The Death of Alexei Navalny: February 16, 2024

[Kryztian]

Pretty sure this will be a significant event in the relations between Russia and NATO nations.

Alexei Navalny died today, February 16, 2024.


The prison service in Russia's Yamalo-Nenets district where Navalny was being held said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.

He had "almost immediately lost consciousness", it said in a statement, adding that an emergency medical team had immediately been called and tried to resuscitate him but without success.

"The emergency doctors declared the prisoner dead. Cause of death is being established."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68315943

Within a few hours, Michael McFaul (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McFaul), a former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, made a statement on MSNBC, stating the Navalny, absolutely, was murdered by Vladimir Putin. (No supporting evidence offered, but McFaul compared him to Nelson Mandela.)
https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/shock-in-europe-at-the-death-of-navalny-says-nyt-reporter-204337733755

As it just so happened (my, what a coincidence!) Yulia Navalnaya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yulia_Navalnaya), his wife, was at the Munich Security Conference, and addressed them (in Russian) and was greeted with a standing ovation. According to Wikipedia she:


Navalnaya is now beginning to play an independent political role and may become the "Russian Tsikhanouskaya" — the leader of the entire opposition.


That was written in reference to the 2020 poisoning of Navalny. It did not really happen, yet, but seems to be a forgone conclusion now and I have to wonder: will she be spending her time in the West, making media appearance on CNN and MSNBC (and probably FOX too) or will she be going back to Russia to "start a grass roots movement" to confront Putin. (My guess is the West). How many Russians will blame Putin for Navalny's death.

There is no doubt on my mind that the same media authorities that talked non-stop about information that came from the hoaxed Steele dossier ("Russiagate") will be hyping up the death of Navalny and urging you to send you tax dollars to Ukraine.

There is no doubt on my mind that the same media authorities that talked non-stop about information that came from the hoaxed Steele dossier ("Russiagate") will be hyping up the death of Navalny and urging you to send you tax dollars to Ukraine.

Exactly...another interesting 'coincidence' is Navalny's death occurring at the same time that....


The US House of Representatives failed to pass key international aid legislation that would have devoted some $95 billion in additional funding to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, before lawmakers broke for winter recess.

When the lawmakers return from recess on February 28, they will face a higher priority challenge than sending billions in US taxpayer dollars to Kiev, as they will have just a few days to negotiate a deal to avert yet another US government shutdown.

quote source - InfoWars article (https://www.infowars.com/posts/congress-leaves-ukraine-aid-bill-in-limbo/)

Looks like Russia's enemies - aka Globalists, NATO, Zelensky's Ukraine administration + Western Puppet governments, stand to benefit from Navalny's death NOT Putin and Russia.... so if he was murdered he was probably sacrificed by his own side...

And they have his wife lined up to create division within Russia...

???

.

and on the subject of Puppets.... Biden addresses the Nation and at the end (2:30) says....

'let's provide the funding so Ukraine can defend itself from Putin's vicious onslaughts and war crimes...'

@ggreenwald
Just 3 weeks ago, a US citizen who was imprisoned by Ukraine for criticizing Zelensky died in prison at 55: few of our über-patriots cared.

They don't care when Israel guns down US citizens in the West Bank or Gaza.

Or when the US Govt destroys Assange for exposing its crimes.

It is truly outrageous that Vladimir Putin had one of his top political opponents die in prison.

I'm so glad we live in a free country where our government is only trying to imprison our president's top political opponent for 641 years.

@WarClandestine
Now that you’ve heard the fake outrage from the West, let’s look at the information they withheld from you.

Navalny is a terrorist. He was caught planning a color revolution to overtake Russia with MI6.

He’s not “political opposition”. He’s a foreign intelligence asset. A spy.

Below, you can see Navalny discussing planning “mass protests, civil initiatives, propaganda, establishing contacts with elites” with British MI6 agent, James William Thomas Ford, via the funding from unnamed rich billionaires.

Navalny was the West’s frontman to takeover Russia from within. The same exact playbook they used to take over Ukraine.

Navalny was a Deep State asset, and he was treated as such. As a hostile foreign actor looking to overthrow a sovereign nation, on behalf of the West. Treason and sedition. So spare me with the West’s fake outrage and pearl-clutching, as if Putin is unfairly jailing and murdering political opponents, while the Trump witch hunt is going into its 8th year… and while Julian Assange is still being tortured in prison…

Biden and the MSM are already trying to leverage this situation to coerce Americans to send more money to Ukraine. The entire thing is a hoax, just like everything else they do.

HUGE News: Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Reportedly Dies:

Comment on Navalny's death

Navalny's health and Russian elections

Alexei Navalny, the Russian nationalist who was groomed by the West to be Putin's "most important opponent", has died in prison. Western media will use this to launch a new frontal attack on Russia, but what interest should Russia have in his death?

from Anti-Spiegel
February 16, 2024 3:22 p.m

To say it straight away: The death of every human being is a tragedy and commentators who feel compelled to make malicious comments because of Navalny's death will be banned!

I don't want to write an obituary for Alexei Navalny here, that would certainly be inappropriate. I will not comment on his death either; there will be official reports on that soon. The Western media will of course take up the issue and launch a new campaign against Russia, accusing the Russian government and Putin personally of murdering Navalny.

That brings us to the topic, because the question arises as to whether the Russian government could have any interest in Navalny's death. And the answer is no, because although Navalny was built up by the Western media to be a “super-opposition” against Putin, he hardly played a role in Russia even when he was free. And after his suspended sentence was converted into prison for previous crimes and repeated probation violations , he became quiet anyway and no longer played a role in Russia.

Navalny no longer played a role for the Russian government, which is why his death is likely to be regretted there, as it will now be the pretext for another Western media campaign to discredit Russia.

Novichok and the 2020 Russian elections

The West unleashes anti-Russian media campaigns before virtually every election in Russia. And Navalny was unlucky twice shortly before elections in Russia.

On August 20, 2020, according to Western legend, Navalny was poisoned with Novichok. Evidence of this was never presented and the story contains many contradictions , but the Western media presents it as proven fact. The alleged poisoning of Navalny and his medical treatment in Germany dominated the media for months at the time and the Russian government was blamed.

In Russia there is National Election Day once a year, when all elections from local to parliamentary elections (except presidential elections) are held on one day. This National Election Day is always at the beginning of September; in 2020 it was September 13th . If the Western version of the poisoning of Navalny by the Russian government were true, the Russian government would be pretty stupid because, about three weeks before the election, it would have created a reason to poison the mood before the election to its own detriment and to create an international one a media campaign that could drive the radical opposition to the polls.

I don't want to speculate here about what really happened to Navalny back then, but one thing is clear: the Russian government certainly did not benefit from the alleged poisoning, but its opponents did.

And again shortly before the election

Now Navalny's death has been reported and of course the West will again accuse the Russian government and of course Putin personally of killing Navalny. But the same applies - even more so - as it did with the alleged poisoning in 2020: the Russian government has nothing to do with it, but its opponents do.

Navalny no longer plays a role in Russia today and poses even less of a threat to the Russian government than in 2020. But the media hype from the West is likely to be gigantic.

And as luck would have it, the Russian presidential elections will take place in exactly one month. Again, as in 2020, something happened to Navalny right before an election in Russia and again it was the Russian government that was stupid enough to present an issue right before an election that the West could use against them?

Russian prisons

Unfortunately, it is a well-known fact in Russia that you can easily smuggle almost anything into Russian prisons for a little money. I spoke to people who were in prison in Russia. They told me that if you have the necessary change, you have a cell phone, internet and pretty much everything your heart desires, but it's actually forbidden. There is still a problem with corruption in Russia, even though the Russian government is doing its best to combat corruption. This has caused “prices” to rise, but unfortunately corruption itself is far from being defeated.

