What was shocking is a truce had been broken. There has always been 2 groups battling for power and the fact they didn't want retaliation if the other group comes to power.
What's diffrent is aparently the message is being sent no one is safe anymore and all bets are off. Do not be surprised at this point if Putin does away with precious reforms democracy is dead iN Russia.

The exact same thing, however when it comes to getting rid of someone considered to be their own opposition in times of heightened tension we have not seen for decades you would think they would be a little more discrete.
There has been many accusations throughout the year about what the evil Putin is doing, one only needs to remember MH17 to understand my point.
I highly doubt that Putin is some kind of saint, my view is simply this, he is the most powerful man to stand up to the Western banking cartel to ever exist, he appears to have played them like a fiddle and their media can not stand it!

It is not difficult at all to say that your description of Russia is a false narrative as well.
That after the orchestrated collaps of the Soviet Union those loyal to the western bankers were looting Russia and in the works of putting them in their debt forever. Like Yeltsin taking the IMF loan.
You really think that Russia has the biggest cartel in comparisson to the FED, IMF, WB, and BIS?

I know... it's so hard to put all the clues together: a Russian politician who threatened to expose Putin's lies about Crimea is murdered in Moscow in front of the Kremlin by someone driving a State owned automobile and the surveillance cameras supposedly didn't record anything... hmmm.... I know! It was Colonel Mustard in the Library with a lead pipe!

Wow you do realize the IMF isn't even a bank it's a group of countries working together to standardize finance. These countries created a fund that member countries can borrow from in fact many intrest free for a time. This is what Russia did when there economy collapsed took a loan for 2 years there wad zero intrest. Betting from your response you didn't know that. As far as Western bankers looting Russia your funny. All the former KGB agents went around grabbing anything and everything and selling it on the open market. People like Putin grabbed up anything worth money for pennies on the dollar. Bought oil rights and if they couldn't buy them they stole them.

Pfft. What clues?
Broken cameras and stolen cars?
Pulleeze.
Footage from surveillance cameras at the place where he was shot has not been released. Officials have denied earlier reports that the cameras were not functioning.

A good article that talks about how closely the FSB follows opposition members in Moscow...
in.reuters.com...
Needless to say just prior to a Rally they always get followed.
