The reveling by the British news media over the assassination of a top Russian general in Moscow is revealing in several ways.
First of all, it is a sickening display of wretched so-called journalism. The celebratory tone in British media outlets at the sight of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov’s bloodied corpse lying in the snow speaks volumes of a despicable lack of respect. It says something about the depraved depth of British culture.
By comparison, the reporting of the assassination by American media outlets was relatively mundane and matter-of-fact.
Not so in Britain. The British media were almost euphoric in their reaction.
The Pentagon’s response was significant. Spokesman Patrick Ryder denied any U.S. involvement in the killing. He said the Americans were not forewarned about the assassination and he added that the United States did not support such action.
Of course, such denials should always be treated with skepticism.
However, while the Americans had the decency to remain reserved, the British were giddy in their ghoulishness.
The London Times editorial board declared that Lt Gen. Kirillov was a “legitimate target” for assassination.
The Daily Telegraph ran an oped piece by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon with the headline: “Putin’s chemical weapons henchman Kirillov was a truly evil man. He deserved to die.”
Meanwhile, the BBC blithely used the Foreign Office’s description of Kirillov as a “notorious mouthpiece for Kremlin disinformation” to convey an implicit justification for murder.
Over at the Guardian, their Russophobic reporter, Luke Harding, abandoned all pretense of journalistic standards by glorifying Ukraine’s military intelligence service (SBU) for its “success,” adding: “The agency has cemented its reputation as an outfit that administers its own form of brutal extrajudicial justice. It is an abrupt and swift form of vengeance, delivered as if from the heavens.”
The Ukrainian secret services were no doubt involved. The SBU is claiming responsibility and distributing a video to Western outlets of the bombing outside the Moscow apartment block, which killed Kirillov and his assistant as they walked out of the building on Tuesday morning.
Russian security services (FSB) have reportedly arrested a 29-year-old Uzbek national who says Ukrainian agents recruited him to plant the explosive-laden scooter at the street-side doorway of Kirillov’s apartment block. The suspect says he was promised payment of $100,000 and a European passport.
That all points to the higher involvement of NATO military intelligence services in the assassination. The American CIA and Britain’s MI6 are the two principal players behind Ukraine’s military intelligence.
But the circumstances indicate that the British are the primary culprits.
In October, Britain put sanctions on Kirillov after London accused him of overseeing the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, a charge that Moscow vehemently denied. The British provided no credible evidence – only hackneyed claims – and, besides, the allegation does not make sense, given that Russia is decisively winning the conflict. Why would it need to resort to using chemical weapons?
Lt Gen. Kirillov was chief of the Russian army’s Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces. His investigators had uncovered what they claimed to be a secret and illegal network of Pentagon-run biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. The investigations provided substantive evidence that the bioweapons labs were authorized at U.S. presidential level and involved major American pharmaceutical companies. Typically, the West rubbished the claims as “Kremlin disinformation” without considering the information.
In other words, Kirillov’s work was mainly focused on interdicting NATO-run weapons of mass destruction, not on overseeing their use, as the British claimed.
Kirillov was the most senior Russian military commander to have been killed since the conflict in Ukraine erupted three years ago.
The British objective was to demonize Kirillov as a “chemical weapons henchman” and “an evil man.” That move was then followed by the Ukrainian secret services accusing the Russian general of being a “war criminal”. This week, on the day before his assassination, the Ukrainian published a death notice.
One could argue that the Americans had more motive to eliminate Kirillov than the British, given his potentially incriminating investigations into the bioweapons and the way it implicated President Biden.
But, arguably, that was not the motive behind his assassination. He was merely a high-profile target for a psychological operation.
Ukrainian opposition political figure Viktor Medvedchuk makes the important observation that Britain has taken over from the United States as the main intelligence player behind the Kiev regime. He says that the British are using the Ukrainian puppet president Vladimir Zelensky and his cronies to launder much of the U.S. and European money sent to Ukraine to end up in London’s banks.
With the incoming U.S. President Donald Trump expressing concern about winding down the Ukraine conflict and cutting off the financing of the Kiev junta, Britain wants to sabotage any such initiative. It wants to prolong the conflict and the money racket.
Assassinating a senior Russian commander in Moscow is aimed at humiliating the Kremlin and provoking an escalation of the conflict in a way that scuppers any possible peace negotiations with Trump, who takes up office in four weeks.
The British media’s gloating about the murder of Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov reveals Britain’s nefarious hand.
Not only was the victim vilified and condemned, the killing was glorified. The BBC, in particular, showed a keen interest in reporting on the “deep shock” felt by Muscovites in the immediate aftermath of the deadly explosion.
The state-owned outlet opined: “People living in the area told the BBC of their deep sense of shock. Even after nearly three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, for many Muscovites, the war is something that is happening a long way away – something they only see on TV or on their phones. The killing of a Russian general in Moscow is a sign that this war is very real and very close to home.”
Russia has vowed to retaliate for the murder of Igor Kirillov. Zelensky and his cronies in Kiev are no doubt bracing themselves. The British werewolves of London might want to re-check their security arrangements, too.
Questions have to be asked about how Russian security services. How could they be so easily penetrated only a few kilometers from the Kremlin – and not for the first time? Only last week, a senior missile scientist, Mikhail Shatsky, was shot dead in Moscow in an attack ascribed to Ukrainian secret services.
But also it should be questioned if Russia is being too soft in exacting revenge. Should the masterminds of terrorist operations beyond the puppets in Kiev not also be “legitimate targets,” as the British are so fond of saying?
