Putin Spokesman Says Nemtsov Murder Was "100% Provocation"
Just a few short hours after the terrible murder of Russian opposition politician and outspoken Putin critic Boris Nemtsov, US' John Kerry was quick to condemn the actions of the "reformer" and demand Russia's "expeditious investigation," and President Obama has since issued a statement "admiring [Nemtsov's] struggle against corruption." The undertone was clear - 'Putin did it'. Furthermore, President Poroshenko has claimed that Nemtsov was on the verge of "exposing direct Russian links to the Ukraine conflict." As many realise the futility of trying to determine whether it is a Russian act, a CIA act meant to look like a Russian act, or a Russian act meant to look like a CIA act, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the Nemtsov murder was "100% provocation... It looks like a contract killing."
Opposition politician Boris Nemtsov died in the center of Moscow after he was shot at four times. A number of leading figures from all sides of political spectrum called his murder a "provocation".
Boris Nemtsov, a veteran opposition figure in Russia, was gunned down in a drive-by attack in central Moscow on Friday night. The murder triggered worldwide condemnation and calls to bring the killers to justice.

As The Telegraph reports, President Poroshenko has stated that Nemtsov planned to reveal Russian links to the Ukraine conflict...
Iryna Baliacheva, a Russian political migrant living in Ukraine told reporters Putin was to blame for the murder.
"Putin opened Pandora's box and released dangerous powers: non-acceptance of a different opinion (from his), representatives of the opposition were called traitors, while we (Ukrainians) are considered US Department of State agents.
"And now people who believed in Russia's television lies may also believe that some robbers killed him, but I think that this was organised by Putin in order for him to stay in power."
The gathering in Kiev came as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, said on Saturday Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov was murdered because he planned to disclose evidence of Russia's involvement in Ukraine's separatist conflict.
Poroshenko paid tribute to Nemtsov, who was shot dead late on Friday, and said the fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin had told him a couple of weeks ago that he had proof of Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis and would reveal it.
"Boris Nemtsov, a big friend of Ukraine and big patriot of Russia has been killed. He was like a bridge connecting Ukraine and Russia, he built the kind of relations between our countries that I would like to see," said Poroshenko.
"To me Nemtsov is a symbol of a Russian citizen that connects (Ukraine and Russia) and sincerely respects Ukraine."
"Boris had declared that he would provide the clear evidence of Russian Armed forces' participation in (the war) in Ukraine.
"Somebody was afraid of this, Boris wasn't afraid. Killers and executors were afraid."

Secretary Kerry: February 2015 » Murder of Boris Nemtsov
I am shocked and saddened to learn of the brutal murder of former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov in central Moscow. Boris Nemtsov committed his life to a more democratic, prosperous, open Russia, and to strong relationships between Russia and its neighbors and partners, including the United States. He served his country in many roles – in the federal government, in the parliament, as Governor of Nizhniy Novgorod, and as a political leader and activist. In every post, he sought to reform and open Russia, and to empower the Russian people to have a greater say in the life of their country. His absence will be deeply felt in Russia and around the world. The United States urges the Russian authorities to act expeditiously to investigate and bring to justice those responsible. Our thoughts are with the Russian people and with Mr. Nemtsov’s family and friends as we mourn his loss.

Statement by the President on the Murder of Boris Nemtsov
The United States condemns the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov, and we call upon the Russian government to conduct a prompt, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of his murder and ensure that those responsible for this vicious killing are brought to justice. Nemtsov was a tireless advocate for his country, seeking for his fellow Russian citizens the rights to which all people are entitled. I admired Nemtsov’s courageous dedication to the struggle against corruption in Russia and appreciated his willingness to share his candid views with me when we met in Moscow in 2009. We offer our sincere condolences to Boris Efimovich’s family, and to the Russian people, who have lost one of the most dedicated and eloquent defenders of their rights.

It appears - no matter who or what was responsible - we're back at near-Cold War levels of hostility between the USA and Russia.

