NY Post:
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and several Ukrainian officials were apparently poisoned while negotiating an end to Moscow’s invasion at a meeting where they were only served water and chocolate, according to reports Monday.
Abramovich, who accepted a Ukrainian request to help deescalate the warfare, and at least two senior members involved in negotiations suffered from peeling skin on their faces and hands, constant and painful tearing, and red eyes following a meeting in Kyiv earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The billionaire owner of the British soccer club Chelsea FC‘s eyesight also “completely disappeared” for several hours, while a member of the Ukrainian delegation, the parliamentarian Rustem Umerov, became partially blind, two sources told the Financial Times.
We are supposed to believe from this that Vladimir Putin poisoned Abramovich and did it so incompetently that not only did Abramovich and the other Ukrainian negotiators survive, but they figured out they were poisoned and they know from where the poison came, because there were only two items at the meal.
Does anyone think that a colonel of the KGB, who came up from a humble background in the dangerous, tough world of post-Soviet Russian politics to become one of the most powerful men in the world is that stupid?
Besides, what is not mentioned in the piece is telling. We are told that Zelensky invited Abramovich to participate in the negotiations, which reports as early as the end of February confirm, but we are not told that Putin is also close to Abramovich. He certainly approved of his mediation.
And Putin would seem to have everything to gain from Abramovich’s help and nothing to gain from poisoning him. Indeed, he has everything to lose by a false step, which accounts for his restraint in the face of ever-more deranged denunciations emanating from the US President.
Putin has already accomplished most of his goals, from liberating the Donbas and taking Mariupol from Azov, to destroying most of Ukraine’s military infrastructure, turning water on for the Crimea, and securing evidence of war-plans and biological weapons manufacture that vindicate his decision to go in.
For an operation lasting more than a month, there are relatively few civilian casualties, and most of them are a direct result of the Ukrainian military/government/Nazi battalions giving weapons to civilians, firing on them, placing them intentionally in harm’s ways, refusing to allow them to use the humanitarian corridors, and using them as hostages/military cover. Russia has lost more soldiers than they need have in trying to minimize the damage to the Ukrainians. Had they gone in with full force, there would have been a far greater number of casualties.
Widening the war at this point would endanger all Putin’s gains and would be reckless. So far all the signs point to Putin being a prudent, competent leader.
Not so Zelensky, who foolishly gambled on NATO troops on the ground in a reckless, double-talking game that he has lost.
Zelensky must know it too because he has already started talking about accepting neutrality for Ukraine and has given up on NATO membership.
That means two of the most important strategic goals of Putin are in the process of being wrapped up. Why would he jeopardize things at this stage?
An outright war with NATO would have no winners except the global elites. With Russians suffering enormously from the sanctions, as well as Russian partners like China and India, poisoning negotiators risks alienating allies and widening the war.
On the other hand, the wider the war, the better for Zelensky, who has every reason to manufacture a provocation to get what he now sees slipping from him, NATO admission and NATO intervention.
So Zelenksy does have a motive to create a false-flag.
And his behavior so far supports this theory. Zelensky has been warning almost daily of possible chemical strikes by Russia. He recently repeated claims that strikes on chemical factories and the use of phosphorus bombs by Russia constitute a use of chemical weapons that warrants NATO intervention. But in truth neither constitutes chemical weapons usage. Phosphorus bombs are not even categorized as chemical weapons. They’re widely used by militaries all over the world, although they should never be used against civilians because of the hideous injuries they inflict. They were used indiscriminately by the US in Fallujah in Iraq, which did constitute a war crime, but Fallujah was a horror show that is very, very far from what is happening in Ukraine now, despite what the mainstream media psyops tells you.
Still, Zelensky keeps claiming such attacks, which means he thinks that a provocation has its uses.
And if he cannot find one, he has every reason to manufacture one. A poisoning is after all a “chemical attack.” If the poison used is a radioactive substance, then that is a “nuclear attack.” And haven’t we been warned by Zelensky that the Russians will commit chemical and nuclear attacks? Voila, here we have it.
Is there anything else that supports this argument? Yes.