I know from an informed source that the prison where Navalny was imprisoned is apparently investigating whether a substance that could have been used to poison Navalny may have been smuggled in. For a corresponding sum, it is not a big problem to find a prisoner who would agree to something like this, and not only in Russia.

In Russia, as is also shown by the drone attacks deep in the Russian hinterland, in which the drones are obviously launched from Russian territory, there are many pro-Ukrainian forces, for example, who are prepared to harm Russia and commit terrorist attacks. The murders that Ukrainian secret services have committed in Russia and which they boast about show this clearly. Furthermore, it is no secret that the CIA is also involved in the murder programs of the Ukrainian secret services in Russia; even the US media has openly reported this.

Anyone who trusts the West lives dangerously

The US-led West uses its helpers and, if necessary, abandons them when they are no longer useful. There are plenty of famous examples of this. Saddam Hussein was an ally of the US, which supported Iraq in the war against Iran in the 1980s. After the war, Hussein asked the US ambassador in Baghdad whether he could be “reimbursed” in Kuwait for the losses that the unsuccessful war had cost his country. She did not contradict his idea of ​​occupying Kuwait to compensate for his war costs, the rest is history: Saddam was groomed to be the “new Hitler”, arrested by US soldiers and ultimately executed.

Another example is Mikheil Saakashvili, who became Georgia's president in a Western-backed coup and even launched a war against Russia because he relied on American assurances that the West would help him take back breakaway territories by force. The rest is history: Saakashvili stood alone against Russia and today sits in a Georgian prison, forgotten by Western media and politicians.

This list could be continued. You can see that the West likes to build up people who are useful to it, but also easily abandons them when they no longer have any “value”.

I am not suggesting that Navalny was murdered, or by whom. I'm just pointing out the fact that the story raises a lot of questions, especially the fact that if anything happened to him, it always happened a maximum of a month before Russian elections and was gratefully exploited by Western media.

In addition, Navalny has lost his “value” for the West in prison, because he has largely been forgotten in Russia and no longer plays a role. His organization is based in London and its influence on public opinion in Russia is now virtually nil. As cynical as it may sound, Navalny is now worth more to the West dead than alive, while from the Russian government's perspective it is the other way around.

The campaign begins

We will see whether Navalny died of natural causes, but the Western media will not believe the Russian statements and claim that Navalny was murdered on behalf of the Russian government. Whether coincidence or not, the timing of his death before the upcoming Russian presidential elections plays into the West's hands.

And now, just a few hours after his death became known, this “game” begins. Der Spiegel has put a live ticker online in which the campaign has already started. Merkel declared that Navalny was a "victim of Russia's repressive state power", German war lobbyist Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann announced that Navalny's death was "not a coincidence right now" (I see it that way too, although of course she means it differently), Chancellor Scholz has stated that Navalny “paid for his courage with his life” and so on. These were just the reports from the first 30 minutes of the live ticker, so there is likely to be a lot more to come.

The question remains whether all these Western politicians and journalists will react with such dismay if one day – God forbid – the death of Julian Assange in British or US custody is reported.

I honestly feel sorry for Navalny. He allowed himself to be exploited by the West and paid for with millions , but he paid for it with his life.

Aside the fact that he's a British Intelligence asset caught on camera. He supported the annexation of Crimea and didn't consider Caucasians to be humans, he called them insects and cockroaches.

Alexei Navalny, the man Joe Biden and the left are praising so dearly, was a part of the Russian Imperial Movement, a Nazi organization that has been banned inside Russia.

The left is now hailing Alexei Navalny as a hero of democracy and freedom, and a courageous man who fought for 'good.'

The left have very strange choices of heroes.

First Justin Trudeau gives a standing ovation to one and now the left are outright calling them heroes.

Where was any of this uproar for the INNOCENT man Gonzalo Lira?

Why didn’t the left talk about him when he passed?

⚡ 🇷🇺Here is a video of Navalny comparing Chechens & Mulslims to "cockroaches" and advocating their eradication.

Navalny was the man who was supposed to play Zelensky's role in Russia.

It promoted Nazism and marched in Nazi parades, most of whose members are currently fighting on the side of Ukraine.

His goal was to create a rift in Russian society, to renew the conflict between Russians and Chechens, and to split Russia from within.

With its 2% support, it was completely irrelevant to Putin, but it was a problem for Ramazan Kadyrov and other ethnic and religious groups between which it created intolerance.

Maria Zakharova:
“The reaction of Western leaders, politicians and the media to the news of the death of Alexei Navalny once again demonstrated their hypocrisy, cynicism and unprincipledness. The “in any situation, blame Russia” scheme is in action. Moreover, for each case there is a preparation according to the manual.

Let's look at the chronology. 👇

Today at approximately 14:19, a message was published on the website of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug about the death of convicted Alexei Navalny in correctional colony No. 3.

Literally 15 minutes later, a torrent of carbon-copy accusations began pouring in:

- 14:35 - Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström: “Terrible news about Navalny. If the information about his death in a Russian prison is confirmed, this will be another heinous crime of the Putin regime”;
- 14:35 - Norwegian Foreign Minister Bart Eide: “Deeply saddened by the news of Navalny’s death. The Russian government bears a heavy burden of responsibility for this”;
- 14:41 - Latvian Foreign Minister Edgar Rinkevich: “Whatever you think about Navalny as a politician, he was just brutally murdered by the Kremlin. This is a fact and something that everyone should know about the true nature of the current Russian regime";
- 14:50 - Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky: “Russia still treats foreign policy issues the same way it treats its citizens. It has turned into a cruel state that kills people who dream of a beautiful, better future, like Nemtsov and now Navalny, who was imprisoned and tortured to death";
- 14:51 - French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet: “Navalny paid with his life for the fight against the system of oppression. His death in a penal colony reminds us of the realities of Vladimir Putin’s regime”;
- 15:02 - President of the European Council Charles Michel: “The EU holds the Russian regime solely responsible for this tragic death”;
- 15:10 (during a press conference) - leader of the Kyiv regime Zelensky: “Obviously, he was killed by Putin, like thousands of others who were tortured.”
- 15:16 (in the media), 16:50 (in social networks) - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: “Russia must establish all the facts, answer very serious questions”;
- 15:20 - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte: “Navalny’s death illustrates the unprecedented cruelty of the Russian regime”;
- 15:30 - President of Moldova Maia Sandu: “Navalny’s death in a Russian prison is a reminder of the regime’s blatant oppression of dissent”;
- 15:35 - German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock: “Navalny, like no one else, was a symbol of a free and democratic Russia. That's why he had to die";
- 15:43 - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “A grim reminder of what Putin and his regime are”;
- 15:49 - Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson: “The Russian authorities and President Putin personally are responsible for the fact that Navalny is no longer with us”;
- 16:14 - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz: “Navalny paid with death for his courage. This terrible news once again demonstrates how Russia has changed and what kind of regime is in power in Moscow”;
- 16:25 - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “Navalny’s death in a Russian prison, as well as one man’s obsession and fear, only highlight the weakness and rot at the heart of the system that Putin built. Russia bears responsibility for this”;
- 17:28 - French President Emmanuel Macron: “In today’s Russia, free people are placed in the Gulag and sentenced to death.”

In a short period of time, within two hours (from 14:19), Western politicians and the media at their side were able, as it were, to obtain the results of a forensic examination that had not yet been carried out, conduct an investigation, blame Moscow and render a verdict.

There is no other explanation other than the fact that all these reactions were prepared in advance.

