It seems to be open season on Russia lately, with false accusations and verdicts raining down on it.
Faced with their own internal incompetence and failures, the US and EU have no other cards to play.
First and foremost, we have the Navalny poisoning hoax that gets stranger everyday.
The people who concocted this seem to be coming up with new evidence every week, but they also seem to be discounting and ignoring any part of the story which doesn’t fit with their pre-arranged conclusion that the Russian government is responsible.
That Navalny may have health problems that could cause unconsciousness, for which there is actual evidence, is being ignored by the poisoning story pushers.
For instance, Navalny’s handlers are now touting as new evidence a supposed water bottle in Navalny’s hotel room that was deemed to be contaminated with the novichok nerve agent.
This water bottle was collected by one of Navalny’s handlers when he left the hotel.
However, questions arise.
First, Navalny didn’t fall ill until he was on the plane. So if that water bottle was tainted with Novichok, then Navalny would’ve never left that hotel alive, and neither would any of his handlers if they came into contact with him, or the bottle.
Second, how did a water bottle with water still in it, get on the plane? Isn’t there a restriction on bringing liquids on-board? So how did this bottle slip by? And if it was empty, why bring it? Wouldn't this bottle get tossed out at the gate area?
Third, why did this water bottle just become available now? Why wasn’t it submitted for analysis to the hospital after Navalny fell ill and was rushed to the hospital?
Did the bottle still contain water, or was it already empty? If it still had water in it, then taking it along is not suspicious, but if it was, then why keep an empty water bottle? But again, why was no one affected by the alleged poison earlier?
Fourth, why keep other things that would normally be thrown out? Possibly to taint them later on?
And finally, why did Navalny’s handlers recently state that it was thanks to the pilot that Navalny was saved, and downplayed the treatment at the hospital that actually saved his life?
By ignoring the efforts of the Russian doctors and medical staff on the ground, could Navalny’s handlers and their conspirators be trying to invalidate and nullify any and all data from that medical facility, since it contradicts their poisoning lies?
Let’s remember that they wanted Navalny to be immediately transported to Germany. Having him checked into a Russian hospital and his blood samples taken was not what they wanted to happen.
Why the insistence on transporting him to Germany first, which is a long trip? Maybe they knew he wasn’t actually in serious danger, and would be okay during the trip? Maybe they had an antidote for whatever fake drug was administered to him to mimic novichok, and a private flight would’ve been the ideal place to administer it at their convenience without prying eyes, thereby curing him?
After all it doesn’t look legit when a supposed victim of an allegedly government-sanctioned assassination attempt by nerve agent poisoning doesn’t die within minutes, is allowed to get an emergency landing, is rescued at a hospital, is allowed to leave Russia, and recovers. These five things wouldn’t happen if anyone in the Russian government wanted him dead.
Germany officially deemed Navalny to be the victim of novichok nerve agent poisoning, and has demanded that Russia conduct an investigation into what happened to Navalny, or face sanctions.
However, Germany has ignored all evidence Russia submitted, demands that Russia investigate this incident, but refuses to share its evidence with Russia, and wants an international investigation without Russia's participation. Navalny also doesn't want Russia to help in any investigation. What does all this tell us?
This is quite a strange version of western jurisprudence. Germany is being blatantly contradictory and evasive here. Why?
Whoever peddles this wobbly and constantly shifting Navalny poisoning story is either a liar, or is being lied to. And what they are doing is despicable and wrong, and in the end it will backfire badly on them, not on Russia or Vladimir Putin.
As the plot falters and the details – along with new evidence - become more implausible, the conspirators behind this Navaly poisoning farce are doubling-down on their lies with more lies. It's either this, or they have to admit the truth.
But they won't, and can't do the latter. As with the Skripals, the lie has gone too far. What will happen now is that the lie will have to fizzle out over time by inertia and be squelched as new problems arise. No one ever will know who did what at the end, with just an insinuation left hanging that Russia did it, without any credible, verifiable evidence to back it up. But as long as the right amount of sanctions are passed against Russia, the culprits won't care.
What will happen is that Germany, along with the rest of the EU, the US, and the corrupt OPCW are going to initiate an international investigation, but one which will only include those who have bought the Navalny novihok poisoning story, and closed to everyone who questions any part of it.
It is evident that the investigation will be a sham, biased against Russia, and reach an already decided-upon conclusion that serves the political whims of the people who are making up this Navalny farce.
This all seems to fly in the face of Germany’s best interests. The worsening of relations with Russia is not beneficial to it in the long-term. Yet, Merkel seems to be doing a Kabuki dance. What’s going on? Did someone get to her? Does someone have anything on her?
Unfortunately, Germany is still tied to the US too much. The BND (German intel service) is basically a subsidiary of the CIA, and many people in Germany still rely on subservience to the US for their careers, paychecks, and lives.