An actual politician that puts his country first and actually tells the truth regarding false flag events. Things have gone full circle. Maybe the Russian population admired Kennedy back in the day. It's horribly depressing the out of control government. Probably bullish for liquor sales as more and more people wake up to the fact they have been played for the past 50-101 years.
This guy is a figure from the 90's a Yeltsin man. He was part of the Yeltsin government that openly destroyed Russia's economy and was responsible for the give aways of assets of all classes to the Oligarchs. When Putin's party began to come to power, this guy's party was unable to win even one seat in Parliament. It was after his party's utter failure to convince Russians to stick with Yeltsin style government, which was Oligarch and America centric, that he became the west's favorite opposition figure. His game was to stay in Moscow, funded by westen NGO's, and organize street demonstrations. A sort of mini Madian movement. At his peak of popularity, his party had a 5% approval rating, this is now down to about 1% personally.
In short, he was totally washed up. Living off of Oligarch money and western NGO handouts. Needless to say, he was in favor of Russia becoming a puppett of Washington in every sense, and favored American corporations to run Russias resource based economy.
Now, I know little of him really. He was such a minor figure as to be not noticed in the everyday politics of Russia. I know little of him, because he has been a nobody since the Yeltsin pro western oligarchs were voted out of power.
His death? Well, I am not god, I can not tell you who and why! All I can do is ask "who benfits?" "why now?"
Given the outright war against Russia by Washington DC, and Kiev's need for false flags right now. I might not be surprised if this war the perfect false flag. He was a nobody, so his death means no more than if I was shot, i.e. nothing would change. He would be an easy kill, with a large propaganda return.
Here is my complaint with Putin and the Security Services of Russia. Given this guy's position as one of the few western known opposition figures, WHY did't FSB and City Police Units keep a 24/7 protection on him? He was of more value to Washington dead, than alive. But I guess you can't know every trick that Mossad can play on you. Or CIA or MI5.
Here is a side story from over a year ago. Russian security services uncovered a British embassy based unit of MI5 who were in the country equipped to snatch Mr. SNowden, when and if their spies could locate him and find a loophole in the security around him. All the assets to snatch him and race into Poland or out into the Baltic Sea were found to be in place. The team left Russia after FSB and Russian Media blew the whistle on their presence. And don't think it would have been impossible to get him out once he was taken. Russia isn't like Europe. There are millions of routes out through wilderness, down river systems. Even by low flying helicopter across a totally rural flight path. Poland would of course be cooperating with NATO backing of electronic jamming if needed to blind a radar or two, or silence a radio circuit.
Looks like a typical Gladio op to me.
It makes about as much sense for Putin to have taken out this guy, as Obama ordering a hit on Lyndon LaRouche.
Boris Nemtsov and of course Putin is at fault.” Of course we all know that is how the west will read this. Nonetheless, before all the low-octane analysis and clueless reporting starts let’s be clear: Nemtsov was politically so (self- ) marginalized in Russia that he had to go aboard for anyone to notice him (like Kiev). He was politically dead before he was murdered. Thus, there can be no doubt this is a false flag op. Many in Washington are grinning and probably celebrating. No matter.
Jack dig into "Elite Settlements" Nemtsov Yeltsin govt...
Nemstov inroduced Mafiya institutions where before were noone..
"Red Mafiya" same as the others same enablers
or maybe you already know this....
Nizhny Novgorod he is hated for his corruption, open theft..
You don't think the CIA has a standing hit order on Putin's head?
What better way to send a message to the CIA's NGO's?
honestly guys, our various 'services', fbi, cia, nsa, god only knows what else have never appeared to be very intelligent. as is the congress, or the military. they never have been. never will be.
why? because if you had smarts, could speak a few languages, had some drive, could contain your perverse instincts such that they wouldn't be caught out and bring you down, then you wouldn't work for .gov
you would work for goldman sachs. i am not joking. or some similar top of the line - financial, fortress, blackstone etc.
america is brute force, crude, immature and at times just silly. always has been, won't get better now.
it's just a shame, it did not have to be this way.
"At his peak of popularity, his party had a 5% approval rating"
Exactly why this whole story stinks.
Nemtsov had no power to interfere with whatever Putin wanted to do. All Mr. N could do was whinge from the sidelines for the CNN cameras. Why would Putin take him out? It would be like swatting a gnat. And on the doorstep of the Kremlin? No way is Putin even remotely that stupid.
It sounds like a set up in the propaganda war, one designed to make Putin look more of an ogre to western eyes and maybe reduce his popularity at home a little. But if the plotters hoped for another Maidan moment, I do not think Nemtsov's death would be enough to cause it.
I think there needs to a correction here Jack.
MI5 is internal to Britain or UK. and
MI6 external.
Just my humble opinion.
My mistake!
Vlad's heading up the investigation into the Nemtsov murder.
"I'm determined to find the real killer," exclaimed Mr. Putin, who vowed to search every golf course in Russia if that's what it took to bring the real killer(s) to justice.
Hi Amerikan ' Bob ' Patriot .
"bob" is freud slippage... gives away his dick so short in real.....

He's hired OJ to track down the responsible party.