We would still be able to believe in this incredible, miraculous speed if the whole

world had not watched the helpless “investigation” of terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipeline stretching out for many months, which ended in nothing.

A distinctive feature of all these statements is the complete absence of even a hint of the need to wait for the results of a forensic examination and an investigation.”

Two coincidences, for sure completely random, happened today.

1. The Munich Security Conference started with the Navalny's death (or just Navalny happened to die exactly on the day of the beginning of the MSC).

2. Yulia Navalnaya whom the US State Department started calling a widow since 2021, found herself in Munich on the day of her husband's death and on the first day of the MSC with a fully ready-made speech dedicated to Navalny's death.

"Putin and his friends will bear personal responsibility,” she stated from the stage.

And after her long-long speech Navalnaya approached Nancy Pelosi, kissed her and thanked her, smiling. For what? - FRWL reports

🇷🇺🇩🇪 How convenient that Navalny was killed on the very day his wife participated in the Munich Security Conference.

Putin usually plays 5D chess, and I cannot believe he would make such a weak move. Navalny's alleged 'assassination' is as damaging for Russia as the destruction of Nord Stream, which the media and politicians also wanted to pin on Putin.

How stupid do they think we are?

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on the United States to exercise restraint instead of making sweeping accusations regarding the death of Navalny and to wait for the results of the forensic examination.

The ministry also questions why the death of a Russian citizen is more significant to the United States than the death of an American, Gonzalo Lira, who was killed in a Ukrainian prison.

Kremlin comments on Navalny’s death
With an investigation ongoing, Dmitry Peskov cautioned Western leaders against making “rabid statements”

Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) is taking all the necessary steps to investigate the death of Alexey Navalny, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Navalny died on Friday afternoon in a penal colony in Yamalo-Nenets Region, where he had been serving a 19-year sentence for offenses related to “extremism.” According to the prison service, the 47-year-old felt unwell and lost consciousness after a walk, and was pronounced dead by doctors shortly after.

The FSIN “is taking all the steps that need to be taken in such a situation,” Peskov told reporters. As such, a special inquiry would not be needed, he added.

The Kremlin spokesman said that medical professionals will determine the exact cause of Navalny’s passing, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been kept informed of the situation.

Earlier, an RT Russian service source said that Navalny had suffered a blood clot.

US Vice President Kamala Harris declared that “Russia is responsible” for Navalny’s passing, while European Council President Charles Michel said that “the EU holds the Russian regime solely responsible for this tragic death.”

“Obviously, these are absolutely rabid statements,” Peskov commented. “There is no information about the cause of death. We consider such statements absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate.”

Navalny first rose to prominence as a right-wing activist and as one of the leaders of the “Russian march,” an ultranationalist rally formerly held in Moscow every year. He then shifted his ideology to align with Western liberal beliefs and positioned himself as an opponent of Putin, attempting to contest the 2018 presidential election despite being under investigation for fraud at the time.

READ MORE: Russian court issues arrest warrants for Navalny allies
Navalny was jailed in early 2021, initially due to breaking the terms of his probabtion. He received an additional 19 years for “extremism” last year. In December, he was transferred to the ‘Polar Wolf’ colony in Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Region, located 40km above the Arctic Circle.

An excellent short (17 minute) summary by Natali Morris from Redacted. She asks (and answers) these four questions:


Was he really a hero worth championing?
Was he poisoned by the Russian government?
Was he wrongfully imprisoned?
Was he actually Putin's main opponent?

(Spoiler alert: the answers are No, No, No, and No. :))

An excellent short (17 minute) summary by Natali Morris from Redacted. She asks (and answers) these four questions:


Was he really a hero worth championing?



And Natali never even got into why he was sent to prison in the first instance, probably because it is a very complicated story and when you try and research it on the internet it is hard to get to the bottom of with all the NATO propaganda. It was for fraud/embezzlement. Navalny worked for Yves Rocher, a French cosmetics conglomerate, running their Russian division, and he and his brother transferred more than half a million dollars of the company's money to another account which had nothing to do with the French company, but presumably, was for their own personal benefit and enrichment. The money was later returned in full to the company's account.

If you read mainstream stories about this event, the will say "Yves Rocher admitted that they suffered no harm", and there will not be much information about what actually happened, where Navalny put the company at risk of losing half a million dollars.

Then, Yves Rocher was bullied and threatened with boycotts because they prosecuted Navalny.

* * * * *

I think I will end this post with a joke: An American and a Russian walk into the bar and have a drink. The American says: "The propaganda in your country, it is really awful." The Russian replies: "Yes, it is indeed awful. The propaganda in your country, however, it is really good." The American says "What propaganda?"

"There is no other explanation other than the fact that all these reactions were prepared in advance."

By your excellent, detailed, timed-analysis, - you have convinced me of this.

Again; thanks very much for your continued work.

[pounamuknight]

Navalny may have left the world, but he also left a super revealing money trail :spy:

In 2011, his email account was hacked and released to the public (https://alansalbiev.livejournal.com/28124.html). The most damning email imo, was from CIA-cutout NED (https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-national-endowment-for-democracy-ned-the-legal-window-of-the-cia/5542401) requesting financial reports & informative reports

52717

Kinda reads like a manager requesting signed employment contract/reports from an employee

The email was from Frank Conaster, who still works for NED in Virginia- home of the CIA

52714

The "Maria" in the email is Maria Gaidar. She and Navalny ran DA!, a political group focused on capturing Russian youth demographic (http://daproject.ru/about/)

Wikileaks' US Cables Leaks pretty much confirms Gaidar's NED financial backin (https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06MOSCOW12709_a.html)g

52716

Remember the crazy farce when ex-Georgia president, Mikheil Saakashvili, was appointed Odessa's governor? (https://www.unz.com/pbuchanan/the-nutball-the-neocons-wanted-in-nato/) Well, Maria was also assigned as his deputy. However that didn't last long

1006551803096420352
Not as colourful as Navalny, but she's just as interesting a rabbit hole imo. Lets hope she stays on her managers' good side :fingers crossed:

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALEXEI NAVALNY THIS TIME ROUND

Since a pack of lies about Alexei Navalny (lead image, right) won last year’s Oscar for the best documentary film of the year when he was alive, there’s no doubt he can win another Oscar when he’s dead. But alive or dead, the prize-winning propaganda of Navalny’s story bears no resemblance to the truth. This is what happens in wartime, especially when the side which is losing the war on the battlefield – that’s the US, NATO and the Ukraine – claims to be winning the war of words against Russia.

The Navalny story is now in two parts: Part 1, the Novichok in his airport cup of tea, in his hotel water bottle, and then in his underpants which causes Navalny’s collapse, but fails to be detected by Russian doctors in Omsk, by German doctors in Berlin and Munich, and then by Swedish and French state laboratories. Part 2, Navalny’s sudden death after he had taken a walk in the IK-3 penal colony in the village of Kharp, in the Russian Arctic region of Yamalo-Nenets. The first part took 62 reports in this archive to expose the faking; the most telling evidence of this came from Navalny himself in the documented tests of his blood, urine and hair. According to these data, Navalny’s collapse was the outcome of an overdose of lithium, benzodiazepines, and other drugs.

Part 2 of the Navalny story began last Friday, February 16, with the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) announcement, followed by an official telegramme to his mother in Moscow, that he had died just after two in the afternoon, Yamalo-Nenets time; that was just after noon Moscow time. Two hours later the Russian media began carrying the official announcement. The wording of the last line of the announcement is significant. “The causes of death are being established”, the FSIN statement said. Causes — plural.