There is a heated battle going on in Germany between the old cold war-era Russophobes (children and grand-children of bitter ex-Nazis and their sympathizers) and those who want to move on and do business with Russia. It is hard to tell who has the upper hand right now. Time will tell.
It cannot be ruled out that this was some false flag perpetrated by private persons whose motivations are commercial and financial, and who want to target Russia for their own nefarious, self-serving reasons. And they appear to have allies in certain governments who are colluding with them.
What are the motivations of those who put together this poisoning farce?
Nord Stream 2
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has been a bone of contention between Germany and the US.
The US regime of Donald Trump, and the previous Obama regime, did not like the fact that this pipeline will deliver more Russian gas to the EU, thereby generating billions in revenue for Russia.
The US has been seeking to politicize the entire project by scaring the participants with notions that the NS2 project will enslave Europe to Russia.
But the US regime’s real desire is to see the EU dump Russian gas supplies for more expensive US LNG.
To that end, the US has enlisted the help of compliant lackeys like Poland, Baltic states, and to some extent Denmark and certain parts of the German establishment to lobby against the pipeline’s construction.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, along with the dimwitted Trump, have been threatening all companies involved with sanctions. They have been doing everything to block this project for some years now.
Pompeo remarked a few months ago that the US will do everything to stop the construction of the NS2 pipeline.
And voila! Navalny suddenly gets poisoned, and immediately there are calls to cancel the NS2 project from the US and its faithful lackeys in the EU.
How convenient!
If this Navalny poisoning farce leads to the cancellation of Nord Stream 2, then Russia should stop piping gas to the rest of Europe through Poland and Ukraine. Enough is enough. If they don't like Russian gas going through pipelines in the EU, then they won't have them. They can connect to South Stream, Turk Stream, or buy Russian LNG (still cheaper than US). Or they can buy expensive LNG from the US and the filthy zionists and watch their economies suffer and become less competitive.
The Germans could simply be bluffing, and just want to rattle Russia to give in politically regarding Belarus; and are using the threat of canceling NS2 to get Russia to abandon Lukashenko and let the EU have its way there. However, Germany won't abandon the project, as it is vital for its economy. Putin should call their bluff.
And why is it that NS2 is bad, yet piping Russian gas through Poland and Ukraine is okay? Why isn’t Trump threatening Poland and Ukraine with sanctions for transporting Russian gas to the EU?
Transit fees, anyone?
COVID19 Vaccine
Russia is the first country to develop and mass-produce an effective COVID19 vaccine.
This is an obvious threat to western pharmaceutical companies profits. Those who have an effective vaccine can hold the rest of the world at their mercy.
Much can be gotten from desperate countries as far as favors go.
By giving the world an inexpensive alternative, Russia has destroyed the future profits of western pharma.
The Navalny poisoning hoax serves as a good tool to scare people away from the Russian Sputnik V vaccine to erode trust in any Russian-made medicines, and suggest that the Sputnik V vaccine could kill you. This would obviously serve the financial interests of US and EU pharmaceutical companies.
Belarus
The recently attempted color revolution in Belarus has failed, due to Russia’s political and diplomatic intervention.
The staunchly and blindly pro-western candidate received only 10% of the vote, yet passed herself off as the winner, according to her own private poll.
The US and their EU myrmidons duly recognized her as the president, a rehash of their flirting with the un-elected western stooge Guiado in Venezuela.
Belarus, with its $150 billion in annual revenue is ripe for the plucking. Its industries are low-hanging fruit for the western vultures, along with the IMF and the World Bank.
Dragging Belarus into the western orbit and the EU and NATO would be a serious strategic threat to Russia, because it would bring US military forces a couple of hundred kilometers from Moscow.
Therefore, Belarus is a prime target for regime change. By preventing this scenario, which was planned ahead of time before the Belarusian elections, and accompanied by false flags and other strange incidents sponsored by western intel and NGO outfits, Russia has seriously upset US and NATO strategic plans of undermining Russia.
The people who created this poisoning farce may also be trying to make Navalny into some sort of a living hero-martyr within Russia, and raise his popularity and electoral chances; in tandem with their bought-and-paid-for Belarusian marionette housewife pretend-president.
China
Russia’s strategic partnership with China is a nightmare for US world hegemony. Ever since Russia and China initiated their strategic and economic cooperation in 2007, the US has been trying to undo this by sanctions and threats.
The Ukrainian Maidan in 2014 was one semi-successful attempt at doing so.
But as China grows stronger and the US weaker, this naturally also strengthens Russia’s stance.
The US has been employing all sorts of dirty tricks and false flags to weaken and isolate Russia in order to pressure it politically to abandon China.
Accusing Russia of having a hand in the shootdown of MH17, Skripal poisoning farce (right before the 2018 World Cup in Russia), colluding with Assad to use chemical weapons in Syria (everytime when Syrians were winning on the ground), paying bounty to the Taliban to kill US soldiers, and now the Navalny poisoning hoax; all these absurdities and lies have been created to bring Russia down diplomatically, politically, and economically.