Saturday 28 February 2015
Russian officials investigating the murder of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov have claimed Islamist extremists may have been behind his death, or even extraterrestrial aliens.
Other possible motives listed by the Investigative Committee, which has Vladimir Putin as its executive, included an attempt to destabilise Russia, the Ukraine conflict and his personal life.
Mr Nemtsov was shot four times in the back by a gunman in a car as he crossed a bridge in view of the Kremlin just before midnight on Friday, police said.
The 55-year-old was walking with a Ukrainian woman after they ate at a restaurant in Red Square. She escaped unhurt.
A statement from the Investigative Committee said Mr Nemtsov may have been a “sacrificial victim for those who do not shun any method for achieving their political goals”, echoing the comments by Mr Putin's spokesperson and other Russian politicians calling the attack a “provocation”.
Possible connections to the Ukrainian conflict and Islamic extremism are also being investigated, it said.
The Committee announced it was considering whether there was "personal enmity" towards the politician in his private life as state-controlled television gave considerable attention to the woman he was gunned down in front of, identifying her as a Ukrainian model 30 years his junior.
Officials did not address accusations by the former Deputy Prime Minister’s supporters that he was killed for being one of Mr Putin’s most prominent critics.
Speaking to Russia's Sobesednik news website on 10 February, Mr Nemtsov had said he feared for his life.
"I'm afraid Putin will kill me,” he added. “I believe that he was the one who unleashed the war in the Ukraine. I couldn't dislike him more."
Hours before his death, Mr Nemtsov denounced the President’s policies as "mad, aggressive and deadly" and was due to lead an anti-government Spring March on Sunday protesting against the Kremlin’s alleged involvement and the economic crisis in Russia. Russian police investigate the the body of Boris Nemtsov, a former Russian deputy prime minister and opposition leader
He was also working on a report containing evidence that he believed proved Russia's direct involvement in the separatist rebellion that has raged in eastern Ukraine since April.
Moscow has continually denied accusations it is supporting the rebels with troops and sophisticated weapons.
Mr Putin condemned the murder of Mr Nemtsov, which his spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said could be a possible "provocation" coming just a day before the march. Mourners in Kiev's Independence Square hold a placard reading "'Putin killed my friend' during a memorial ceremony for Boris Nemtsov in Ukraine on 28 February
Organisers have since cancelled the rally and instead called for a demonstration to mourn him on Sunday in central Moscow.
The city gave quick approval for that gathering, in contrast to its usual slow and grudging permission for opposition rallies.
Through Saturday morning, hundreds of people came to the site of Mr Nemtsov's death in the shadow of the Kremlin to lay flowers. People gather at the site where Boris Nemtsov was murdered, with St. Basil's Cathedral seen in the background, in central Moscow, February 28, 2015.
Mr Putin has ordered Russia's top law enforcement chiefs to personally oversee the investigation.
Britain, the US, Germany and other countries have all expressed sadness and called for a full and transparent inquiry to bring the perpetrators to justice.
David Cameron said he was "shocked and sickened" at the "callous murder".
"This despicable act must be fully, rapidly and transparently investigated, and those responsible brought to justice," the Prime Minister added. Nemsov has been an outspoken critic of Putin
"Boris Nemtsov was a man of courage and conviction. His life was dedicated to speaking up tirelessly for the Russian people, to demanding their right to democracy and liberty under the rule of law, and to an end to corruption.
"He did so without fear, and never gave in to intimidation. He was greatly admired in Britain, not least by his friend Lady Thatcher, who visited him in Russia and who would have been appalled by today’s news.
"The courage of Nemtsov’s life contrasts with the utter cowardice of his murder.
"I extend my condolences to Boris Nemtsov’s family and friends. The Russian people have been deprived of a champion of their rights. Boris Nemtsov is dead. But the values he stood for will never die."
Mr Nemtsov served as a regional governor and then Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister in the 1990s and once was seen as a possible successor to Boris Yeltsin, the first elected President.
After Mr Putin came to power in 2000, Nemtsov became one of his most vocal critics and fell out of favour with the Kremlin.
It was not I nor any of my other Ancient Alien cousins
Uai!
Obummer could destabilize Putin ....
In the USA!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
The deceased was a son of a bitch.
So most Russians regard the thing.
If the CIA did the favor of killing him, there is an online list (in Russian) with suggestions.
Many people laughing in the blogs, you can not imagine ...
Do not ask me addresses, try as I do here in Brazil with a keyboard and a lot of patience ...
Putin has 85% approval of the Russian way, they think Putin is being "loose", which should have sent bullet in Ukraine.
Neither Lula in Brazil had so much support ....
Anyone out there ever read "Club-Orlov" ?:

"You guys want a war, you will have a war ...."
Very interesting reading about how the Russians think and act.
You have 140 million people wanting to give change to the West abuses, only Putin has patience to endure the slaps in the face.
Get ready, the shit will grab soon.
hehe.
Former deputy PM and critic of Vladimir Putin, who was due to lead major rally on Sunday, was killed near the Kremlin.
World leaders led by David Cameron and Barack Obama have condemned the killing of prominent Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead in Moscow on Friday evening.
Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and a sharp critic of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was reportedly shot four times in the back by a killer in a passing car.
Cameron said the callous murder must be “fully, rapidly and transparently investigated, and those responsible brought to justice”.
“His life was dedicated to speaking up tirelessly for the Russian people, to demanding their right to democracy and liberty under the rule of law, and to an end to corruption,” the prime minister said. “He did so without fear, and never gave in to intimidation.”
The US president called on Russia’s government to conduct a “prompt, impartial and transparent” investigation, describing Nemtsov as a “tireless advocate” for citizens’ rights and fighting corruption.
‘Assassination’A spokesman for German chancellor, Angela Merkel, said she was dismayed by Nemtsov’s killing and praised his courage in criticising government policies.
The office of the French president, François Hollande, described the killing as an “assassination” and described the politician as a “courageous and tireless defender of democracy and a dogged fighter against corruption”.
The killing took place in the very centre of Moscow late on Friday evening on a bridge near St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, two days before Nemtsov was due to lead a major opposition rally in Moscow.
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the president would take the investigation into Nemtsov’s death under “personal control”, which was considered odd given the Kremlin is a leading suspect in Mr. Nemtsov's death.
However, “Putin claimed that this cruel killing has all the signs of a hit, and is a pure provocation,” said Peskov. He said Putin offered condolences to Nemtsov’s family.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev echoed the suggestion that the killing was a provocation: “It’s an attempt to push the situation into complications, maybe even to destabilising the situation in the country.”
Russia’s investigative committee was pursuing several lines on inquiry, including the possibility it was an attempt to destabilise the political landscape.
The committee, which reports to Putin, said the killing could be linked with events in Ukraine or have been carried out by radical Islamists. Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the committee, said Nemtsov had received threats in connection with his position on the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris last month.
Nemtsov, 55, was deputy prime minister during the 1990s in the government of Boris Yeltsin. He had written a number of reports in recent years linking Putin and his inner circle to corruption, and was one of the most well-known politicians among Russia’s small and beleaguered opposition.
‘Shot four times in the back’Footage from the scene showed police experts examining the corpse of a man, dressed in jeans and lying on the tarmac, with the domes of St Basil’s in the background. Fellow opposition politicians confirmed the news, while a police spokeswoman said a manhunt was under way for the killer.
“He was shot four times in the back, as a result of which he died,” Elena Alekseyeva told Russian television. She added that the killer escaped in a light-coloured car.
Other official sources told Russian media that Nemtsov had been walking with a female companion, who was unharmed, at the time of the killing. The woman was reportedly a Ukrainian national and was taken for questioning by police. One report described her as a model who was 30 years his junior.
Just hours before his death, Nemtsov had appeared on Ekho Moskvy radio calling on Muscovites to attend an opposition march planned for Sunday. The march against Putin’s government and the war in Ukraine was due to take place in a suburb of Moscow.
On Saturday opposition leaders said they wanted to cancel the rally and hold a memorial event in the centre instead. Authorities said this would not be permitted.
Opposition figure Leonid Volkov later tweeted that a march had been sanctioned by the Moscow mayor’s office. It would go from Kitay-Gorod metro station to the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, where the politician was killed.
One of the other organisers of the march, Alexei Navalny, was jailed on 19 February for 15 days. Nemtsov himself had been detained briefly a number of times in recent years for taking part in political rallies, and was seen as one of the old guard of the Russian opposition.
“Today before the programme he asked me if I wasn’t scared to have him on air,” Alexei Venediktov, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, tweeted. “It wasn’t me who needed to be scared.”
“We will answer Nemtsov’s murder with everyone coming out to the rally on 1 March, it’s the best thing we can do for now,” wrote Gennady Gudkov, another opposition politician, on Twitter.
The immediate reaction in Moscow was one of shock and amazement. While there has been a noticeable crackdown on opposition since Putin returned to the Kremlin in 2012, and especially since the conflict in Ukraine, no major political figure has been killed in Russia for a decade. Many previous contract killings, such as that of the investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya in 2006, were never solved.
‘Rolling into the abyss’On Saturday morning, people came to lay flowers at the site of the murder.
Mikhail Kasyanov, a former Russian prime minister now also in opposition, said: “In the 21st century, a leader of the opposition is being demonstratively shot just outside the walls of the Kremlin.
“The country is rolling into the abyss.”
Russian pro-democracy activist and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov said on his Facebook page: “Devastated to hear of the cold-blooded murder of my long-time opposition colleague Boris Nemtsov in central Moscow, quite close to the Kremlin.
“Shot four times, once for each child he leaves behind. A man of Boris’s quality no longer fit Putin’s Russia.
“He always believed Russia could change from the inside and without violence; after 2012 I disagreed with this. When we argued, Boris would tell me I was too hasty and that in Russia you had to live a long time to see change. Now he’ll never see it. Rest In Peace.”
Michael McFaul, US ambassador to Russia from 2012-2014 and now a Stanford University professor, called the shooting “one of the most shocking things that I can remember happening in Russia for a long, long time”.
Earlier this month, Nemtsov gave an interview in which he said he was scared that Putin would try to have him killed. A self-assured and colourful character, Nemtsov enjoyed the media spotlight and never minced his words. He came to prominence as a reform-minded governor in the Nizhny Novgorod region during the 1990s, before he was named deputy prime minister under Yeltsin.
He had criticised Putin and his regime both for corruption and for the recent war in Ukraine, which he said was manufactured by Putin. He was featured in a number of lists of traitors and members of a supposed “fifth column” inside Russia published by pro-Kremlin and nationalist figures.
Putin himself has spoken of a “fifth column” in the country and, in recent weeks, politicians and nationalists launched an “anti-Maidan” movement in Russia and said they would not allow opposition politicians to create a Ukrainian-style uprising in Moscow, suggesting that the opposition was working at the behest of foreign enemies of Russia.
World leaders silent over mass murder and ethnic cleansing by Nazis in East Ukraine.
The value of the western leaders is clearly marked by these positions.