In the UK coroner’s court practice, what this means is that there is likely to have been a sequence of causation, medically speaking, with the first or proximate cause of death identified as heart, brain, or lung injury or failure; and the second, intervening or contributory cause of death such as biochemical factors, including prescription drugs in lethal combination; mRNA anti-Covid vaccination triggering fatal blood clots; or homicidal poisons. For example, in the case of the alleged Russian Novichok death of Dawn Sturgess in England in 2018, the evidence is of British government tampering with the post-mortem reports to add Novichok when it wasn’t identified at first.

In Navalny’s case, poisoning on the order of President Vladimir Putin has already been announced as the cause of Navalny’s death without evidence at all. The delay time required for the complicated processes of forensic pathology and toxicology to establish the evidence has been reported in the Anglo-American media to signify cover-up and body snatching. Meduza, an oppositionist publication in Riga, reports that “a doctor who advised Navalny’s associates” has said that blood clotting was “an unlikely cause of death” – this is medically false.

In speculation of poisoning as cause of death, there is at least as much likelihood that Navalny, his team, and their CIA and MI6 handlers devised a repeat of the August 2020 Tomsk operation; decided when Navalny met with his lawyer at the prison on February 14; but implemented two days later without the resuscitation Navalny himself was expecting.

The Anglo-American propaganda warfare army is already pronouncing the contributory Cause 2– Putin did it — as the cause of Navalny’s death. If the Russians announce the proximate Cause 1 as cardiac arrest or brain aneurism, without a Cause 2, they won’t be believed. In the short term, Cause 2 cannot be established with credibility in Russia since it took the British government ten years, 2006-2016, to fabricate their story of Russian polonium poisoning in the Alexander Litvinenko case. In the Russian Novichok cases in England, it has so far taken six years of court, police and pathologist proceedings, 2018-2024, without outcome, and another two years will follow.

The problem for readers to interpret what has happened is that the Anglo-American propaganda warfare machine is better at what it does than the Russian side. But then when it comes to war with guns, not words, the Russian side is far superior, as can be seen in the Ukraine right now. Accordingly, the Kremlin has decided to concentrate on the main fight. Inside Russia, it has been obvious for a long time that in or out of prison, Navalny alive was politically insignificant; now even less. The new western propaganda is as ineffectual for Russians as Navalny was himself.

And so the purpose of the propaganda is different. President Joseph Biden’s statement on Navalny’s death makes this clear. “This tragedy reminds us of the stakes of this moment. We have to provide the funding so Ukraine can keep defending itself against Putin’s vicious onslaughts and war crimes. You know, there was a bipartisan Senate vote that passed overwhelmingly in the United States Senate to fund Ukraine. Now, as I’ve said before, and I mean this in the literal sense: History is watching. History is watching the House of Representatives. The failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten. It’s going to go down in the pages of history. It really is. It’s consequential.”

For the German blood and urine proof of Navalny’s lithium and benzodiazepine addiction, start here and here. For the evidence from testing of Navalny’s hair, click.

The scientific research indicating the blood-clot risk from the coronavirus mRNA vaccines is summarized in many places; for example, here.

The medical consensus on the risk of combining benzodiazepines with other drugs through liver enzyme failure and fatal tachycardia has been documented here. Russian doctors typically prescribe a benzodiazepine called Grandaxin (tofisopam in the west) for reducing bipolar mood swings, diffuse anxiety, and panic attacks. If combined with a sedative also commonly prescribed in Russia for sleeplessness and branded as Teraligen (alimemazine), the risk of liver enzyme failure leading to heart attack is not as well known as it is in the US and UK, and not monitored by regular liver testing. Navalny, his family, and his organization have never acknowledged his prior medical conditions, nor the medications he has been taking. To date, however, they have made no complaints against the Federal Penitentiary Service for depriving Navalny of the medicines he has requested. It remains to be seen whether the family or the prison service releases these personal data now.

Listen to the Gorilla Radio discussion with Chris Cook, recorded over sixty minutes on Sunday morning Moscow time, February 18:

There is a notable difference between the US and NATO leaders on what happened to Navalny. In the wording Biden read out in his press conference, he said: “make no mistake — make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death. Putin is responsible.” When pressed by a reporter to clarify “was this an assassination?” the president said: “The answer is, I — we don’t know exactly what happened, but there is no doubt that the death of Navalny was a consequence of something that Putin and his — and his thugs did.”

The innuendo of murder does not (repeat not) appear in the statements by the French, German and British leaders.

The most loyal among the small allies of the US were also reluctant to repeat Biden’s claim and followed the French and British lead instead. Their remarks indicate the US is failing to hold its front against the Russians.

Canadian government leaders were circumspect on the cause of Navalny’s death; the one Canadian exception was Bob Rae, the former Ontario premier and currently Canadian representative at the United Nations. Rae tweeted: “Putin murdered #Navalny just as surely as if he’d strangled him with his bare hands.”

The Australian foreign minister, Penny Wong, stopped short of charging homicide, but imitated Biden: “We hold the Russian Government solely responsible for his treatment and death in prison.”

The New Zealand government was more cautious. Foreign Minister Winston Peters told reporters Navalny’s death was “untimely…Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.” Prime Minister Christopher Luxon tweeted he was “saddened to hear of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death. He was a fierce advocate of freedom and anti-corruption.” When pressed by a reporter, Luxon added that he might talk to the Russian ambassador.

🇺🇸🇷🇺West Goes Wild About Navalny Death, While Ignoring US Citizen's Death In Ukraine.

Western media and leaders apparently don’t need an investigation to blame Aleksey Navalny's death on Russian authorities, but somehow the same Western media and leaders have blatantly ignored the death of US citizen Gonzalo Lira in Ukrainian custody.

🇸🇰 Vice Speaker of the Slovak Parliament Ľuboš Blaha about Navalny's death:

It’s sad, of course, that the man died, but it’s strange that the whole West is now cheerfully promoting conspiracy theories here, and his death has not even been investigated. Putin definitely didn’t need his death, Navalny would have had to spend the next decades in prison and he didn’t threaten anyone politically. According to officials, the cause of his death was a blood clot. We don’t know anything else, the case is being investigated, everything else is conspiracies.

I will not pretend that I will cry all night because of Navalny now - thousands of children are dying in Gaza and all the media spit on them, they will now talk on air for a week only about this one American agent.
They better look at what the British and Americans are doing to Julian Assange, who is in custody on the verge of death in this glorious West, which prides itself on freedom of speech and protection of journalists. Let them remember how they remained silent when the American journalist Gonzalo Lira, who criticized Zelensky, recently died in Ukrainian custody.
They didn't even remember about it. And today they will moralize about Navalny’s death. Again, it’s always sad when a person dies, but this is pure hypocrisy. - FRWL reports

At 6:30, Glenn Greenwald shows a clip from a Navalny video in 2007 where he compares Muslim immigrants to cockroaches, and suggests that gun ownership is the best way to deal with "those big cockroaches" as he pulls out a hand gun.

Is there anything that "racist" Donald Trump has ever said that can hold a candle to comments like this? I don't even think David Duke or the Proud Boys have anything in their official resumes that compare?

And yet, Navalny, the Russian Mandela, is the darling martyred hero of those who would lecture the rest of us about "the basket of deplorables."

Alexei Navalny's 'far-right racist' past back in spotlight after Putin-critic's death
As world leaders pay tribute to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, some have drawn attention to some inconvenient aspects of his past.
https://news.yahoo.com/alexei-navalnys-far-right-racist-past-back-in-spotlight-after-putin-critics-death-150644657.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

Tributes have been paid across Europe and the US to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the latest critic of Vladimir Putin to die under mysterious circumstances.

