Kremlin Rejects Rumor Of Putin Illness, Shows Footage Of Today's Meeting

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following reports that after unexpectedly rescheduling two preannounced high level meetings, the social networks erupted with a cornucopia of theories and "confirmed" reports that the Russian president is sick, had a stroke, or has outright died. To be sure this is not the first time the 62-year-old's health has been put into question, the last time being 2012 when rumors swirled again. However this time it got so bad even Bloomberg felt it was relevant to ask "Where is Vladimir Putin." This morning the Kremlin answered.

Earlier today, Russian state television broadcast footage which it said was of Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting Supreme Court chairman Vyacheslav Lebedev on Friday at Putin's residence near Moscow. The Kremlin released more detail on the meeting, along with photos taken today:

Meeting with President of the Supreme Court Vyacheslav Lebedev

 

Vladimir Putin met with President of the Supreme Court Vyacheslav Lebedev to discuss the court’s work since the merger of the Supreme Court and the Higher Arbitration Court.

And then just to make sure this latest iteration of "Putin is officially dead" fades into memory, the Kremlin also noted that "Vladimir Putin will meet with President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev in St Petersburg on March 16.

The main subject on the agenda will be continued steps to develop bilateral cooperation, particularly trade and investment ties, cultural and humanitarian contacts, and relations in the energy sector.  The two presidents will also have a detailed exchange of views on cooperation in connection with Kyrgyzstan’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union."

So with rumor of Putin's death greatly exaggerated, the trolls decided to promptly latch on to another, even more tabloidy rumor spread by, sure enough, the Swiss Blick.ch tabloid, according to which Putin's 32-year-old "girlfriend" Alina Kabaeva checked into the maternity ward at the Clinica Sant'Anna in Switzerland, where she is due to deliver Putin's child any minute.

Because the rumors must go on.

How many clones do you think each side has of their leaders.  Just asking?  Bet it's never occured to anyone, but is an entirely logical thing to do from a military perspective.  Better yet, Obama is the spitting image of Akenaten and Putin looks like he could be a clone of Ceaser.  But that's not what you were told how the world works in school was it?   Must not be possible...

British army creates team of Facebook warriors - The Guardian

 

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/31/british-army-facebook-warriors-77th-brigade Jan 31, 2015 - Soldiers familiar with social media sought for 77th Brigade

The British army is creating a special force of Facebook warriors, skilled in psychological operations and use of social media to engage in unconventional warfare in the information age.

The 77th Brigade, to be based in Hermitage, near Newbury, in Berkshire, will be about 1,500-strong and formed of units drawn from across the army. It will formally come into being in April.

The brigade will be responsible for what is described as non-lethal warfare. Both the Israeli and US army already engage heavily in psychological operations.

Also a new depth for surveillance freaks to plumb:

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/149623-mit-releases-open-source-softw...
Scientists at MIT have developed open-source software that can reveal details in videos that are otherwise invisible. This software— which works with videos on YouTube or DVD — can reveal the blood pumping beneath someone’s skin, with such detail
that you can accurately measure their heart rate. The software could also be released for mobile devices, such assmartphones or Google Glass, so that you can see the heartbeat of those around you in real time
— a boon for gamblers, FBI lie detection agents, and doctors alike. Beyond measuring blood flow, the software allows you to see the tiniest movements of eye muscles, the swaying of buildings in the wind, or fatigue in bolts and rivets that is invisible to the naked eye.

