Mensen, je hebt van die berichten waarvan je onmiddellijk denkt, hoe is ‘t in godsnaam mogelijk? Zo kreeg ik Gisteren van Anti-Media het volgende bericht, over 4 Russische diplomaten die kort na elkaar zijn gestorven, terwijl de media er geen of weinig aandacht voor hadden.
Uiteraard gaat het in dit bericht vooral over de media in de VS. In de EU, althans Duitsland, België, Nederland en Groot-Brittannië, was de moord op de Russische ambassadeur in Turkije, Andrey Karlov, wel degelijk groot nieuws. Ook al besteedde men amper aandacht aan de dader en waarom deze Karlov vermoordde, men lulde gewoon na, wat de Turkse autoriteiten oplepelden………
Karlov was de eerste van 4 Russische diplomaten die om het leven kwam, daarna volgden nog 2 ambassadeurs en een hoge Russische diplomaat……
Toevallig in een tijd, waar diplomatie van ervaren diplomaten hoognodig was, daar de spanningen tussen de VS en Rusland bijna met de dag groeiden (en intussen weer groeien…)…..
In het kader van deze zaken, maar vooral wat betreft de moord op Karlov, valt ook de zogenaamde suïcide van Yves Chandelon op, een NAVO boekhouder*.
Hier het artikel van Anti-Media:
Media
Silent As 4 Top Russian Diplomats Die
(MPN) While
few might consider being a diplomat a life-threatening or even
dangerous job, that trend may be quickly reversing — that is, at
least for Russian diplomats.
With
recent media attention squarely focused on Donald Trump’s ascension
to the Oval Office and various controversies swirling throughout the
early days of his presidency, a string of sudden, mysterious deaths
of top Russian diplomats have largely evaded media scrutiny and
public attention.
Further,
public interest in these deaths, at least in the United States, has
been minimized, as much of the negative press Trump has received
along the same timeframe has been related to his
allegedly close relationship with
the Russian government, tying in with months
of anti-Russian propaganda relating
to the Syrian conflict and allegations that Russia had a role in
manipulating the U.S. presidential election.
Since
late December, four top Russian diplomats, including three
ambassadors, have died under circumstances that remain unclear.
This
troublesome trend began on Dec. 20, when Andrey Karlov, Russia’s
ambassador to Turkey, was
gunned down in
Ankara during a photo exhibition event. The assailant, a 22-year-old
off-duty Turkish police officer, took advantage of the bloody
spectacle to yell, “Don’t forget Aleppo!” — a reference to
Russia’s controversial role in helping the Syrian government
reclaim what was once the country’s largest city from U.S.-backed
Al-Qaida terrorists.
Karlov’s
death came at a critical juncture in Russian-Turkish relations, as
the two nations were in the midst of reconciliation efforts following
an incident in which Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet over
Syria in 2015, damaging diplomatic relations.
Russian
President Vladimir Putin called
Karlov’s assassination a clear provocation intended
to derail Syrian peace negotiations. Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan echoed these sentiments, adding,
“Both Turkey and Russia have the will not to be deceived by this
false flag attack.”
However,
media attention of the assassination was derailed, as it took
place on
the same day as
a high-profile terrorist attack in Berlin carried out by a
Tunisian asylum seeker who
had allegedly expressed support for Daesh (an Arabic acronym for the
terrorist group known in the West as ISIS or ISIL).
A
few weeks later, yet another Russian diplomat died suddenly, this
time in Athens, Greece.
Andrey
Malanin, a senior diplomat at Russia’s embassy in the Greek
capital, was
found dead on
the bathroom floor of his apartment on Jan. 9. After his body was
discovered, Greek police launched an investigation into his death.
Despite an initial statement that Malanin appeared to have died from
natural causes at “first sight,” the investigation has yet to
conclude, leaving the official cause of Malanin’s death still
unestablished.
The
weeks since have seen the deaths of two more Russian ambassadors.
Russia’s
ambassador to India, Alexander Kadakin, died
at a hospital in India on
Jan. 26 following a “brief,” unspecified illness. Indian
leaders mourned the
death of Kadakin, who was credited with having
played a significant role in
promoting Indian-Russian relations, culminating in major
defense and energy deals between
the two nations in October of last year.
Most
recently, on Feb. 20, Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the
United Nations, died
suddenly at work in
New York. In its official announcement, Russia’s foreign
ministry offered
no details on the circumstances of
Churkin’s death, instead offering condolences to his friends and
relatives. Unnamed U.S. government and law enforcement officials,
however, told
Reuters that
Churkin had apparently died of a heart attack, though the exact cause
of his death remains
unknown.
Churkin’s
deputy, Pyotr Ilyichev, said
the late diplomat “devoted
his whole life to defending the interests of Russia and was found on
the very front lines and in the most stressful posts.” Indeed,
Churkin drew condemnation from several of his Western colleagues
for his
strong defense of
Russia’s bombing campaign in the Syrian city of Aleppo, yet
remained steadfast in his support of Moscow’s foreign policy.
Russian
news agencies reported that Putin was
deeply upset by
the news of Churkin’s death.
The
deaths of these four high-level Russian diplomats came at a time of
uncertainty in U.S.-Russian relations. International attention has
focused heavily on the
controversial phone call between
Trump’s national security advisor, retired Gen. Michael Flynn, and
a Russian diplomat at Russia’s U.S. embassy, which ultimately led
to Flynn’s resignation.
As
the controversy surrounding Flynn consequently focused attention on
the relationship between the Trump administration and the Russian
government, this string of deaths came at a time when diplomatic
nuance and expertise would be particularly useful.