Navalny, who died on Friday after falling unconscious in an Arctic penal colony, was hailed as one of the Russian president’s most formidable foes – a thorn in Putin's side who refused to cower to him. However, as Western politicians pay their respects, some more uncomfortable aspects of Navalny's career have been brought back to the surface.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was criticised for praising the 'courage' of Navalny by Mish Rahman, who sits on the party's NEC ruling body, referring to the opposition leader's "far-right" past.

"Navalny took part in the Russian March, an annual demonstration that draws ultranationalists, including some who adopt swastika-like symbols," Rahman tweeted. "He has never apologised for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March.

"Putin is an evil tyrant and nobody should be imprisoned for political opposition, let alone die this way. But that doesn’t mean that the leader of the Labour Party should be lauding a man with links to the far-right who refers to Muslims as 'cockroaches'."

Rahman appeared to be referring to a notorious video from 2007 in which Navalny appears to compare Muslim immigrants in Russia to "cockroaches" as he advocated for gun ownership.

In another video, he is dressed as a dentist and appears to compare migrants in Moscow to tooth cavities, Radio Free Europe reports. He says: "I recommend full sanitisation. Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively be removed through deportation."

Shortly before releasing both clips, which are still on his YouTube channel, Navalny was expelled by the liberal Yabloko party over his "nationalist activities", having participated in the Russian March, an annual rally associated with ultra-nationalist far-right groups chanting slogans such as "Russia for ethnic Russians".

"Anybody who expects Navalny to be an ideal Western liberal Democrat has been mistaken," Jade McGlynn, a researcher on Russian politics, told Euronews.

After leaving Yabloko, Navalny went on to co-found the National Russian Liberation Movement ( NAROD, which vowed to "fight against the ruling regime and kleptocracy" but was also viewed as far-right and anti-immigration.

In August 2008 Navalny referred to Georgians as "rodents" during Russia's attack on the country, in comments for which he later apologised.

Did Navalny's views change over time?

Navalny never apologised for the controversial videos from 2007.

Leonid Volkov, who served as the head of Navalny's network of regional political offices in Russia, told the New Yorker in 2021 that he regrets the videos but decided not to delete them "because it's a historical fact".

He told the magazine that Navalny always saw the Russian March as a legitimate form of political expression among Russians who want a free and democratic society. He added: “He believes that if you don’t talk to the kind of people who attend these marches, they will all become skinheads. But, if you talk to them, you may be able to convince them that their real enemy is Putin.”

Since the mid-2000s, Navalny appeared to have softened his stance on immigration, advocating for a visa scheme for Central Asian migrants and to protect their rights as labourers. He has also adopted more left-leaning economic positions and came out in support of gay marriage.

In interviews Navalny has said his ability to engage with both nationalists and liberals was a strength of his as a politician, according to Radio Free Europe. However, some remained sceptical that he had truly left his far-right populist life behind him, particularly due to his refusal to apologise for many of his older statements.

A row at Amnesty International

In 2021, Amnesty International apologised to Navalny for stripping him of his status as a "prisoner of conscience”.

The human rights group said in February of that year that it would stop using the term, after deciding his remarks in the 2000s amounted to "hate speech".

At the time, Julie Verhaar, Amnesty International’s acting secretary general, said speculation over the use of the term "prisoner of conscience" was "detracting attention from our core demand that Aleksei Navalny be freed immediately".

"This distraction only serves the Russian authorities, who have jailed Navalny on politically motivated charges, simply because he dared to criticise them," she added. “The term ‘prisoner of conscience’ is a specific description based on a range of internal criteria established by Amnesty. There should be no confusion: nothing Navalny has said in the past justifies his current detention, which is purely politically motivated."

Then, in May 2021, Amnesty International said “following careful evaluation", it had decided to restore Navalny's status, arguing that the Russian government had used its earlier decision to further violate Navalny's rights.

It said it apologised for the "negative impacts this has had on Alexei Navalny personally, and the activists in Russia and around the world who tirelessly campaign for his freedom."

However, the saga didn't end there, with a Muslim former Amnesty employee, who claims she was sacked for challenging the U-turn, going on to sue the organisation. In July 2023, Aisha Jung said she was lodging an appeal after all of her claims were dismissed by the Central London Employment Tribunal.

[Bruce G Charlton]

There is a rather useful word for this - "projection"; which can be understood as the tendency to accuse others of our own sins; to assume that other people will do what we ourselves would have done in the circumstances.

This happens quite spontaneously, because we use our self-knowledge and personal motivations as a "model" by which to understand other people. Such a natural tendency may be overcome by genuine empathy and strict honesty - but otherwise projection is "normal".

Since the Western leadership/ managerial/ intellectual class are, I believe, by a large margin the most dishonest and evil that the world has yet known - there is a great deal of this projection at work.

My assumption with such people; is that their accusations against others are in fact a form of inverted self-revelation: In other words; "They" are indirectly telling "Us" either what They Themselves have-done, will-do, or would want-to-do - in the same situation.

My, this Mr. Igor Sushko guy seems to be a goldmine of information about what is really going on in Russia. I checked out his Twitter feed and check this out!!!

https://i.imgur.com/S6vg5Dr.jpeg

Now, I have been wondering for a VERY long time, who is the go-between for Donald Trump and his puppet master, Count Dracuputin of Moscovannia? Well, Igor Sushko finally answered that question for me.

https://i.imgur.com/Es6I0xl.jpeg

Yup, it's Condi Rice. And both she and Trump are Republicans, so therefore it has to be true!!!

Also, thanks to Mr. Sushko's many Twitter posts, I now understand that Ukraine is doing a great job of winning the war, with all their HIMAR weapons. Wow, what a relief that is and good to know, after I've been misled by the fake news posts of Alexander Mercouris, Scott Ritter, Andrew Napolitano and other bleach drinking pro-Russia traitors. If only we can get Zelensky more money and re-elect Joe Biden, Ukraine will be saved.

Now I have to wonder, where is Rachel Maddow on this, why isn't she sounding the alarm on these important revelations??? She has been such a reliable source of info on how Russia has corrupted our American Democracy, so I think I better send her a letter on this one.

I have to say Mr. Sushko is amazing, because here is one person who has so much inside information that no body else has. Where have we seen whistleblowers like that before, who has been such a font of truth about what is really going on behind the scenes. Well, the wisdom of many of those exceptional persons has appeared on this forum in the part, like Charlie Ward, Simon Parkes, Corey Goode, Deborah Tavares, Kim Gougen, Dr. Michael Salla, etc. Mr. Sushko is clearly following in their magnificent footsteps!

Navalny likely killed by ‘one punch’ to the heart in classic KGB tactic, activist claims
Snejana Farberov
Published Feb. 21, 2024, 7:40 a.m. ET
https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/world-news/navalny-likely-killed-by-punch-to-the-heart-activist-says/

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny may have been killed with a single punch to the heart, a “hallmark of the KGB,” according to a human rights activist claiming to have insider intel.

The Kremlin’s fiercest critic was found with bruising on his head and chest consistent with the “one-punch” technique, Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the human rights group Gulagu.net, told the Times of London, citing a source at the remote “Polar Wolf” penal colon where Navalny died Friday.

“It is an old method of the KGB’s special forces divisions,” Osechkin said, referring to the much-feared Soviet-era internal security service.

“They trained their operatives to kill a man with one punch in the heart, in the center of the body. It was a hallmark of the KGB.”

In preparation for the fatal strike, Navalny, 47, had been kept outdoors for more than two hours in the Yamalo-Nenets region’s harsh, subzero temperatures to weaken his body, Osechkin said, citing the unidentified source working at the prison.