The underlying technology used by the software is called Eulerian Video Magnification (EVM), which essentially tracks the variation of individual pixels over time — and then exaggerates those differences. As your heart pumps blood around your body your arteries swell with bright red blood, which changes the color of your skin slightly. To the human eye, no matter how long and hard you stare at your wrist or someone else’s face, you would struggle to detect a change in color (unless they blush, of course). For a computer, however, the tiniest per-pixel fluctuations (between white and slightly-redder-white, say) are easy to detect. In the case of detecting someone’s heartbeat, EVM picks up these slightly redder pixels and exaggerates them, turning them violet. MIT originally developed the software to measure the vital signs of neonatal babies without physical contact, but as you can see in the video, there are other, far-ranging applications. Not only can EVM detect changes in color, but it can also exaggerate movements — such as a crane or building swaying in the wind, or the tiny movements made by your eyes as they scan an environment. The scientists at MIT say that their software might act as an early warning system, if the crane is swaying too much, or if a bolt is working its way loose from a machine.

golfer Obama, who has also plenty of soldiers and an unclear stance about peace in many other places

hohum. note to myself: it pays to make sexy photo shootings. it guarantees you a better treatment by cartoonists, lampoonists, etc. sex sells, in all trades and arts, and isn't this a fact

I don't mind your hypocritical ways, in a way I expect them from anybody in your (is lampooning the correct term?) business

Charlie Hebdo's guys are not different, they also hide behind "I must be free to do cartoons, regardless...". (A total lack of agency or regard for consequences, imho)

no, it was not there, it was an earlier article. look, it's simple: I criticize you for your "Heil Jucker" picture. I find you have no legs to stand on, and makes your whole geo-political stance highly hypocritical, considering the rest of your excellent work

since you have no arguments for that, that's it

It is much simpler than that. Though tired of your Euro hissyfits, I tried to engage you in the past.

It unnerves you that I am equally, actually more, critical of my own government as I am of it's European Bilderlackeys.

You are constantly offering your hypocritical ZH Americans hypothesis. Total bullshit IMHO.

Cutting to the chase, during one recent diatribe you proclaimed that you would forthwith steer clear of my posts.

I might have missed you trying to engage me in the past. if so, my fault

most of the pictures you do of the "European Bilderlackeys"... make me laugh and applaud them

I often probe for "Americanness" for one simple reason: many Eastern Europeans sound, in key things, similar, but hide more. My purpose is to try to understand

Did I promise to steer away? I thought I just stated an intent, but yes, I have returned to you... because of the Juncker in Hitler Salute with WWII German Helmet

now I will steer away from your comments again... until you bring something like that again. which I still find way off, beyond words

perhaps, just perhaps, this might help you to understand. I have little hope for the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, but I do have hope for you

I wish you peace, fortitude, creativity, prosperity and understanding, WB7. over and out

Still trying to decide whether a EU standing army is good for Europe (Specifically to remove NATO and Washington influence) or not. Too many players, too many nujobs, but still better than ZATO? Probably. I'm sick to death of Nuland trying to start a world war in my back yard.

As for Putin, I've gone through some essays written by his detractors lately, and other than the fact that he and Medvedev plays musical chairs and too much power with one man is not neccessarily a good thing, he is imo, exactly the right man at a crucial moment in history for the world as a whole to oppose the warmongers and zionist oligarchs of the West. What he becomes later is conjecture, but right now, I support him and his endeavours to protect his nation against blatant aggression.

Sex sells. Vulgarity is popular. That's the way of the world I'm afraid. I'd never describe WB7 as vulgar, because he does his art with his tongue firmly in his cheek to provoke humour and reflection - a very difficult and astute endeavour.

YHC-FTSE, so nice to see your avatar again. I recently wrote a lot of comments on Juncker's Phantom Army and it's Power of Flushing Out the Hypocrites, from here to here

basically, I'm still opposed

but here on ZH, I will from now on staunchly defend it

imagine we would be back in 2001-2003. Bush pressuring for war in Iraq, Blair finding all kinds of WMD evidence there

a vote in the EU Council, even before the EU Parliament about the deployment of the 200'000 strong EU Marine Corps (or EU Expeditionary Corps)

France and Germany put in their veto. the EU Commission claims the motion has no legs in the EU Parliament anyway

the US NeoCons try to put up a "Coalition of the Willing"... but Poland, Italy and all the others can't districate their interventionary troops out of the EU Corps... the treaty forbids it

what a terrible, terrible outcome this could have been, eh?