The rise and sad demise of Boris Nemtsov, a former Yeltsin loyalist who became a remorseless critic of Putin
Luke Harding
Charismatic, good-looking and typically dressed in tight-fitting jeans and a casual leather jacket, Boris Nemtsov was a genuinely popular Russian politician. He was also a remorseless critic of Vladimir Putin.
He spoke out strongly and vehemently against government corruption. Nemtsov opposed Putin’s annexation of Crimea and his covert war in eastern Ukraine – a needless adventure and “Putin’s war” in Nemtsov’s view.
All of this made him an unpopular figure in the Kremlin. By 2015, he was one of the last opposition leaders in Russia still standing. Some – such as the former Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who spent 10 years in a Siberian jail – are in exile. Others, like Alexei Navalny, the anti-corruption blogger, are under house arrest. On Sunday, 1 March, Nemtsov was due to lead a major political opposition rally.
Instead, he was shot dead at 11.40pm Moscow time on Friday night. His murder took place in the heart of Moscow, within touching distance of the Kremlin and the fantastical bulbous domes of St Basil’s cathedral.
It is an area infested with police, who typically break up opposition manifestations within seconds. And yet Nemtsov’s killer was seemingly able to escape, having shot his target four times in the chest from a white car.
Born in Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast in 1959, Nemtsov studied physics at Gorky state university. He embarked on a political career in the late 1980s Soviet Union, standing as a reformist.
After an unsuccessful first attempt, he won a seat representing Gorky – later renamed Nizhny Novgorod – and became a staunch Boris Yeltsin loyalist. His reward came early: Yeltsin made him the governor of Nizhny Novgorod. In 1997, he became deputy prime minister. At one point, he looked like a future president.
But the next decade after Yeltsin exited the Kremlin belonged not to Nemtsov but to an obscure and charmless former KGB officer called Vladimir Putin. Nemtsov founded his own liberal party, the Union of Right Forces, which in the early stages of Putin’s presidency was electorally competitive.
Slowly but surely, however, Putin began to squeeze out opposing civic forces. The space in which Nemtsov operated got smaller.
By 2004, Nemtsov had more or less abandoned parliamentary or Duma politics. Instead he relaunched himself as a waspish critic of Putin’s and of the country’s sharp drift towards authoritarianism.
In 2008, together with Garry Kasparov, the chess champion turned Putin foe, Nemtsov launched Solidarity, a progressive, democratic political party. But its rallies in Moscow never attracted much of a crowd.
Nemtsov, who had been a ubiquitous figure in the 1990s, disappeared from state-controlled TV and found himself on the margins of public life.
He did not give up, though. He wrote a series of dissenting pamphlets, including Putin: a Reckoning, which accused the president personally of massive corruption. Similar polemics followed against Yuri Luzhkov, Moscow’s mayor, whom the Kremlin subsequently toppled.
In 2009, Nemtsov stood to become mayor in his native Sochi. In a fair fight he might have won. But it wasn’t a fair fight: officials accused him of fraud, while an activist from the Kremlin youth group Nashi threw ammonia in his face. The pro-Putin candidate won.
Nemtsov had spoken out against massive corruption in Sochi, as contractors built venues and palaces for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Despite accusations that he was himself corrupt, Nemtsov’s campaign was hardly lavish: he rattled up the city’s hills in a rusty yellow minivan.
Nemtsov said the Olympics – Putin’s showcase project – was of dubious benefit to local residents and should be spread among other Russian cities where there was more snow.
In 2011, Nemtsov tried to re-enter formal politics. He founded the Popular Freedom party, together with the former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov. The authorities refused to register it; Nemtsov was annoying some very powerful people.
Gennady Timchenko – a billionaire friend of Putin’s, sanctioned last year by the US – tried to ban Nemtsov from leaving the country. (At that point, he was in Strasbourg.) It was the application of Soviet methods to a post-communist problem. Nemtsov flew back to Russia anyway.
In the end, Nemtsov fell victim to old-fashioned mafia methods. His shooting is the first assassination of a major political figure in Moscow for a decade. It robs Russia of a brave, authentic and distinctive voice at a time when the country is locked in a dark spiral of war and propaganda.