Just recently it was Zelenksy who lobbied the West to exclude Abramovich from the economic sanctions that have hit Russians, ostensibly because he was helping the negotiations.
UK and EU officials are skeptical about the claim, which is from unnamed sources in the US government, but reports are that Biden and Zelensky have been on the phone. Remember Maidan and Biden’s instructions to the Ukraine government to get rid of the prosecutor before he investigated Hunter Biden and Burisma’s corruption?
Today we know Hunter Biden’s company Rosemont Seneca was directly funding US biolabs in Ukraine in violation of international conventions. We know there is evidence supporting ethnic cleansing/genocide directed against Russian-speaking Slavs that goes back directly to the Pentagon, to Metabiota, to Hunter Biden, among many others. All these are international crimes. Does Joe Biden’s increasingly hysterical pronouncements have anything to do with revelations about the Biden crime family’s dealing in the Ukraine? Does he stand to gain from a widening of the war which could distract and cover up his crimes? Did he and Zelensky work out a quid pro quo that might provoke such a widening?
Abramovich got his exemption. It must have been in return for something.
I suggest that it was for Abramovich agreeing to go along with this false-flag.
There is some further circumstantial evidence.
The alleged poisoning follows on J. K. Rowling’s recent high-profile attack on Putin, who had just defended her in a speech denouncing cancel culture in the West.
In her rejoinder to Putin, Rowling explicitly referred to Putin “poisoning” his opponents, charges that have been circulating in the West for a long time but have never been proved. [see below, for details.]
A further point is that Rowling’s allegations of poisoning were made in a speech blaming Putin alone for civilian deaths in the Ukraine, indicating that she is fully behind the mainstream narrative on the war.
Given the extraordinary media coverage given to this children’s writer and the manner in which that has been spun off into manufacturing her as a voice for establishment liberal positions in the culture war, isn’t there a good chance that Rowling herself is an intelligence plant or at least coopted to play her part in intelligence operations?
Consider this: In 2016 the Russian orthodox church along with the Russian Ministry of Culture and the Military cast Harry Potter and NATO as the Satanically -inspired foreign powers threatening Russia in a cartoon called Kids Against the Sorcerers. They are defeated by Russian military school cadets in a story that according to the narrator “takes place in the present, past and future”.
Not only is the story about “belief in God” against the occult, but also against the Western pursuit of wealth, propagated by an unnamed “enemy” army “seeking a rematch for its defeat during WWII” and about uniting “different people such as the Greeks and the Serbs by common faith and tradition.”
Apparently, Mr. Putin was trolling J. K. Rowling. She fell into the role cast for her in the film perfectly.
Addendum:.
The most notorious poisoning case was that involving Putin critic and ex-KGB spy turned British agent, Alexander Litvinenko, who died in the UK from radioactive polonium-210 poisoning.
A British court found two Russians, one a member of the Russian parliament, guilty, but the court used conjectural language in suggesting the crime had the Russian state and Putin directly behind it.
The two Russians, both of whom apparently didn’t know the nature of the poison they were carrying, said Litvinenko did it to himself.
The poisoning was rather suspicious, to my mind.
In the first place, a state like Russia has ample resources to come up with an untraceable poison. If that were not possible, the Russians would have staged the poisoning so as to make it look like an illness or an accident, so that investigation would be delayed until the poison was no longer detectable. And even if they could not disguise the poisoning, the Russians would have disguised the source, perhaps by making sure the poisoning took place at a public event where there was so much food from so many sources and so many people became ill that no one could be sure where or when the poison had been administered, let alone by whom.
If Putin were the ruthless gangster the West says he is, it would have been nothing to kill innocent people to disguise an assassination. It’s done all the time in the West. Or if he wished to send a message, he could at least have disguised the proximate cause of the assassination.
The Litvinenko case instead has all the hallmarks of being cooked-up to attack Putin. Radioactive plutonium may have been a bad choice for a Russian poisoning, as it would point back to Russia instantly. But it was the perfect choice for a false-flag poisoning to blame the Russian government. Litvinenko’s handlers in the West or elsewhere could have set him up to get rid of him and at the same time blame Putin.
