Update: John Kerry has decided to comment:

Just nine hours after tweeting "Putin annexed Crimea and is now handing over Siberia to the Chinese," and three ours after calling for a "Russian Spring" march, prominent Vladimir Putin critic and former deputy prime minister (in March 1997 Nemtsov was appointed First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, with special responsibility for reform of the energy sector), Boris Nemtsov, was killed in the center of Moscow.

 As The BBC notes, the Russian opposition politician and former deputy PM was shot to death on a Moscow street. Life News is reporting he was shot in the chest four times on a street very close to Red Square.

 

Nemtsov's last 2 tweets today...

The scene of the murder:

As Life News reports,

Late on the Friday night in downtown Moscow on Vasilevsky Spusk was killed prominent politician Boris Nemtsov.

 

According to preliminary data, the killer shot four times at the 55-year-old politician and fled the scene. The opposition leader died on the scene of the shooting.

 

The death of the politician was confirmed by his colleague from the "Republican Party of Russia - People's Freedom Party" Ilya Yashin.

 

"Nemtsov was shot. He's dead - Yashin wrote on his page on "Facebook".

 

Boris Nemtsov was one of the founders and leaders of the "Solidarity" party, co-chairman of a political party RPR-Parnassus, as well as a member of the Coordination Council of Russian opposition

*  *  *

The question now: who did it - a retaliation or a provocation, and if so - who is behind it and why? And of course - how will PUtin respond? 

One thing is certain: the full weight of the western media will fall like a ton of bricks on Putin and on what has already been described as Russia's descent "into darkness." 

More sanctions are almost certainly imminent, as is the escalation over Syria and the Ukraine conflict.

Putin was targeted after he foiled the West's plans to annihilate Syria.

All along, according to Victor Thorn and Pete Papaherakies, George Soros has sought for Putin to start the dumping of the dollar, a very dangerou move for the survival of America's economy, but one that Soros has sought all along.

"'World financial crisis is stimulating and in a way the culmination of my life's work,' Soros once said. It seems that Soros believes himself to be a god, and, at age 84, taking down America is his final challenge.

''It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself somekind of god, the creator of everything,' Soros once told the UK Independent, 'but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.'"

And not to forget, there are many oligarchs which have to be dealt with! Those thives must pay for their theft, treachery and robbery of Russia! Justice must be surved!

You might be onto something here. Poroshenko is on his way out, a plausible assumption of course.
The prominent "opponent" gets murdered Russian mafia style by Putin. The other, former prominent opponent Khodorkovsky breaks the silence. The time has come to stand up and resist. He'll accept the challange to unite the people of Kiev against the out of control mafia dictator if kindly asked.

So the typical BS Hollywood script to be sold by the propaganda machine.

Given the Ukrainian regime's prediliction for false flags (Maidan, Odessa, Mariupol, Khorson, MH17, Kramatorsk, Volnovkha) - how long before something just sort of happens to these boots? 1 day? 1 week? 1 month?

Russia may consider allowing Chinese investors more than 50 percent stakes in its strategic oil and gas fields, an official said on Friday, an about-face by Moscow that underlines its need for foreign help to develop energy reserves.

While closely guarding control of the oil and gas fields that supply the lifeblood of its economy, Russia has forged alliances with some Western companies to obtain the know-how it needs to tap hard-to-reach deposits.

But now that Western sanctions over Moscow's role in Ukraine have all but halted that cooperation, Russia has overcome a "psychological barrier" and is ready to deepen its economic ties with China, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said.

"We have a strategic partnership with China and now decisions are made much faster than before. In particular, we have a gas contract, a second one will be signed soon. Now we know China better: their motives and intentions are understood," he told a conference in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk.

"There used to be a psychological barrier. Now it doesn't exist any more. We are interested in maximum investments in new industries. China is an obvious investor for us."

 

President Vladimir Putin has pushed for closer ties with Asia since the European Union and United States imposed sanctions on Russia last year over its role in the Ukraine conflict, plunging relations to lows not seen since the Cold War.

...

Most of Russia's oil production is based in western Siberia, where fields are running out. Any new areas for discovery, such as east Siberia and the Arctic, and hard-to-recover resources, would require foreign assistance.

Whomever did it, has not come close to the USA's record of knocking off JFK, Bobby Kennedy, MLK, and Malcolm X - the odds of random assassins successfully murdering these individuals in that relatively short span of time is statistically improbable...

Assassination has become official U.S. policy.

Obama’s assassination of bin Laden set a law-breaking precedent as calls to assassinate Gadhafi quickly emerged after the killing was made known. It was then that Shaul Mofaz, a former Israeli Defense Minister and current head of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, acknowledged that the U.S. has adopted Israel’s already existing assassination policy.

Worse yet, according to Prof. Michael Rozell in 2011, Mofaz argues that Obama’s action justifies Israel’s assassinations: “Mofaz said in an interview with Israeli radio on Tuesday that Washington’s decision to kill bin Laden rather than try him in a court of law justified the former policy that Tel Aviv implemented against Palestinians that included killing Hamas and other senior Palestinian officials.”

None other than John Brennan, director of the CIA, has been dubbed by critics to be Obama’s "assassination czarKill List Exposed: Leaked Obama Memo Shows Assassination of US Citizens "Has No Geographic Limit"

"There is no way that Putin would do such a stupid thing."

That people tend to say he wouldn't be so rash, suggests to me at least the possibility he might indeed have done so if he felt the need to eliminate his opponent and calculated he could pull down enough wool over people's eyes to get away with it. The art of war says to keep your opponents off balence. Keep them guessing. If he felt the risk worth the reward, why not ? I rather guess he'll be over seeing the investigation himself. What better than to accuse the west of the hit to stir up trouble for Russia while eliminating a dangerous opponent ?

It's anyone's guess who did the deed or why. After the dust clears perhaps we'll see some party or persons who benefitted most and make a shrewder guess at who was behind it. Perhaps none will gain but all will suffer in some manner from the fall out. For all we know at this point he could've owed money to the local mafia. There's little doubt the western media will paint Putin as the bad guy. All parties will be scrambling to leverage the incident to their advantage. The hew and cry from the politicians and media and conspiracy theorists will raise such a dust cloud the truth will become invisible. One can only pray it doesn't become an assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand kind of  moment.

Richard Walker says it all, in regards to the workings of America’s nation building:

“It’s been almost four years since the United States, England, and France helped radical groups overthrow the Libyan government and assassinate its leader, Muammar Qadaffi, and to this day the north African country has been unable to establish a stable government and begin rebuilding the devastated country.

“Ironically, in 2011, British Prime Minister David Cameron described Libya as a beacon of democracy just before it descended into complete chaos.

“Those who have since fought to control the country have been militias armed by the West or by way of looting the country’s military arsenal.” (AFP)

Secret files from Qadaffi's intelligence service now in the hands of London lawyers reveal the duplicity and hypocrisy of Tony Blair's dealing with Qadaffi, going back to 2007, a mere four years before NATO decided to bomb Libya.