“I think that they first destroyed his body by keeping him out in the cold for a long time and slowing the blood circulation down to a minimum,” Osechkin said. “And then it becomes very easy to kill someone, within seconds, if the operative has some experience in this.”

Former inmates who had served sentences in the Arctic region had previously reported fellow prisoners being killed by guards in this manner, Osechkin said.

Nearly a week after Russia’s prison service reported that Navalny — President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest domestic foe, who had survived a poisoning attempt in 2020 — collapsed and died while taking a walk, his official cause of death has not been released.

A death notice that was given to his mother and lawyers stated that Navalny had died from a “sudden death syndrome” — a vague term that describes heart-related issues causing death.

The Russian authorities have refused to hand over his body to his family, saying it was needed for a two-week “chemical examination,” Navalny aide Kira Yarmysh reported.

Navalny’s widow, Yulia, has accused Putin’s regime of poisoning her husband with the nerve agent Novichok — the same chemical used in his 2020 failed assassination attempt — and then delaying the release of his body to cover up the murder.

Osechkin said he thought this was unlikely.

“It’s possible, of course, but when someone is under the control of the prison system, there are many options as to how to kill them,” the activist explained. “Novichok would leave a trace in his body and would lead directly back to Putin, given he has tried it once before.”

The Kremlin has vehemently denied any involvement in Navalny’s death, with Putin’s spokesman slamming these allegations as “unfounded and rude.”

[Open Minded Dude]

Roeper also addresses the so-called 'arrested' people in Russia in his article (translated):

https://www-anti--spiegel-ru.translate.goog/2024/der-verlogene-medienhype-um-nawalny/?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

"The fact that there were “hundreds of arrests” is also not true. Taking part in an unauthorized demonstration is only a misdemeanor in Russia. Anyone who is taken away comes to the police station, their personal details are recorded and they can then go home with a fine notice in hand. In the sense that the Western media suggests, no one was arrested unless they resisted state authority, which is also severely punished in Germany."

The lying media hype surrounding Navalny

It was clear that the Western media would create a huge hype around Navalny's death, but what is happening now goes beyond any previous framework, as an analysis of the "reporting" by Spiegel shows.

from Anti-Spiegel
February 20, 2024 6:00 am

I've never seen what Der Spiegel is currently doing. When Spiegel used to hype a topic, it would publish up to eight, but rarely more, articles on it per day. On the evening of February 19th, I counted how many articles Der Spiegel had published since Navalny's death four days earlier. There were an incredible 47 articles in total: 16 articles on the day of Navalny's death, 12 articles on February 17th, 7 articles on February 18th and after the Spiegel editors had enjoyed their weekend, they had 12 articles again on Monday, February 19th Navalny issue published.

I repeat myself, but to my knowledge there has never been such a massive campaign in Spiegel. That's also the reason why I don't go into the individual articles - there are simply far too many.

Instead, let's look at some background information and I assume that you will learn a lot of new things in my long article.
The “Messiah”

What particularly surprises me is the primitive propaganda that Spiegel uses, although it is no different from other Western media. The headlines of the Spiegel articles ranged from “ The legacy of a brave man ” to “ Russia’s only real politician ” to “Nawalny will be the messiah of the new Russia” .

I don't actually want to write about Navalny, because people don't talk badly about dead people, but unfortunately I have to touch on the topic briefly: Navalny was a radical and incorrigible racist and nationalist who, according to German law, was responsible for what he repeatedly said in public. would have ended up in prison for years for sedition. The AfD – and even the demand for “remigration” at the supposedly scandalous meeting in Potsdam – was nothing against Navalny’s demands that southern-looking foreigners be treated “like cockroaches” and shot . He never distanced himself from this - and that was just one example of the demands publicly represented by the alleged model oppositionist Navalny. I don't want to quote here how he referred to Jews.

At the anti-right-wing demonstrations that are currently being organized in Germany by the government and the media, people should actually be outraged by politics and the media because they are creating such a hype these days about a racist and anti-Semitic nationalist. But that doesn't happen for one simple reason: the German media never told its readers who Navalny really was and what he stood for. Almost nobody in Germany knows this.

In return, Western politicians and media are now once again telling the fairy tales about the exemplary liberal that Navalny supposedly was.
The “suffering” wife

I wouldn't have mentioned Navalny's wife Julia either if she hadn't come into the public eye herself. But she did and she just announced that she would continue the fight against Navalny. Apparently she needs money, because Ms. Navalnaya was repeatedly seen in expensive vacation resorts while her husband was in prison.

Navalny was already largely forgotten in Russia and his wife never had any supporters in Russia. But Navalny's organization was excellently paid from the West because it has a whole team in London that needs to be paid and Ms. Navalnaya certainly doesn't want to downgrade her lifestyle either.

Of course, I don't know what's been going on within the Navalny family, but since he's been in prison, she's had at least two lovers with whom she's been seen in public. This is not a problem for their reputation in the West; after all, the Western media mercifully overlooks it. If this were known in the West, the Western media would not be able to portray the lady as a “grieving” widow.

We owe the fact that this became known to Anna Gonchar, who once joined the Navalny organization as an idealist and then became something like Yulia Navalnaya's secretary. Gontschar has since left the organization in frustration and posted a video online in which she talked about all of this. Yulia Navalnaya initially had a romance with Yevgeny Chichvarkin, one of Navalny's most important sponsors, who also spoke about it publicly in videos and defended Yulia Navalnaya and her "fun-loving lifestyle". Among other things, he said that “Alexei was unfortunately arrested,” but Julia was not and that her life went on.

Julia Navalnaya is now in a relationship with Christo Grozev , a senior employee of the Bellingcat platform, which is financed and controlled by Western secret services , and who sometimes carries out joint “research” with Der Spiegel. Among other things, Gonchar had to book vacation trips for Navalnaya and her lovers. For example, according to the documents published by Gontschar, she and Grozev were in a luxury hotel on Mont Blanc from December 21st to 26th, 2023, less than two months ago, where the bill for the shared hotel room was almost $3,900.

It seems worthwhile to let the West pay you to fight against Russia.
The “grieving widow”

I wouldn't overstate the fact that Julia Navalnaya was invited to the Munich Security Conference. It is common for “propaganda ladies” like Navalnaya or the self-proclaimed Belarusian President Tikhanovskaya to be invited to such events as a supporting program, so to speak, in order to release their emotional speech bubbles for the media.

Only Spiegel readers and Tagesschau viewers probably believe that the Russian government killed Navalny, who is now completely unimportant in Russia, just a month before the presidential elections in order to launch a new anti-Russian media campaign just in time for the hot election campaign phase.

But Yulia Navalnaya immediately took on the role of the “grieving widow” and gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference entirely according to the wishes of her sponsors, although I have no doubt that she delivers her hate speeches against the Russian government out of conviction.

Yulia Navalnaya plays no role in Russia. Alexei Navalny certainly had rhetorical talent and he could appear close to the people. Yulia Navalnaya radiates from her toes to her hairline that she enjoys the money that Navalny got from his Western sponsors and that she is now getting. She comes across as arrogant and out of touch, and her announcement that she will continue Navalny's fight is more likely intended for Western audiences, to further inflame anti-Russian sentiment, than for Russia, where she has had or is unlikely to have very many supporters.

“Arrests” in Russia

Which brings us to Russia, where the Western media is reporting a great mood of mourning and hundreds of arrests. Support for Navalny has never been great in Russia and was found primarily among the youth of the cities of Moscow and Petersburg. Outside these cities, Navalny had few supporters.