I'm quite sure that WB7 is very astute in his ways with pictures. I just claim he is very headstrong, while claiming to have a very open mind. Nothing to bad about that. Lots of hypocrisy is generated by similar circumstances

Perhaps it was his wife. In a fit of jealous rage in retaliation for him sleeping around (more often than Bill Clinton took flights to pedophile island, apparently) she hired a bunch of hitmen to get ahold of his bank accounts...

When the TRIBE STREAM MEDIA does not provide relevant information through censorship then is it any wonder that others will seek it elsewhere? That is why censorship efforts are always subject to failure.

 

They may stymie some but it is forbidden fruit which becomes the most desirable. When a Government forbids something then it actually acts to create the insatiable demand for that which it attempting to quash.

 

The problem which I have is that I cannot believe that they can be that damned stupid.

 

Perhaps it is the intent that they want us to seek it elsewhere so that we are informed?

It is a dirty job but someone has to do it.

 

Free yourselves. This is not hyperbole but this and which follows is the sordid and ugly truth.

 

Your Government is not concerned about YOUR death or YOUR loss. They never have been. They are interested in having power over you. Your death or loss is perfectly acceptable to them. What do you think that the Military Term, "acceptable loss" actually means?  Somebody else's?

 

As for their own death and loss? That is not acceptable to them so they will gladly sacrifice YOU in order that they may live another day.

 

You all need to wake up and understand this. There is no morality in those who occupy the highest seats of power.

 

If you want to live then they must be removed from power. Your life depends upon that as they become more desperate with each and every passing hour.

 

It does not matter what Government which I am writing about. All governments behave in this manner. Yours is not special, no matter how much you attempt to convince yourself otherwise.

 

The question remains "Do you want to live?" If you do YOU MUST TAKE ACTION. No Government will take any action in your best interest. NONE. Not Russia's. Not the United States...NONE OF THEM.

 

YOU MUST TAKE ACTION. It is a dirty job but someone's got to do it. We are at the precipice of Thermonuclear War...limited...but deadly. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION if you want to live. Time is running short and it may already be far too late. But there may still be time.

 

Do you love your children? Do you love your grandchildren? That is not, "Doing it for the children..." but it is doing it for YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD.

You are underestimating the criminality and corruption of the CIA.

If you do not know by now that the CIA was involved in the Kennedy assassination then you are living on the dark side of the moon. Kennedy had promised to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.  Instead his brains were blown out into a thousand pieces by CIA assassins.

As for 9/11, you may want listen to what CIA agent Susan Lindauer has to say - everyone knew that event was coming.  Her boss at the CIA got $13 million tax free after 9/11.

And if you don't know the real story of JFK's involment with the Bay of Pigs fiasco, you're living on planet Mars. It's even on Wikipedia, for Heaven's sake! JFK authorized every bloody step of the Bay of Pigs "operation". There are about 3 million books on the subject, all of them based on declassified files, in plain simple English and available at any next-door book retailer, including Amazon if you want to order from home.

http://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Research-Aids/Ready-Reference/~/media...

But alas you haven't read these. They were a result of the committee that JFK put together Maxwell Taylor, Robert Kennedy, and Allan Dulles to review the Cuba fiasco. You recall the CIA contacted with the Mafia to kill Castro in Operation Mongoose. George McBundy failed to confirm all of Castro air support was eliminated before starting the invasion . Cabal was fired for the same failure to confirm all Castro planes were disabled prior to send in ground. The copy of George McBundy orders change is available online to.

I have read this three times over and done the research for my own education.

My twisted take on the elites, is that putins (pregnant gf) kid may not even be his, (although putin IS royal from some branch.) those elites are all about bloodlines. guess who is the dad of william ? no, not charles(who is childless), but his father ! yup, phillip IS the king of england, and the queen, well she isnt even related to william !
