C.I.A. believes Putin didn’t order Navalny’s death

The CIA and other US intelligence agencies have determined that the Russian authorities weren’t involved in the death of opposition figure Alexey Navalny, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Navalny, who had been serving a lengthy prison sentence stemming from his violations of the terms of a previous fraud conviction and his “extremist activities,” died at a penal colony in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region in northern Russia on February 16.

The Russian prison authorities insist that there was no foul play in the passing of the anti-cor…  Read more

Two months ago, Western Client Media went into meltdown suggesting Vladimir Putin had "Murdered" Alexey Navalny.

Now, they openly accept that they were lying.

You can't trust them.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington agreed…1wk1W

This is what "extremists" like Ron Paul and Tucker Carlson have been warning us all along. Sure hate to say I told you so...

 @VibrantHouseForwardfrom Kansas agreed…2wks2W

Indeed, many of us said that the death of Alexey Navalny was more harmful than useful for Putin and I really don't believe that he would have given such an order, our media immediately turned against him, exploiting Navalny's death for their propaganda,

 @R3gulationSkylarRepublican from Massachusetts commented…2wks2W

are these the same spies that said that Hunter Biden's Laptop was Russian disinformation?

 @C0nsensu5AbigailDemocratfrom Illinois commented…2wks2W

Not sure about that, but the US intelligence community correctly predicted that Russia would invade Ukraine, despite the war criminal Putin’s assurances that he wouldn’t invade.

 @CentristGregLibertarianfrom Maine commented…2wks2W

The Ukrainian intelligence head Kyrylo Budanov told the world soon after Nevalny’s death, it was from natural causes. However this information was omitted for this article. Seems US press freedom is on a tight leash.

 @SelfishJurisdictionfrom Wisconsin disagreed…2wks2W

Even though Budanov says wrong things too.. like Putin had cancer a couple of years ago

I think in any case though that Putin would have had no good reason to kill him

and would have been foolish to order his death

And yes.. the WSJ covers a lot of stuff up not that hard with all of its resources to search around and yes... even info comes from the Ukrainian media itself

 @P0litic4lAlfieAmerican Solidarity from Florida commented…2wks2W

A small reminder of who Alexei Navalny truly was, before Western media portray him as a saintly martyr for democratic/liberal values.

In reality, Navalny was a minor Russian neo-Nazi who in the early 2000s filmed low-budget racist video clips equating Muslims to cockroaches that needed to be eradicated with legal firearms.

Somewhere between filming extremist videos and participating in nationalist marches (back when they were still legal in Russia), he caught the attention of the CIA and MI6 for his destructive potential in Russia.

U.S. Accuses Israel Of Blocking Aid To Gaza

Israel is in violation of a White House directive requiring recipients of American military assistance to comply with international humanitarian law and permit the unimpeded delivery of U.S.-funded humanitarian support, USAID officials concluded in a confidential United States paper reviewed by Devex.

In a submission to Blinken, USAID “assesses the government of Israel (GOI) does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance” with the memo’s requirement that it facilitate and not impede “the transport of delivery of United States humanitarian assistance” as well…  Read more

 @EnragedTariffGreenfrom Florida commented…2wks2W

US government officials privately conclude in leaked paper that Israel is violating American law by blocking aid in Gaza

 @SwiftZachSocialist from Washington agreed…2wks2W

None of this is surprising and all I can say is in the Gaza-Israel War the Hawks are getting exactly what they wanted in this war.

And:

1) Average Gaza are suffering

2) Long term both sides will lose in some form.

 @DreadfulBl4ckBallotRepublicanfrom Pennsylvania disagreed…2wks2W

Nonsensical. UNOCHA figures show triple the food entering Gaza now compared to same month totals from 2023. Israel is clearing food aid faster than NGOs can even distribute it.

 @G3rrym4nderDomWomen’s Equality from Alabama commented…2wks2W

Cannot wait for Biden and his team to downplay, ignore or overlook this latest Israeli middle finger to US law.

 @Equ4lRightsRabbitPeace and Freedomfrom Alaska commented…2wks2W

The fact that USAID, that the US is going to try and use to replace UNRWA, is going against the US here...mind-boggling.

There truly is no defense.

George Soros funds nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

The New York Post Reports that George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.

The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.

Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some…  Read more

This whole issue has really shown me whose media diet is nothing but NY Post/Daily Wire clips day in, day out and who really think they're middle of the road types.