The aim is to weaken Russia to the point that it will relent, and do what the US and the EU want.
But this will not happen. Russia and China both see through the plot, and won’t allow themselves to be dictated to.
Those days are over.
Dollar
Russia has been moving away from the dollar in trade and financial transactions. Since last year, its share of dollar holdings has fallen significantly.
By dumping the dollar, Russia is basically refusing to recycle US debt, which makes it more difficult for the US to stay afloat, and afford its empire of military bases. China has been doing the same, hence Trump’s sanctions tantrums.
The Navalny poisoning farce has occurred right after, or in the midst of these events mentioned above. The timing is quite convenient, but not for Russia, which has nothing to gain by poisoning a political nobody with 2% public support and strange, xenophobic ideas.
Russia should launch an investigation, and announce that Navalny was most likely poisoned by a British or US agent, or perhaps one of his assistants, and demand that these countries provide answers, or devastating sanctions will follow. If anyone wants proof, Russian government should say it’s classified. Two can play this game.
Apart from the Navalny poisoning farce, the Polish government, led by the pro-US, anti-Russian PiS party, has demanded the arrest of the Russian air traffic controllers at the Smolensk airport, who were on-duty the day that the Polish Tupolev with Polish President Lech Kaczynski and other officials on-board, crashed due to poor visibility in 2010.
The anti-Russian forces for 10 years have been trying to come up with all sorts of convincing absurdities to pin the blame on the Russian side.
They have accused Russia of planting a bomb on-board the plane, of shooting it down, of directing the plane to land on a 2nd runway, even though the airport had only one runway, deliberately creating 1,500km of artificial heavy fog to cause the crash, and of accusing the previous President Donald Tusk of conspiring to murder Lech Kaczynski, who was his political foe.
Now, the Polish regime has accused the Russian air traffic controllers of deliberately directing the plane in such a way to make it crash.
The fact is that the people who are responsible for that plane crashing all died on it that day, and the investigation ended the moment that plane hit the ground.
Evidence from the black boxes shows that the pilot insisted on landing the plane in bad weather, even after Russian air controllers advised him to go to another airport.
But some impatient people on-board may have forced him to make that fatal landing, because they didn’t want to be late for a ceremony at the Katyn memorial.
The Polish side doesn’t want to admit that the actions of the pilot, possibly under pressure from the president, who was a member of the same party which controls Poland today, cause this catastrophe. Doing so would be very embarrassing, politically suicidal, not to mention open up a heap of wrongful death lawsuits.
Better to just blame Russia, without offering any credible evidence.
Another constant thing about these strange events and false accusations against Russia is that they always seem to come at a time when Russia experiences any sort of an economic, political, or diplomatic victory, or any successes.
The social and economic turmoil in the US, and the upcoming presidential election there is also adding fuel to this mayhem, and is causing the failing US establishment to make up fake news and trouble anywhere it is convenient.
In the end, when looking at all these false accusations and farces, it all comes down to who benefits.
And as it has been shown here, it definitely isn’t Russia.
Much about these poisoning hoaxes and other lies just doesn't add up, and there are too many glaring omissions and holes in the official stories pushed by the people who peddle and promote them. The accused never get a chance to defend themselves, and any evidence they provide to do so it ignored.
These so-called internationally-led investigations, MH17 crash, Skripal, Smolensk, and Navalny, have all been/will be kangaroo courts with pre-determined, political verdicts. There is no justice to be had there for the falsely accused.
Let’s now hear from the venerable Mark Twain, and what he had to say about the crop of bastards that are really responsible for such nonsense:
"“We are of the Anglo-Saxon race, and when the Anglo-Saxon wants a thing he just takes it.”
That utterance was applauded to the echo. There were perhaps seventy-five civilians present and twenty-five military and naval men. It took those people nearly two minutes to work off their stormy admiration of that great sentiment; and meanwhile the inspired prophet who had discharged it–from his liver, or his intestines, or his esophagus, or wherever he had bred it–stood there glowing and beaming and smiling, and issuing rays of happiness from every pore–rays that were so intense that they were visible, and made him look like the old-time picture in the almanac of the man who stands discharging signs of the zodiac in every direction, and so absorbed in happiness, so steeped in happiness, that he smiles and smiles, and has plainly forgotten that he is painfully and dangerously ruptured and exposed amidships, and needs sewing up right away.
The soldier man’s great utterance, interpreted by the expression which he put into it, meant, in plain English–
“The English and the Americans are thieves, highwaymen, pirates, and we are proud to be of the combination.”
Out of all the English and Americans present, there was not one with the grace to get up and say he was ashamed of being an Anglo-Saxon, and also ashamed of being a member of the human race, since the race must abide under the presence upon it of the Anglo-Saxon taint. I could not perform this office."
--Mark Twain
