Shall we talk about Navalny…?

I mean “they” obviously would appreciate it if we did right? It’s a nice, polarised divisive topic that can never be resolved, gets people all worked up and ultimately doesn’t really change anything. So, pretty much an ideal talking point for these post-covid days.

And Navalny  – the trouper – certainly did his best to be topical with his demise – dropping tragically dead in nice time for the Munich Security Conference, enabling his widow to address this august assembly the very same day – with a speech she must have written very hastily indeed – unless it was pre-written in expectation of Putin’s hit men finally getting their guy.

So, did he fall or was he pushed? Or is he on an island somewhere with Epstein and all the other B-listers whose deaths, engineered or accidental or imagined,  were the most memorable thing about them?

Does it  matter?

Nope. well, not to anyone but him, his family and friends anyway.

And as long as we remember to remember that – let’s sit upon the ground and tell some sad stories about the man who once claimed the Kremlin put Novichok in his underpants

For a look at how Navalny’s death is being covered in Russia, hop over to Riley Waggaman’s blog.

“These remarks concern first of all the question of why the U.K. might have been interested in arranging the murder of Navalny for the sake of fomenting a burst of anti-Russian, anti-Putin passions. As I said to my interviewer, Britain is actively engaged in a not-so-secret war against Russia. It has provided the sea-going surface drones that have damaged or sunk several ships of the RF Black Sea fleet. It has encouraged and assisted the several attacks on the Crimea bridge since the start of the Special Military Operation. It is facilitating what might be called acts of terror against the Russian homeland.”

Navalny was a Russian ultranationalist far to the right even from Dugin sharing principles ideas with Bandera as far as treatment of other ethnicities or races was concerned as they were designated as Ubermensch (sub human). Navalny aligned himself with those who wanted pure white Russian nation cleansed from Jews and Asiatic races. He also shared with Bandera his disdain for the west except for Nazis who also wanted to cleans German population from racially imperfect and hated western decadence. Examining history reveals only superficially strange fact that Russian ultranationalists were always backed by western powers from British to American as their obsession with ethnic cleansing and ensuing civil wars guaranteed weakening or likely disintegration of Russian empire as much as Soviet Union. Navalny fashioned himself as a leader of his ultranationalist Group that worshiped another ultranationalist “hero” General Vlasov who organized up to two million strong Nazis’ armed and… Read more »

Check Wikileaks documents that revealed that organizations Navalny created and ran in Russia were directly funded by NED meaning CIA in similar way as such pseudo democratic organizations in Ukraine were created by CIA and funded by NED and slew of related Washington think tanks conspiring to overthrow Yanukovitch. Navalny’s role was not to introduce westerns style democracy as it has zero political tracking in Russia except for western connected Russian petty bourgeoisie and some western trained intelligentsia but to get rid of Putin. And that showed in polls except of one year when his alleged poisoning was used by western propaganda against Putin already condemned for Donbas. Nuland admitted funding of such groups and Ukraine and RussIa on video. Navalny was expelled even from another NED funded pseudo democratic organization Yabloko because of his hateful anti Muslim statements. He wanted Muslims, he meant Central Asiatic people, expelled from Moscow… Read more »

What’s interesting is that
“The CIA has been working with Hollywood since the Agency’s inception in 1947, offering advice and access to Langley HQ for those who portray the Agency favorably – Homeland, Zero Dark Thirty, and Black Hawk Down productions are among the collaborator…”

So obviously, a segment of the national security state wanted “Wag The Dog” released probably to humiliate the shameless Clinton crime family. In any event, the saxophone playing bum won a second term and if it wasn’t for Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress Social Security would be privatized today.

In our engaging conversation with Ray McGovern, we not only delved into the question of Navalny’s alleged MI6 ties but also explored the looming specter of Julian Assange’s upcoming High Court hearing. McGovern’s expertise sheds light on the broader implications of Assange’s legal battle, touching on issues of press freedom, government accountability, and the challenges faced by whistleblowers in today’s [increasingl authoritarian Western] world. Join us as we navigate the complex terrain of international justice and examine the critical importance of defending individuals like Assange who dare to expose the truth.”

Navalny is no more dead than Assange is or ever was in prison. Nor was he stuck in an embassy with a back door, side doors into the adjoining premises and tunnels underneath for his escape route. All embassies have hidden entrances and exits. Assange and the Cass Sunstein created Wikileaks bowed out of the public scene when Assange was exposed as a shill by many sources.

“The entire western political-media class are currently rending their garments about the prison death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and are being joined by the propaganda-addled citizenry of the western empire.

I really could not have a lower opinion of people who would rather talk about Navalny’s persecution in a far away country that has nothing to do with them than Julian Assange being persecuted at the hands of their own government. It’s the most pathetic, bootlicking behavior imaginable.” Yes, that’s right! Who gives a fuck? It’s amazing, the prime minister of Australia says the death of this nobody is an appalling atrocity.

