The Mystery of the 14 Dead Russian Officials: November 2015-August 2017

By Moti Nissani on August 30, 2017

Curious patterns present perplexing questions

In the past 22 months, at least 14 Russian functionaries were murdered or unexpectedly died:

1. November 5, 2015: Mikhail Lesin, 57, a senior adviser to Putin and founder of the popular counter-propaganda media company RT, was killed in Washington, DC, according to one source, by a blunt weapon (his death was originally blamed on a heart attack).  “After a year-long investigation, Washington’s chief medical examiner and federal authorities released a joint statement saying he died of blunt-force trauma to his head sustained in his hotel room, induced by falls amid acute ethanol intoxication.”  So, it took them one year to decide that this death was nothing more than a drunken Russian accidentally killing himself!
2. May 2016: Andrei Vorobiev, 56, Russian charge d’affaires in Ukraine, died, allegedly from a stroke.
3. September 2016: While driving alone in the president’s official car, Vladimir Putin’s favorite chauffeur was killed in a head-on collision with a vehicle that crossed over from the opposite side of the road. “Known as MK, the chauffeur had been employed as an official government driver for more than 40 years.” According to one source, “such an audacious attempt on the life of President Putin could ‘only be coordinated by an inside group of foreign secret service agents.’”
4. November 8, 2016: Sergei Krivov, 63, head of security affairs of the Russian Consulate in New York, was found dead “with multiple face and head trauma,” according to the initial NY Police Department report.  Later, a spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office called it a “natural death.”
5. December 19, 2016: Andrei Karlov, Russia’s Ambassador to Turkey,  62, was assassinated by a Turkish police officer while delivering a speech at a photo exhibit in Ankara.  Putin felt that this murder was “clearly a provocation aimed at undermining the improvement and normalization of Russian-Turkish relations, as well as undermining the peace process in Syria.”  The Turkish president concurred: “Both Turkey and Russia have the will not to be deceived by this false flag attack.”  Ankara’s Mayor linked US-based preacher and CIA front man, Fethullah Gulen “to the cold-blooded murder of Andrei Karlov, who was shot five times in the back at an art gallery.”  A Russian Senator and a Putin ally said it could be ISIS, Kurdish Army, or, most likely, the secret services of a NATO country.  A day later, a Deep State tabloid suggested another reason: This murder could precipitate a Russian attack on Turkey, which in turn could lead to World War III.
6. December 19, 2016:  Peter Polshikov, 56, a Putin aide, a member of the Ministry of Defense, and a Latin Americaspecialist, was shot dead in his Moscow apartment. The gun was found under the bathroom sink but the circumstances of the death continued to be under investigation.  According to another source, Polshikov was shot dead in his apartment in what appears to be a murder staged to look as a suicide.
7. December 26, 2016: Oleg Erovinkin, age 60 or 61, ex-KGB chief, was found dead in Moscow in the back of his car. Erovinkin also was an aide to former deputy prime minister Igor Sechin, who now heads state-owned petrol conglomerate Rosneft.
8. December 27, 2016: Skrylnikov, a Russian diplomat, was found dead in Kazakhstan.  His sudden death was attributed to a heart attack.
9. January 9, 2017: Andrei Malanin, 55, Russia’s Consul to Greece, was found dead in his Athens apartment. Malanin served during a time of improving relations between Greece and Russia, following the Deep State’s deliberate impoverishment of the Greek people.  A Greek police official said there was “no evidence of a break-in.” The cause of death needed further investigation, according to the AFP news agency.
10. January 14, 2017, Vladimir Dedushkin, Russian Ambassador to Yemen , died in the capital Sanaa.  The initial report claiming that he was shot was subsequently retracted.
11. January 27, 2017: Alexander Kadakin, 67, Russia’s Ambassador to India, died in New Delhi after a brief illness.
12. February 20, 2017: Vitaly Churkin. 64, Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations, died in New York City. Churkin was rushed to the hospital from his office. “He had a history of heart problems and also suffered from leukaemia.”  “Chief editor of Echo Moscow radio station Alexei Venediktov said that Vitaly Churkin had diplomatic immunity, which means that his autopsy contradicted the norms of diplomacy. Venediktov, with reference to American press, also said that there was a medical report that said that Churkin had been poisoned by the food that he took at midnight.”
13. March 20, 2017: Vladimir Evdokimov, 52, top official of Russia’s space agency, was found dead in his Moscow prison cell (where he was being questioned on charges of embezzlement). Investigators found two stab wounds on Evdokimov’s body, but no determination had been made of whether they were self-inflicted.  (Note: I shall set aside this case, because it involves a suspected criminal sitting in a “pre-trial detention center,” accused of taking part in a $3 million fraud scheme.  “He is by no means the only space industry official to have been locked up for fraud, and in fact, over the past several years, the Russian space program as a whole has been hit by scandal after scandal: Rockets have been doomed by shoddy work and efforts to build a new launch site in the Far East have been plagued by corruption.”  Until now, however “no one caught up in the industry’s rampant corruption problem has died.”  The most likely explanation in this case is contract killing—a punishment for cooperating with investigators.  “Evdokimov’s foes feared he could tell their names to the investigation and uncover their criminal schemes.”)
14. August 23, 2017. Mirgayas M. Shirinsky, 62, Russian Ambassador to Sudan, drowned while swimming in the pool of his official residence in Khartoum.  The drowning, allegedly, was caused by a “serious heart seizure.”  Shirinsky suffered from high blood pressure.  Sudanese police have ruled out the possibility of an assassination attempt.
15. August 25, 2017: Mukhmad Askhabov, 61, a Communist Party member of Chechnya’s parliament, was gunned down by unidentified attackers.