What has been remarkable in the last two years has been the change in mood in Russia. When the events in Ukraine and the Western sanctions showed the Russians that the West wants to hit every single Russian and harm every single Russian, there was also a change in mood among the (now former) Navalny supporters. At least that's what I've noticed with those I know.

I didn't notice any malice in Russia about his death, but I didn't notice any marked sadness either. If Western media reported that around 200 or 300 Navalny supporters laid flowers in the city of 12 million people, Moscow, then that would be like 70 to 100 people gathering in Berlin to mourn someone. However, the Western media pretends that the whole of Russia is in shock and sadness, which is simply a lie.

The fact that there were “hundreds of arrests” is also not true. Taking part in an unauthorized demonstration is only a misdemeanor in Russia. Anyone who is taken away comes to the police station, their personal details are recorded and they can then go home with a fine notice in hand. In the sense that the Western media suggests, no one was arrested unless they resisted state authority, which is also severely punished in Germany.

Russian ambassador summoned

Many Western countries began summoning Russian ambassadors on Monday to hand them notes of protest over Navalny's death. The question immediately arises as to what right they have to do this, because just imagine it the other way around: Let's assume that a government critic is arrested in Germany because, for example, he was agitating in a pro-Russian manner (which is now happening in Germany after the... amended paragraphs 130 and 140 of the Criminal Code), and he dies in German custody.

How would the federal government react if Russia accused it of murder and summoned the German ambassador in Moscow because of it? That's right, people in Berlin would prohibit this interference in internal affairs.

The reverse is also the case, which is why it is obvious that these summonses of Russian ambassadors are only intended to have a media effect, but not a real effect, in order to further fuel anti-Russian sentiment in the West.
How people react outside the Western bubble

All of these actions by the West and its media are aimed primarily at audiences in the West; outside the West (and also in Russia) they have practically no effect.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning was asked about the death of Alexei Navalny and described it as Russia's internal matter :

“The question you asked concerns Russia's domestic politics. I don’t comment on them.”

Against the background of the sharp reaction of Western countries to the death of Alexei Navalny on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the spokesman for the Indian ruling party told journalists that Moscow was and would remain a close friend and ally of New Delhi. Asked how India would do “business” with Moscow following the news of Navalny’s death, he replied :

“Russia, I repeat India's position, has been, is and remains a close friend and ally of India. As a state, Russia has supported India and India, in turn, has supported Russia.”

The double standards of the West

While the West is creating this hype about Navalny's death, other cases are being deliberately overlooked. In Ukraine, American journalist Gonzalo Lira was arrested and tortured by the SBU secret service for criticizing the Kiev government and its policies, but neither Western media nor the US government were interested in his fate. When he contracted pneumonia in Ukrainian custody, he was denied medical treatment and died in prison in mid-January . However, this was not worth a single article for the Western media.

Julian Assange, who has been held in British custody for years under conditions described by the UN as torture, is mentioned only for the sake of completeness. If - God forbid - he did not survive the prison conditions in Great Britain, then Der Spiegel would not write almost 50 articles about it in four days.
Conditions in Russian prisons

Since Russia had no motive to kill Navalny (and certainly not at this point), only two possibilities remain: Navalny died of natural causes or was murdered.

Unfortunately, in Russia it is not a problem to smuggle pretty much anything into prisons. These are the realities in Russia, as I reported in my first article after Navalny's death.

In the article, I also wrote that I had heard from an informed source that the prison where Navalny was being held was apparently investigating whether a substance that could be used to poison Navalny had been smuggled in. An article by the opposition Novaya Gazeta Europa, which Der Spiegel also reported on, seems to confirm this. It was reported there that there had suddenly been great unrest in the prison, that all prisoners were locked up and their cells were searched. The article talked about a surprise visit by a commission.

Although Novaya Gazeta Europa claims that this started the evening before, from which it concludes that Navalny could have died a day earlier than officially announced, what is interesting is that the report confirms what I was told.

By the way, there is something else interesting about the article because it shows what I said in my first article, namely that you can have everything your heart desires in Russian prisons. Der Spiegel quotes from the article:

“On the morning of February 16, the excitement reportedly continued. The staff of the penal colony confiscated “mobile phones, maps and even boilers.”

Just ask German prisoners if they are allowed to have cell phones in their cells. This is also formally forbidden in Russia, but the supposedly inhumane conditions in Russian prisons are much looser in practice than on paper. I don't mean to say that Russian prisons are rest homes, but they are different than reported becomes.
The media campaign will continue

Everyone in Russia has been aware for years that the West would try to disrupt the 2024 presidential election. This has been a topic that analysts have discussed and pondered publicly for years and for which the Russian government has certainly been preparing.

It doesn't matter whether Navalny died of natural causes or whether he was murdered by Western or Ukrainian secret services who incited one of Navalny's inmates to do so and provided him with a corresponding substance. The violent reactions of the West and, above all, the unprecedented number of articles about Navalny prove that the West is exploiting his death with relish.

The West has probably come up with even more ideas to disrupt the upcoming Russian presidential elections. They take place in mid-March, so we can't wait to see what happens in the next few weeks.

Wikileaks Reveals Alexei Navalny’s US Funding as Washington Exploits His Death

Extracted from this are telling paragraphs from a Guardian article from 2004 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa):



…the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.

Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milošević at the ballot box.

Richard Miles, the US ambassador in Belgrade, played a key role. And by last year, as US ambassador in Tbilisi, he repeated the trick in Georgia, coaching Mikhail Saakashvili in how to bring down Eduard Shevardnadze.

Ten months after the success in Belgrade, the US ambassador in Minsk, Michael Kozak, a veteran of similar operations in Central America, notably in Nicaragua, organised a near identical campaign to try to defeat the Belarus hardman, Alexander Lukashenko.


And referencing the Moscow Part 2 cable, previously posted (above on post #38 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?122701-The-Death-of-Alexei-Navalny-February-16-2024&p=1602300&viewfull=1#post1602300)):



“Part 2 of 2” of the US diplomatic cable would even mention Russian government efforts to “hasten to irrelevancy” opposition groups, including NED*-funded “Democratic Alternative,” because Moscow was “intent on avoiding the orange- and rose-colored revolutions of its neighbors,” in reference to the US government regime change operations in Ukraine and Georgia.

The Western media itself admits that Alexei Navalny founded “Democratic Alternative.” US cables admit “Democratic Alternative” was being funded by the US government through the NED*. The Western media itself admits the US government funded organizations like this to implement regime change inside targeted countries – in this case Russia.

Alexei Navalny was aiding in Russia what the US government had already done in Georgia in 2003, leading eventually to NATO-trained troops attacking Russia in 2008, and did again in Ukraine in 2014, leading to NATO armed and trained forces killing Russian-speaking Ukrainians along Russia’s borders and threatening to attack
Crimea following a 2014 referendum resulting in its return to Russia.

its Russian, but according to a dutch site, this is from an Ukrainian intelligence officer, that Navalny died of blood clots.....
maybe someone can translate this...

Edit: this is the translation:

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov said that Russian politician Alexei Navalny died a natural death — due to a blood clot.

He said this on the sidelines of the press conference "Ukraine. Year 2024, according to the correspondent of hromadske.

"I may disappoint you, but what we know is that he really died from a thrombus. And this is more or less confirmed. It is not taken from the Internet, but, unfortunately, natural [death]," Budanov said.

This from Ukrainian media "Kiev Post":

HUR Chief Budanov Says Seems Navalny Died of Detached Blood Clot
Ukraine's intelligence says cause of Russian oppositionist's death aligns with initial assertions made by Kremlin.

February 26, 2024

Kyrylo Budanov, chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has said that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died of a blood clot.

