority.

S I D E B A R BELOW: Clip by CBS Evening News, 22 Aug 2020. And here's one by Reuters, one of the biggest world press services, on the same topic: |
I’m travelling at the moment, filming my forthcoming documentary on the strange death of Dr David Kelly – the British weapons inspector caught up in the Blair War on Iraq – who was found stone dead at the height of the publicity surrounding him. So I don’t have my crystal ball to consult. But I nonetheless predict that what will now happen will be the familiar circus of diplomatic expulsions, sanctions and ostracism. Further demonisation of Russia. Tit for tat. As the world faces a deadly pandemic and economic collapse. Just what the doctor ordered...

'Trust in news and current affairs has never been more important, and RT's failures to preserve due impartiality were serious and repeated.' —Ofcom mouthpiece (Newspeak dept.) RELATED: Watch how the putrid British establishment (in reality an anglo-american Borg) persecutes RT.com and George Galloway. Not content with the Assange judicial infamy, they are now levying huge fines on RT.com in an effort to bankrupt the channel and finally shut it down, while pretending that free speech is sill alive and well in the kingdom. Please examine closely this dispatch by the British MAIL ONLINE, offshoot of The Daily Mail.—P. Greanville |
O Yes. Having created a huge buzzword to accuse Russia of international criminality, precisely what the US alliance is guilty of, the shameless Western media machinery is at it again, capitalizing on their previously created Skripal tsunami of BS. (Art by George Burchett © 2020.)