 @E1ectionMiaSocialist from Wyoming agreed…2wks2W

Looking at at least one new dead baby every day for 6 months straight should be enough to make one forget about left/right but crazily enough that doesnt seem to be the case.

 @DingoRalphLibertarianfrom Maine agreed…2wks2W

My big issue with online right is that they are more interested in culture wars rather than actual wars and why we need to (not) support them.

 @KeenXerusRepublicanfrom North Carolina commented…2wks2W

Soros is doing this but so are the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller, MacArthur, and many other groups, and it has nothing to do with Soros being Jewish.

I prefer “Progressive Billionaire NGOs”. Now Zaid, you may like their funding of left activism or not, but they do fund it.

 @DemocratGeorgeForward from California commented…2wks2W

It’s funny he’s not really progressive he’s really doing it to try and control the market. He writes about it in the alchemy of finance. It’s a theory of reflexivity. Fascinating stuff he thinks he’s a god.

 @KeenXerusRepublicanfrom North Carolina commented…2wks2W

I could see the appeal for a certain type of megalomania just to know that you’re concretely warping the state of the World.

 @DemocratGeorgeForward from California commented…2wks2W

Yes James Lindsay discusses it on his podcast, he is a megalomaniac and believe he’s pushing the world into a more “open” structure. This starts with the dismantling of America

 @TreasuryLynxGreen from California commented…2wks2W

It is absolutely hilarious that they have now come to the conclusion that Jews are behind the campaign against Israel

 @FluentEqu4l1tyRepublican from Minnesota disagreed…2wks2W

Yes, some jews hate Israel. Just like half of whites in the U.S. hates whites. Not sure why it's hard to believe.

UN Clears and Suspends Investigations into UNRWA Staff Accused of Hamas Ties

In a significant development that has drawn international attention, the United Nations has made strides in addressing allegations against staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The allegations, put forth by Israel, accused several UNRWA workers of being complicit in the Hamas attacks that occurred on October 7. The UN's internal investigations have led to the exoneration of one staff member, with inquiries into three others being suspended due to a lack of evidence. This move has sparked a wide range of reactions, hig…  Read more

How would you feel if a teacher was accused of something serious without much proof, and how does that compare to the UNRWA staff situation?

 @9LWL6TJ from New Jersey answered…1wk1W

I believe that until proof comes up, any accusation is completely stupid.

 @9LW57H7Green from Ohio answered…1wk1W

Without proof, a teacher should not be implicated or held accountable (innocent until proven guilty). Furthermore, if the claims are proven false, the accuser should be held accountable.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

If someone from your community was suspended from their job due to accusations with no evidence, how would you react?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Does knowing that UN workers can be accused of political ties change your view on international aid?

 @HumanR1ghtsCarolineMarxism from California commented…2wks2W

Clearing UNRWA staff of baseless accusations highlights the ongoing struggle against imperialist tactics to undermine humanitarian efforts supporting Palestinian rights.

GOP Seeks to Distance Protesters from Milwaukee Convention Venue

In a move that has sparked debate over the balance between security and free speech, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is seeking to have protesters kept at a greater distance from their upcoming convention venue in Milwaukee. The request, directed to the Secret Service, aims to move demonstrators further away than currently planned, citing concerns over potential confrontations. This has led to a broader discussion on the rights of protesters and the measures taken to ensure the safety of such large-scale political events.

The GOP's request comes as cities hosting major political…  Read more

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

Do you believe safety concerns justify limiting where and how people can protest, or is this an infringement on free speech?

 @9LW57H7Green from Ohio answered…1wk1W

Areas of protest should only be limited when it comes to schools. Schools are important for education, not starting riots.

Blinken's Strategic Mission to Saudi Arabia Aims to Broker Gaza Ceasefire

In a pivotal move aimed at quelling the escalating tensions in the Middle East, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to travel to Saudi Arabia next week. This high-stakes visit underscores the Biden administration's commitment to fostering peace and stability in the region, particularly against the backdrop of the stalled negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Blinken's agenda is heavily focused on brokering a ceasefire in Gaza, a task that has eluded international diplomats amid rising violence and humanitarian concerns.

During his two-day visit, Blinken will engage with…  Read more

No. Not as long as the U.S. gives Israel billions of dollars to buy arms and ammunition from our military industrial complex. Conflict of interest.