“I may disappoint you, but as far as we know, he indeed died as a result of a blood clot. And this has been more or less confirmed,” Budanov told journalists on the sidelines at the “Ukraine. Year of 2024” forum on Sunday.

"This wasn't sourced from the internet, but, unfortunately, natural [causes],” he added.

Earlier Navalny’s team, reported that his body was finally handed to his mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, after more than a week since his demise in a remote Arctic colony.

Navalny, President Vladimir Putin's most prominent critic, died on February 16 in one of Russia's toughest prisons in northern Siberia.

He was serving a 19-year sentence on charges denounced by Putin's critics as political retribution for his opposition activity.

"Alexei's body was handed over to his mother," a spokesperson for Navalny's team, Kira Yarmysh said on X, formerly Twitter.

"Many thanks to all those who demanded this with us."

For a week, Russian officials had refused to give Lyudmila Navalnaya custody of her son's body.

She had travelled to the town of Salekhard in the Yamalo-Nenets region, the nearest settlement to the prison colony where Navalny died, to recover it.

His team has already argued that the Kremlin was trying to block a public funeral, which could turn into a show of support for Navalny's movement and his opposition to Putin.

The Russian leader, who famously never said Navalny's name in public, has not commented on the death of his most vocal critic.

His spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, has criticised statements by Navalny's wife and Western leaders blaming Putin for his death as "vulgar".

Initially, Russian authorities claimed Navalny's death resulted from "natural causes" following his loss of consciousness during a walk in the prison colony dubbed "Polar Wolf."

¤=[Post Update]=¤

So, now will any of these leaders of NATO members states ever apologize for having accused Putin of having murdered Navalny. Not holding my breath. Puppets they all are.

Putin reveals Navalny was to be swapped
Russian president said he was ready to exchange the opposition politician for some Russians held by the West
https://www.rt.com/russia/594398-putin-speks-on-navalny/

Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny, who died in Russian prison, was to be swapped for some Russian prisoners held in the West, President Vladimir Putin has revealed.

Speaking to supporters on Sunday, Putin said that senior Russian officials had floated the idea of a prisoner swap with the West a few days before Navalny’s death. The latter died in February at the Polar Wolf colony inside the Arctic Circle, where he was serving a lengthy sentence on a number of charges, including those stemming from a fraud case.

The president did not mention which or how many jailed Russian citizens were to be exchanged. He noted that the only condition for the swap would have been that Navalny would not return to the country and stay in the West.

The Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), an NGO formerly headed by Navalny, has previously claimed that the opposition figure was to be swapped for Vadim Krasikov, a Russian national convicted of murder in Germany in late 2021, and that talks on this were “at the final stage.” Maria Pevchikh, the current head of FBK, has also claimed that Navalny was killed to prevent the swap. Moscow has rejected all accusations on the matter, calling for patience until the end of the investigation.

Putin’s comments come as he is widely expected to win a landslide victory in the presidential election, securing his fifth term in office. According to the Central Election Commission, with an overall turnout of more than 74% and more than 82% of the ballots counted so far, the incumbent is leading the race with an estimated 87% share of the votes.

Text:
🇺🇸⚔️🇷🇺Alexei Navalny’s February death in an Arctic penal colony prompted a new wave of sanctions targeting Russia’s economy, upended delicate negotiations to exchange prisoners between Russia and the West, and left Russia’s limited opposition in disarray.

Russian President Vladimir Putin might not have planned for it to happen when it did.

U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Putin likely didn’t order Navalny to be killed at the notoriously brutal prison camp in February, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that deepens the mystery about the circumstances of his death.

P.S. Classic american tactics, blatantly blame someone of smth from every possible source, then subtently deny it in small letters in some publication way later.

Moscow court issues arrest warrant for Navalny’s widow

Yulia Navalnaya has been charged with being a member of an extremist organization, according to a press release issued by the city’s judiciary
https://www.rt.com/russia/600773-arrest-warrant-navalny-widow/

Moscow’s Basmanny Court has issued an arrest warrant for Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the late opposition figure Alexey Navalny, the city courts’ press service revealed on Tuesday. She has been charged with being part of an extremist group, it said.

https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.07/l/668d935d85f540464d622865.jpg

The court “upheld a motion [submitted] by investigators and ordered [Navalnaya] to be put into custody for two months,” the statement published on Telegram said. This would begin from the moment of her extradition to Russia or if she is detained within the country, it added.

The court said Navalnaya had “evaded” law enforcement authorities. Under Russian law, membership in an extremist organization is punishable with a fine of between 300,000 and 600,000 rubles ($3,450 and $6,900) or up to six years behind bars.

The court’s official statement did not elaborate on which specific actions taken by Navalnaya had led to the charges, only that she had participated in an “extremist community.” The Russian news agency Interfax reported, citing sources, that her case is related to her participation in structures founded by her late husband.

Several organizations created by Navalny, including his Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), have been designated extremist in Russia in recent years. The opposition figure was imprisoned in 2021 for violating the terms of an earlier suspended sentence.

He was handed an additional nine-year sentence in early 2022 for contempt of court and a second fraud conviction. In August 2023, he was sentenced to an additional 19 years on multiple extremism-related charges including creating an extremist group, endorsing extremism, financing such activities, and luring minors into them, as well as rehabilitating Nazi ideology.

Russian courts had previously issued similar arrest warrants against a number of Navalny’s allies, including his former right-hand man, Leonid Volkov, who had earlier headed the FBK, as well as the organization’s current head, Maria Pevchikh. None of them are currently in Russia.

Navalnaya herself also left Russia back in 2021 together with her children after the arrest of her husband. She has lived abroad ever since. In March 2024, she pledged to continue her husband’s work.

Navalny died at a penal colony in February while serving his sentence. The prison authorities said the 47-year-old suddenly fell ill after a walk and collapsed, and efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. The FBK stated that the death certificate provided to Navalny’s mother said he had died of natural causes.

Navalny’s widow publishes letter on cause of his death
Yulia Navalnaya has rejected the official explanation for her husband’s passing and is demanding a criminal investigation
https://www.rt.com/news/602659-navalny-widow-death-report/

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of late Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny, has published a letter sent to her by Russia’s Investigative Committee, detailing the causes for her husband’s sudden passing earlier this year.

https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.08/l/66be325f85f54025202b0018.jpg

Navalny died at a penal colony in February while serving a sentence. The prison authorities said the 47-year-old suddenly fell ill after a walk and collapsed, and that efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

According to the letter shared by Navalnaya, the politician died as a result of a “combined illness,” which included “hypertension with vascular and organ damage, diffuse myocardial sclerosis complicated by the development of cerebral edema, ventricular fibrillation and pulmonary edema.”

It’s noted that Navalny also had several concomitant diseases and conditions, including chronic pancreatitis, chronic cholecystitis, chronic gastritis, chronic hepatitis with cysts of the right and left lobes of the liver, osteochondrosis and several hernias, as well as encephalopathy, herpes and the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the trachea.

The investigators concluded that Navalny’s death “was not criminal in nature” and was instead “arrhythmogenic” with the triggering factor being a “critical increase in blood pressure.”

Yuliya Navalnaya has dismissed the official findings, insisting that her husband never had any heart diseases during his lifetime. She also complained that she has still not been handed over any of Navalny’s personal belongings, suggesting that the reason for this is that he was killed and that those responsible are trying to “cover their tracks.”

Meanwhile, Moscow’s Basmanny Court issued an arrest warrant for Navalnaya last month, charging her with being part of an extremist group and accusing her of “evading” law enforcement authorities.

Navalnaya left Russia in 2021 together with her children shortly after her husband’s arrest and has lived abroad ever since. She has nonetheless pledged to continue her late husband’s work.