Why does everyone just assume he’s dead because the news media say so? They lie to everyone about everything but we still default believe them until their next lie gets revealed. We’re like that friend whose spouse keeps cheating on them and is always fucking surprised every time it happens. To me believing the media is like thinking tv soaps are real life. It’s demented. They have a long form story they’re rolling out for us to keep us glued to our TVs and when their ratings go down they start a war or kill off a character. I don’t know if this bloke is dead. I don’t know if he was ever even real. I don’t care. I’ve stopped investing in and believing in any of this stupid TV melodrama.

You have to digest news articles like one last week in our paper that dealt with the triumphant rescue of a couple of Israeli hostages with “about 100 Palestinians” killed in the process. Says it all, really. It also suggests that the death of an individual, no matter who he or she is, is entirely irrelevant if it serves ‘the greater good’. When this OffG article was published I had no idea that Adviika was on the verge of collapse. All I’d heard was that our (proxy) boys were fighting off the Russian hordes etc etc. The reality appears to be that the place was not just about to collapse, but collapse in a rout. Our media has put a bit of a brave spin on this, after all nobody can resist the onslaught of waves of Russian savages and all that, but it really needs a distraction. A man… Read more »

The Vauxhall Cross ziggurat’s bulletin board have their usual standard of “reporting” on this one:

2) Tisdall can’t decide if Putin is Hitler or Lenin (this is encouraging – the fact that he didn’t just go straight for Hitler perhaps shows that card doesn’t work so much anymore… like any card that is ridiculously over-played).
3) Profile of Navalny praises his “enormous courage” and “irrepressible hope” (it’s martyr-hero time again!).

The fact that Russian’s tend to get stuck into Vodka quite early and frequently in their lives could have some bearing on his death. A bit like pop stars or Jazz musicians. Whether he was guilty of anything was never established, and probably never will be. He was apparently 47 when he died. But life in Russian prisons can’t be that comfortable. Moreover Assange is still waiting for his coup de grace, courtesy of the PTB.

From your link to Gilbert Doctorow:

“In short, what happened in the West this afternoon was a new campaign to vilify Vladimir Putin on the world stage based on a death which was, if I may quote former British PM Theresa May, ‘highly likely’ to have been perpetrated by British Intelligence for this very purpose.

In all of the false flag operations that have been directed by the West against Russia over the past decade or more, I have argued that the old Roman investigative principle of cui bono militated against the Kremlin having been involved in any way. So it is today: why would Putin want to murder Navalny, when the man is now largely forgotten within Russia.”

I do find the case and reported subsequent death of navalny interesting, considering Navalny was reportedly in prison he would not have been much of a threat to Russia and they could have quite easily waited Navalny out as the UK and US have done with assange. The Russian state sanctioning his death would be akin to launching flairs up and proclaiming “look over here” and is certainly giving ammo to the west and their anti Russian stance. I found the US VP statement extremely telling with her words of “Lets be clear Russia is responsible” remark, Considering at this time of writing no one is certain what has happened to Navalny and his potential cause of death, it does strike as a pre determined judgement based on very little. its also quite laughable and the general hypocrisy when the west talks about freedoms and then ignores the increased excess… Read more »

Ultimately its all about painting a picture and telling a tale — when you’ve got someone like Kamela Harris, a person who’s supposed to know which way ‘up’ was (at least we desperately hope so) coming out with statements like “No previous President has bowed down to a Russian dictator before”, a statement that is both factually true and utter BS, you wonder what kind of leadership we’re getting for out country.

It would be interesting to know just how far the MH17 plane crash occurred – or was brought down – just over the Donbass in March 2014, smack in the middle of the fighting going on. But there would be plenty of informed guesses. Why was the flight routed over the battlefield!? Moreover, It would have been easy to keep a safe distance since the fighting going on were with the Don Bass militia, who were hardly equipped to bring down modern jet planes. But there you go.

Nice ‘Richard II’ allusion there.

That Christopher Marlowe could write a decent line – perhaps he was the first on that island for the un-dead dead when it was less crowded than it is now.

‘Richard II’ was the play performed as part of the Essex Rebellion and which Elizabeth I knew was a thinly-coded call for her removal – yet its author wasn’t held for questioning, let alone tortured as happened to other Elizabethan writers who displeased the authorities like Thomas Kyd. Almost like they knew that Stratford geezer wasn’t the true author….

Thanks for that bit of info about Shakespeare’s charmed escape from being crushed in between “the fell and mighty opposites” of Elizabeth and Essex.

In the Tudor Reign of Terror I have always thought of Elizabeth as playing the role of Stalin — the intellectual who promoted art as propaganda for the regime. Stalin was a known fan of pianist Maria Yudina who famously gave his prize money to the Church for prayers for Stalin’s sins. Probably the best longterm investment Stalin ever made.

No paid propagandist ever wrote such memorably good things as Shakespeare did for free: about Elizabeth’s ancestors (Henry 4&5) nor so many bad things about their opponents (Richard 3).
