Obama condemns killing of Russia's Nemtsov

Very deep analysis of the situation. You are actually the master of statecraft. I always look forward to your thoughtful remarks.

I'm completely agree.

do you believe that Nemtsov was a traitor to Russia?

 

Propaganda: questioning the claims of proven liars.

 

do you accept that Putin may be responsible for this murder?

 

I dont accept that anyone killed anyone without proof. Im a stickler for that pesky 6th amendment.

 

6th Amendment only covers the USA.

 

I always suspect those who will accuse others without cause...such as Obama.

 

Paul Craig wonders if Washington's propaganda gains in killing Nemtsov, will justify the CIA's loss in killing him since he worked for the CIA and was therefore an asset to them. Maybe Washington gave up after reading about Putin's eighty six point rating in Russia, and decided on using the propaganda benefits of killing him to manipulate their Western audiences?


Nemtsov’s Assassination: A Propaganda Attack On Putin? by Paul Craig Roberts

Boris Nemtsov, a Russian dissident politician highly critical of President Vladimir Putin often sounded like an agent of Washington. He was shot and killed today on a street near Red Square.

If Nemtsov wasn’t assassinated by the CIA in order to blame Putin, most likely Nemtsov was killed by Russian nationalists who saw him as Washington’s agent.

Remembering the Magnitsky affair that resulted in sanctions imposed on Russians as a result of the US Congress over-reacting to a jail death in Russia, Nemtsov’s death will likely be blamed on Putin. The Western media will repeat endlessly, with no evidence, that Putin had his critic killed.

I can tell you one thing, and that is that Putin is much too smart to play into Washington’s hands in this way. Moreover, Nemtsov, although a loud mouth, had no impact on Putin’s 85% approval rating.

 

you accused Nemtsov of being a traitor to Russia, and said Putin has no qualms removing such traitors from the face of the Earth.

do you believe that Nemtsov was a traitor?

so in other words, if Nemtsov was murdered by Russians, he deserved it.

 

Writer Stephen Lendman from The Paul Craig Roberts Institute for Political Economy asks the frightening question; 'will Washington have more political assassinations in Russia in order to heighten the Nemtsov effect?'



Serial-killer/unindicted war criminal Obama “condemned Nemtsov's brutal murder.”

“I admired Nemtsov’s courageous dedication to the struggle against corruption in Russia and appreciat'ed his willingness to share his candid views with me when we met in Moscow in 2009.”

John Kerry made similar duplicitous comments.

Mikhail Gorbachev called his killing “an attempt to complicate the situation in the country, even to destabilize it by ratcheting up tensions between the government and the opposition.”

Gunning him down in central Moscow automatically rules out Kremlin involvement.
Perhaps cleverly poisoning him the way Obama murdered Chavez and Sharon killed Arafat.[/QUOTE]

Along with Aleksey Navalny, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Ryzhkov, and other Putin opponents, he had close Western ties.

He got State Department funding through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It wages war on democracy worldwide.

It advances US interests. Its board of directors includes a rogue’s gallery of neocon extremists.

In 2009, Nemtsov and Kasparov met personally with Obama. They discussed anti-Putin tactics – regime change by any other name.

Nemtsov’s killing was strategically timed – ahead of Sunday’s Vesna (Russian Spring anti-government) opposition march.

Nemtsov was a Western financed self-serving opportunist. His killing has all the earmarks of a US-staged false flag. Cui bono remains most important.

Clearly Putin had nothing to gain. Rogue US elements have lots to benefit from trying to destabilize Russia. If Putin wanted Nemtsov dead, it’s inconceivable he’d order a Mafia-style contract killing. An “unfortunate” plane or car crash would have been more likely.

His demise has all the earmarks of a CIA-staged false flag. Expect no evidence whatever surfacing suggesting Putin’s involvement.

Nemtsov’s martyrdom is much more valuable to Washington than using him alive as an impotent opposition figure.

Despite challenging economic conditions, Putin’s approval rating exceeds 85%. Nemtsov’s party has less than 5%. He was no popular favorite. Most Russians disliked him.

Expect his hyped martyrdom to be fully exploited in the West. Does Washington plan more political assassinations to heighten the Nemtsov effect?

 

oh, so now its Obama who killed him?

got any evidence for this paranoid conspiracy theory?

 

I wish Obama would have demanded a prompt, impartial and transparent investigation into the deaths of American civil servants working abroad. Instead, he obstructed and lied.

 

Man, he opens his mouth at the strangest times

 

some folks thinks Putin is such an angel, that he would never murder his opposition.

...even though he's former KGB.

 

Putin's Russia is not all Putin. There are plenty of politicians that do not see Russia as Putin does.

What if this is an effort by Putin's internal opposition to make Putin look bad?