Moti Nissani -- Who Rules the Anglosphere?

Who Rules the Anglosphere?

By Moti Nissani on August 5, 2016

America’s real rulers have access to immense fortunes, operate behind the scenes, and enjoy near-absolute power

“[The Controllers of the Invisible Government] would continue to grow in strength, until they had the whole silly world, the whole credulous world, the whole ingenuous world, in their hands. Anyone who would challenge them, attempt to expose them, show them unconcealed and naked, would be murdered, laughed at, called mad, ignored, or denounced as a fantasy-weaver.” — Taylor Caldwell, Captains and the Kings, 1972

The Controllers

This article argues that the five major countries of the Anglosphere — Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US — are governed behind the scenes by a coterie. This coterie shapes historical events, accounts for the near-uniformity of these five countries’ political developments, and enjoys partial or full control of most nations of the world. As far as we can guess, this coterie is comprised of a few banking families and their allies and subordinates in the information, corporate, military, intelligence, secret society, and “religious” worlds.

This coterie and its members go by such names as the deep state, One Bank, bankers, oligarchs, Directors, Men in the Shadows, Owners, or Princes of Power. In this series, I shall refer to the entity itself as the Invisible Government and, following Aldous Huxley, to its head honchos as the Controllers.

What is it that the Controllers are after? Why aren’t they content with what they already have? The best guess is that they are just as sick as the fictional Eddorians:

While not essentially bloodthirsty—that is, not loving bloodshed for its own sweet sake—they were no more averse to blood-letting than they were in favor of it. Any amount of killing which would or which might advance an Eddorian toward his goal was commendable; useless slaughter was frowned upon, not because it was slaughter, but because it was useless—and hence inefficient. And, instead of the multiplicity of goals sought by the various entities of any race of Civilization, each and every Eddorian had only one. The same one: power. Power! P-O-W-E-R!! (Doc Smith, Triplanetary, 1948)

China Rising: Capitalist Roads, Socialist Destinations (A Book Review)

China has a lot more going for it—and the USA a lot less—than what the Western presstitutes would have you believe.

For a long time, I have been trying to satisfy my curiosity about China.  I read as much as I could—in English and Spanish.  I attended a scientific conference in Beijing, and although my Chinese colleagues were happy enough to talk about science, they were disinclined to talk about politics.  I read Chinese literature in translation and worked in a small town in central China for a few months.  I learned, for instance, that some ordinary Chinese are capable of remarkable acts of disinterested kindness.  My lungs suffered the consequences of Chinese pollution.  However, I never got close enough to a proper understanding of China—let alone to be able to write about that country or its future contributions to the world.

Jeff Brown’s book, China Rising: Capitalist Roads, Socialist Destinations, helped me close that gap.

Who Killed Jo Cox?

By Moti Nissani on June 19, 2016

By Moti Nissani: History shows that the Invisible Government routinely advances its agenda through assassinations.  The recent tragic murder of British Member of Parliament Jo Cox advances that Government’s agenda.  Hence, that Government is the prime suspect in Jo Cox’s murder.

The late British MP Jo Cox, 1974-2016

The Assassination of Jo Cox

Tommy Mair, the alleged assassin of Jo Cox

On June 16, 2016 Jo Cox, a Member of the British Parliament (MP) from a working class background, was brutally shot and stabbed to death.  She was 41 at the time of her tragic death, married, and a mother of two preschoolers.  Her alleged assassin, 52-year-old Tommy Mair, is in police custody.  According to the official records, apart from 6 MP assassinations related to Ireland’s freedom struggle, the only other MP assassination in British history occurred in 1812.

On June 23, 2016 a controversial referendum is scheduled to take place in the UK, when voters will be asked whether Britain should remain in the European Union or leave (“Brexit”=British Exit).  Like the majority of elected British and American politicians, Cox strongly and vocally opposed Brexit.  Some initial reports allege that her murderer shouted “Britain First” while carrying the attack.  The mass media interpret this alleged war cry as having provided the chief motive for the attack.
