Russian politician Boris Nemtsov was gunned down in the streets of Moscow during a midnight stroll with his young Ukrainian mistress a few days before he was due to lead an anti-government protest rally. The western media, led by the Rothschild owned Economist, were quick to accuse president Putin of the murder despite any credible evidence. They failed to mention that Mr. Nemtsov was a U.S. sponsored agitator who participated in the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine a decade ago, and an associate of the current junta leaders including Petro Poroshenko. As in the recent "Charlie Hebdo" affair, the fact that the victim was Jewish only adds fuel to the propaganda fire.

"Nemtsov became a prominent face of the 'opposition' from 2011 to early 2012 when he and his 'uncivil society' friends attended a super-covert meeting at the US embassy in Moscow shortly after Michael McFaul had been appointed US ambassador. Unfortunately for the erstwhile 'oppositionists', several TV crews were waiting for them... Ambassador McFaul serves on the board of directors of Freedom House and the National Endowment for Democracy... In 2011 the Brookings Institution published a report that called on the US Senate to confirm McFaul as ambassador...penned by arch-Neo-Conservative Robert Kagan, who is married to the 'freedom-cookie queen' of the Euromaidan [coup in Ukraine], Victoria Nuland of the US State Dept."

UPDATE: In July, President Putin closed down the subversive operations of the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy in Russia, declaring it an "undesirable organization". The long-time president of NED is Jewish CFR member Carl Gershman.

"[NED president] Carl Gershman took a personal hand in the Ukraine crisis and recognized it as an interim step toward regime change in Moscow... [He] called Ukraine “the biggest prize” and explained how pulling it into the Western camp could contribute to the ultimate defeat of Russian President Putin."