Russia is always helping Moslems, so maybe it has no principles, while being superficially Christian
A Murky Business
The Ukie Secret Service no doubt involved but all the info, intelligence data supplied by another not very hidden hand- MI6 and Moßad. Does this make them untouchable? The free hyena press in Britain may well be gloating in the seeming impunity to assassinate political enemies but they reveal an essential schizophrenia in their thinking . On the one hand The Russian Threat is constantly conjured to condition people in Britain & the EU to accept war with Russia as inevitable. If ‘we’ don’t resist this massive ‘threat’ then Putin’s juggernaut will run amok in Europe snuffing out ‘freedom’ On the other hand, Russian weapons, military competence are constantly ridiculed. Remember the sniper of Kiev? Remember the Russians had no chips to launch missiles with and had to cannibalise dishwashers etc etc. And every new provocation seems to embolden the Recliner Warriors in NATO capitols, notably London.
This last point is Putin’s fault. Every Red Line appears written in invisible ink, every new attack or pushing of the envelope is greeted with the response that there will be consequences, but for whom and nothing happens? Putin appears to be allowing himself to be pushed further and further into the Nuclear Corner with nowhere else to go due to his hesitancy and delusional obsession with negotiating with western ‘partners’ . Now seemingly waiting until Trump picks up a phone? Disastrous , the Great British Hyena will pull some massive stunt before that . Putin is beginning to look ominously like one of his predecessors Nikolai II . If top generals and missile experts can be murdered outside their own homes or in Moscow parks with no reply then this is an Emperor with no clothes.
Unless of course both of these top men were strongly opposed to ending the war in Ukie with terms favourable only to the West and thus had to be removed? Not impossible either. Think Wagner.
Why Putin is toying with the idea of negotiating with Zelensky provided the latter gets elected again is beyond comprehension. Z welshed on the agreement in April 22 when Blobby Johnson promised him aid til the very end…. This pygmy clown has become the West’s Posterboy, money extortionist and launder in chief, he is the vector of NATO power & influence and guarantees yet more and likely serious attacks on Russia. Putin needs to take a leaf out of the Israeli playbook and decapitate some leadership fast . Why not revive the Serbian Black Hand and target EU and British leaders since they seem to applaud assassination of key Russians so much? After all, the IRA nearly got Thatcher and succeeded with Uncle DICKie plus MPs and various retired militarist buffers/judges etc. to great effect.
The King joked ‘I’m still alive’ during visit celebrating Walthamstow community
Story by Sam Hall
“I’m still alive.”
The royal couple waved at the crowds outside the town hall and went on a walkabout following the visit, after meeting representatives from different faith communities.
During the visit Camilla donated 25 toys to Citizens UK, to be passed on to children living in asylum hotels, and a donation to a food bank was left on the King’s behalf.
The donation included Waitrose cartons of long-life milk, Christmas puddings, custard and mince pies.
nothing was left for the non ethnic folk in the east end borough
After listening to a performance by a children’s choir, A Little Choir of Joy, Charles told them: “I do hope you have a very happy Christmas.”
He then joked that the children in the choir, made up of eight to 12 year-olds from schools in the borough, should “make the most of it” for the “poor teachers”.
Refreshments for the reception were provided by Haven Cafe, whose owner Usman Khalid is a former asylum seeker who trains refugees to be baristas.
After disorder across some parts of the UK, thousands of people gathered in Walthamstow for a counter-demonstration on August 7, and those planning to protest outside an immigration centre were stopped from turning up.
The area in north-east London was one of hundreds of locations earmarked for protests, and there with fears of widespread unrest.
Instead, at least 5,000 counter-protesters gathered outside the immigration centre, taking a stand, they said, supporting immigration racism and multiculturalism.
Among those greeting the royal couple in the town hall was Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, who said the visit “means a lot”.
Speaking after the visit, the Labour MP told the PA news agency: “The right wing are very active in our local community, and they continue to come and protest here.
“That means that we as a community have to be constantly vigilant and it means a lot that the King has recognised the community, the grassroots activism for immigration.
“We never want to get to a place again where people are having to challenge the right wing on our streets.”
Buckingham Palace said the protest demonstrated the “true community spirit of the borough, coming together to keep people and communities safe”.
Waltham Forest was officially recognised as an ethnic Borough of Sanctuary by the migrant community
First of all, there is a war going on. If you wear a uniform you are an adversary. Ukraine does not have the ability to invade Moscow. Infiltrators are a legitimate war fighting method. What strikes me is the amount of involvement of the British. They have shown their hand. Washington takes its marching orders from London. In fact, if one studies the history of the US one will see they never truly became an independent country. It is an Anglo-American empire. Its not the Jews who rule. When they are no longer useful they will be tossed aside.
Yes… the depraved depth of British Establisment “culture” (cough! cough!) with its attendant pack of lying-media hyenas proseletysing to The Proles…
would be enough to make Satan himself “green with envy”…
if he, in fact, wasn’t actually the one running the show! 😒
British media are just bloodlusti jewish .
Putin should take in consideration !
Putin are you a traitor to your russian slaves ?
We people, (Seeing the truth) should start investing in mushroom farms, with the current availability of horse shit !
Like mushrooms, we are kept in the dark and fed horse shit and bullshit by the lying chicken shits.
pervert gay intelectual kanaille whores !
Too bad its all a hoax. The Jew wasn’t ‘assassinated’. Off to Israel to live in the sun with his fellow Yid Prigozhin. More kool-aid for the morons to guzzle.