the idea that the rothilds own this fine newspaper rag is clearly troll bullying at the least and anisemetic at the worstead.
Sob, minus one for that anyway. That was one hot pussy with him though, did the zio's buy him that? A lot of guys would consider selling out their country for a gal like that.
Funny, no mention of the hookers or crazy Uncle John McCain.
Ukraine makes me laugh. Everything is always about them and the millions of invisible Russian paratroopers and armored divisions invading their country. Once again they come up with some unproven claims about evidence.
What is really fkd up is almost everyone immediately thought the US did it as soon as Kerry opened his mouth. The Obama administration has zero credibility and a track record of foolish moves. They really are the number one assumed culprits.
Did Obama say "transparent"? Wonder which definition he's referring to.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness” is the latest commandment top officials continue breaking with their direct inference that Putin is responsible for Nemtsov’s murder. The American public, of course, has for years encouraged politicians to lie about and attack their opponents.
America has clearly lost the high ground for morality that it once had and it is now even government policy to break God’s commandments; supporting atheism in school, work and community as free speech on religious themes is outlawed.
“Thou shalt not kill” went by the boards long ago. And the American president is now authorized to murder anyone he chooses. Most of the other Ten Commandments are broken with U.S. official policy: “Not steal (ask the Fed who gets the billions in private property it steals from Americans everyday); “Don’t commit adultery (all legal ramifications removed),” “Do keep the Sabbath Holy (just another day for commerce and pleasures),” “Honor thy father and thy mother (the State assumes the responsibility of your parents),” “Don’t take God’s name in vain (‘Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It's just a goddamned piece of paper!’”
Check the newsstands, watch television, read a book, listen to the teacher…you have to admit the Ten Commandments officially are ruled out-of-date in America. The trouble is, so is morality. You have seen its decline in your community and in its place the rise of pornography, abortion, euthanasia, rape and murder, pedophilia, and of course, divorce and court-ordered destruction of the sanctity of marriage (with the sanctioning of homosexual marriages with the right of adoption of babies and children).
How dare, then, the American president, the secretary of state, and all the rest condemn Russia for her sins when America 2015 is the leading moral cesspool of the world?
The Stalinists may no longer control Russia, but their Bolshevik operatives are highly placed in American life and culture, fulfilling Stalin’s goal to corrupt America morally as one means of conquering her.
KGB boss Lavrenti Beria was thinking of Stalin’s goal when he addressed a visiting delegation of American Communists (Bolsheviks) : “Degradation and conquest are companions. By attacking the character and morals … by bringing about, through contamination of youth, a general degraded feeling, command of the populace is facilitated to a very marked degree. By perverting the institutions of a nation and bringing about a general degradation … a population can be brought psychologically to heel."
Knowing this and to preserve the power of its own nation, “Britian’s Daily Mail reports China banned TV and movie scenes of adultery or one-night stands. Depictions of rape, masturbation, prostitution, and necrophilia must also be cut. ‘The move has sparked fears that the regulations means audiences in China will have very few television dramas or films to watch.’ Next, China should outlaw abortion, sodomy, and contraception” –James G. Bruen, JR., Culture Wars.

When you know even members within the hierarchy of the tribe are fair game because the "shit" is flying in every direction and at the end of the day it's every shylock for himself!...
Would not doubt whatsoever that Nemtsov was probably sacrificed by the Soros/Kolomoisky/Rothschilds LLC to promote a World War!!!

[google translation RU-EN] :
On the bridge is still a lot of cars and passers-by. 23:30 - the two of them, presumably, Boris Nemtsov and his companion, walking towards Bolotnaya Square. Slowly catching up with their snowblower.
At 23:31 truck hides them from the camera. After a moment, another man rushes out into the roadway, quickly getting into his car and drives away. Snowblower stops a few meters away from the scene. There is only one silhouette - presumably companion Nemtsov.
Then she comes to drivers. And a few minutes is for snow machines. On the bridge is still walking pedestrians. Some people pass by as if nothing had happened, others interested, stop. One person examined, the place of death Nemtsov, runs up to the snow machines, which is about a girl.
Then returned to the body of the deceased. At 23:35 the first car stops here and a few seconds later leaves. The girl returned to the crime scene. Fit two more. At 23:37 flies past another car. Dramatically slows down and comes back. For a while, standing in front of the scene. Two people suddenly run away under the bridge.
Arrives at the third car, and then both cars leave. The girl left alone. Passes by another person. At 23:42 on the scene police arrived. From under the bridge there are two - presumably those that fled, - the question why?
Those snowploughs in Moscow again... on a bridge this time... last time, 4 months ago, it was a snowplough at the Vnukovo airport, when the boss of ”Total Oil” lost his life..

Well at least the slow going snow plow didnt hit him, guess the Mossad wanted to dispatch him quickly.
How long has the CIA hit order on Putin been outstanding?
The only corruption I see is the Nigger-In-the-White-House Obama! Kerry, is completely irrelevant. Biden is the Village idiot! McCain, Graham, Boener, McConnell, Etc... are about as Worthless as the Tits on a Tom Cat. Nuff said.
Politically motivated murder is a way of life in Russia. This wasn't the first killed by Putin, or the last.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia
List of foreign agents operating in Russia you mean? They were definitely not killed by Putin, but whoever killed them, deserves to be commemorated for such brave deed in service to his/her country!
Shall we discuss Michael Hastings? and there are many more
When are people going to learn? If you have evidence of criminality of a head of state you don't tell them that you have it. You send out the evidence to as many media outlets as you can so that the evidence will overwhelm TPTB that they can only react to the public outcry rather than be proactive and erase all evidence.
Hello Andrew Breitbart
Hey Sizzurp! We have one of those in Amerika too!

