Interior Min Rep Elena Alexeeva: Nemtsov hit by assailants in a light colored car, as walking w/ acquaintance from Ukraine. Investig ongoing


I took a beating here in SWJ back on the Crimea event when I mentioned a number of times that in order to "understand" Putin and the Russia he has built one just needs to reread Orwell's 1984---down to virtually Orwell's same terms can be seen and found now inside Russia and in the current Russian leadership.

And that was a beating--then I mentioned over a number of times that Russia has evolved into a rouge state with again beatings and lately one can even apply the concept that Russia is a "state sponsor of terrorism" on a virtual "Holy War" against western values and alleged decadent western liberalism.

There is currently only one other organization on a global "Holy War jihad"-IS.

The US "Old Guard" political/diplomatic/international relations speaking multiple languages types have been gone since 1990-- when "we" decided that they are no longer necessary because "peace was upon us all" ---has left a major void in the US senior leadership decision making and it is now truly apparent.

Suggest many go back and reread Orwell's 1984, reread any article on fascism especially those written on the emergence of Russian fascism, and read the article I linked to recently on the Russian "Holy War" against the West and then ask the simple question" does it appear that the current US senior leadership have a strategy "any" strategy?

The answer is easy--there is none.
Notice just how quickly Russia "blames" the victim" and their trolls go to work "framing the Ukraine"

Putin's propaganda machin already produced video: "We warned you - they will kill themselves just to frame us" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iatd...ure=youtu.be&a

#Nemtsov murder proves him right, sadly: "3 years ago, we were an opposition. Now we are no more than dissidents” https://foreignpolicy.com/2015/02/27...ead-in-moscow/

Notice the Russian troll world shifts gears and uses this to “establish” an Ukrainian link –it is all nothing but the standard “it ain’t us” argument Putin has been using for over a year now and the West still thinks diplomacy will work???
Here's the "Ukrainian link", from Kremlin bots:https://twitter.com/klinok/status/571431786997288960https://twitter.com/klinok/status/571439075758084096https://twitter.com/jakoryuri/status/571426452136206336

From the hate factory:
"Total lawlessness. Closing a bridge at night because of a national traitor."

Russian media, following script:
"The Ukrainian girl with Nemtsov might have "led" him to the site of the murder."pic.twitter.com/jLkZigcuKU

Notice again the standard "it ain't us and it has got to be those Ukrainians own fault"?

That has been the massive Russian disinformation messaging since Feb 2014 and has anyone anywhere seen in the western media any push back on this messaging--none.

An interesting question-- does even the mainstream western media even know what disinformation messaging is and is the current mainstream journalism even able to answer it when they are so trained for the 30 second news bite and the 24 hour news cycle?