"When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die".
COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT
How about Obumfuck deal with corruption in his own miserable country before he starts pointing middle fingers
I hope Putin obliterates The 5th column traitors once and for all.
Putin has been like Gandhi to resist the urge those fockers Obama and Kerry
Droning isn't enough. Shooting down Asian planes isn't enough. Now casual assaination of manufactured martyrs
Even Bush wasn't that craven
Well the corruption in the US is legal – it is called lobbying, and bribes called donations or contributions…
Quite right. Because the average American is a DUMB ASS and those in charge are SATANIC. STARVE THE BEAST!
Putin is also behind the Lincoln assassination, the Lindberg baby kidnapping, the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa and he even knows what happened to Amelia Earhart ....Hey, Putin is a leader that particular part of the world needs and is lucky to have - it's that simple...
I am 100% Sure it was Pol Pot Shenko and Yat the Rat. Ukrainians are only any good when it comes to shooting unarmed people in the back
Anunnaki the Uk(r)annian, showing your self-loathing here?? Anagrams suggest you are a Ukie :)
If you can't say something nice about somebody, then you shouldn't say anything at all.
What the western media translate as provication, in Russian it also means "false Flag"

Western media: The most corrupt, complicit COWARDS on the face of the planet. Woe to those who deny the 'Truth' or support its antithesis! Your death will be prolonged and the pain and agony unbearable. Working in the MSM? Take heed TRAITORS!
*25k ZH Putin fan-boys claim the CIA did it
100k shitheads with one brain cell like Mattgalis think Putin did it.
take obama's dick out of your mouth, it's hard to understand you .gov pimp
May I proudly state that I am one if them. Now go have the zios fluff you up then go play with Obolas bottom.
nail guns need not apply
A "contract killing" a few hundred yards away from the Kremlin....
BY WHOM ??
The guy who says Putin lied when he said : "no Russian troops in Ukraine"...ends up dead right next to the Kremlin.
Who the hell can kill that guy without impunity so close to the seat of Putinistan?
If it had happened in front of the WH or 10 Downing street, how could the secret services of those countries PRETEND a murder of a political entity of that stature could OCCUR without their knowing shit all???
These are the same guys that control billions of email transactions all over the world and can send a drone to land on the tip of the eiffel tower or on a remote location in Afghanistan !
Putin is in that league along with CIA/NSA and UK's giant spook base...
CUI BONO...
Putins not stupid. If he needed the politically insignificant color revolutionary Russian traitor dead it would have been done more appropriately. I think the lying, cheating, murdering, theiving, scheming, blood sucking members of satans brood had more use for him dead than alive. Watch their little helpers, yourself included, jump all over this. And we all know Putin is in Ukraine doing what needs to be done in the way it needs to be done, get used to it.
Cui bono
u sound VERY rational...the type of guy who could ride a motor bike on that bridge...I get your message, but I can't "get used to it".
My only concern is to see the truth in all this fog of power plays which are race to bottom.
The truth is not what you refer to, you refer to political lies called "reasons of state"... and THAT is like a gulag cocktail.
correction above : with impunity not "without"; my bad!
Hope Abandoned: Something Rotten in Putin’s Russia Besides Nemtsov’s Corps

Hey Wizard of Intellect, falak pema; who dropped the Twin Towers? I just want to know your take...
If you like your Russian troops in Ukraine, you can have your Russian troops in Ukraine!

List of people who where once a problem for Putin regime and was dealt with KGB methods "NO MAN, NO PROBLEM":
Boris Nemtsov
Anna Politkovskaya
Alexander Litvinenko
Natalya Estemirova
Sergei Magnitsky
Boris BerezovskyDon't forget Roger Rabbit. Berezovsky was a thief, a liar , in all likelihood a killer and as corrupt a piece of shit as anyone gets and you class him with Politkovskaya and Magnitsky . You just defeated yuour own argument.
By saying this you admitted that they are not from same category. Thanks for that!
don't forget
oh wait a minute, these ones were snuffed by the US. You just wanted ones killed by Russia.
thems that cavort w/the company can expect to eventually get fucked.
re:NORIEGA
he is still living
yes.
if you call wearing an iron mask living
hey, i also forgot to mention Diem
Poor Diem he forgot that when the CIA puts you into power they expect a lot in return.
Yes. And the killings of traitors and CIA agents (because that's what they all were) will go on till those tempted to betray Russia get the message.
Do not insult Russia.
Do not slander Russia.
Do not betray Russia.
Do not plot the violent overthrow of the Russian nation.
Do NOT. FUCK. with RUSSIA.
Because you know what? When people fuck with Russia people get killed.
I don't give a flying fuck what your grandma claimed a Red Army soldier did to her (it never happened---anything she had a Russian could have gotten at home for free, and in any case we all know she'd have bent over for anything in a Nazi uniform). You hate Russians, fine. Just accept that they're done being the west's bitch and go pick on someone you can take in a fair fight.
Venezuela, maybe. They could actually use regime change.
Nemtsov was a marginal politician, associated with the discredited and corrupt Yeltsin dynasty, with around the same level of support as Alex Salmond has in Britain overall (less than 1%), having an affair with a Ukrainian girl young enough to be his daughter and ready to blame Russia for everything from the full moon to climate change, including opposing the integration of Crimea. Apparently he had many enemies and was perceived among Russians as being anti-Russian because he opposed anything and everything. Could have been CIA, Ukraine, Russian nationalists but unlikely Kremlin would have done it in this way.
?Marginal Politician"...MORE PUTIN PROPAGANDA AND LIES THAT ARE SPOUTED ON THIS SITE, WHICH IS USED AS A PLATFORM
http://www.buzzfeed.com/maxseddon/killing-hope-in-putins-russia#.bdKKrnvp1l
ok....yahoo is more your kind
go there
If anything, though, Nemtsov’s death marks yet another nail in the coffin of the Russia of the 1990s and the hopes it could emerge to become a free, democratic liberal, Western — just “normal” — country.
That's right Max. Your 1990s lapdog is dead and buried.
Crimea River
Plenty of websites like Zero Hedge have become "USEFUL IDIOTS" for the Kremlin's propaganda/information warfare campaign.
Yep, US and Europe are trying to 'do Russia' again, much like they did circa 1989-1991.
This is either a CIA murder staged in an attempt to 'blame Putin' in the hopes Russians will rise up against him and do a regime change, or else it is a Putin murder aimed at neutralizing a CIA operative who wanted to start Russian spring, and accomplish a regime change in Russia.
One thing you can be sure of - the CIA is working overtime to try to get a regime change in Russia by any means possible, regardless of consequences.
Shows their frustration with Putin. They haven't gotten one inch with him, in spite of all the woar they've been waging.
As for PoorOldSchwanko, Ukraine's president, saying the murdered guy had 'proof' of Russian involvement in Ukraine, that choco-fudge-packer would murder his own mother, then use her bones to pry open her cash box.
That chick from Ukraine, Anna Duritskaya... Nemtsov's companion on the bridge... ... she surely looks much better than Mata Hari..

To quote Alex Lifeson as he accepted his RRHOF induction....
blah blah blah, blah blah, blah BLAH blah blah
We'll never know who did it since neither us or Russia has an independent media that can or will do investigative journalism, and neither government if familiar with truth, so blah blah blah

So you're sayin he got Brietbarted......like is soon to happen to this guy
http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/02/former-breitbart-reporter-why-did-obam...
Boris Nemtsov planned to spread disinformation about Putin as a way of provoking a violent revolt against the duly elected government of the Russian Federation. He paid for his treachery with his life.
Breitbarted indeed. Nemtsov wasn't worthy to drink Breitbart's diarrhea.
Bath House, this statement could be turned back on you for the thousand droned at your behest
The United States condemns the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov, and we call upon the Russian government to conduct a prompt, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of his murder and ensure that those responsible for this vicious killing are brought to justice.
Looks like all the DoD posters are out in force today for this one. LOL, dumbasses - when we go to this manufactured war with Russia send YOUR fucking kids to fight it because mine ain't goin.
Mossad!
Please. The guy was a close friend of Kasparov, yeah the check player... both were political friends as well and have an opposition party... Thing is, Kasparov went to Bilderberg... Kasparov and Nemtsov objective (given by Bilderberg) is to take power and open up Russia to the elite so they can enslave it too... So Nemtsov was really a traitor to the Russian people... so no big loss. Between Putin and Nemtsov (and the elite)... Putin is better.
So... who killed him... either Putin... (the timing is awful but it would send a message... so less chances it's him) or western intelligence... realizing their puppet is ineffective and he's more useful dead ``killed by Putin`` than alive... The question now... is... will they go and wait like last time using another puppet... or will ``Russia maidan`` funded by the west begin... (which would bring us in really dangerous territory, Putin will not take this laying down...
Hey Boris, is that really you on the pavement??? Boris went from 6-pack abs to a tub 'a lard. Guess the Ukraine model loves a big beer belly.... http://www.tomatobubble.com/id789.html
Those mossad critters be getting sloppy.
my co-worker's mom makes $87 an hour on the laptop . She has been without work for 8 months but last month her pay check was $15653 just working on the laptop for a few hours. try this website... www.globe-report.com
what i think is going on is
1) Currently Iran/Syria are under control of Russia (they supply them arms ect)
forget what the media says, Israel has been happy with this agreement as it kept the balance of power stable in
the region ie US supports Saudis / Iraq ext ..so theres kind of a stalemate between Shia (backed by Russia)
Sunni (back by the US)
Obama is ant Israel, (yes its real) and hes trying to change the balance of power so that Iran/ Syria come under the US side..
This is bad for Russia and its bad for Israel...
Russia and Israel are moderate allies, they uderstand each other...
Obama is trying to allow the Arabs to unite and tip balance against Israel,
Russia and Israel are trying to keep the status quo
I am not sure whos right on wrong... thats whats happening..
With all the dash cams in Russsia shouldn't there be any video of Boris going down? I'll have to keep an eye on those 'I Love Russia' YouTube videos.
