Russian media mogul found dead in upscale D.C. hotel

Russian media mogul found dead in upscale D.C. hotel

Mikhail Lesin, a former aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin who helped found the English-language news service Russia Today (RT), was found dead in an upscale Washington hotel room, police and Russian officials said. He was 57.

Although there was no evidence of foul play–reported as a heart attack– homicide detectives were investigating Lesin’s death, police said Saturday. Beverly Fields, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office, said the cause and manner of death remained undetermined on Saturday.

Lesin served as Russian press minister from 1999 to 2004 and presidential media adviser from 2004 to 2009, RT said. He then became a senior executive at Gazprom-Media, Russia’s largest media holding company.

In 1984, he graduated from the Engineering and Construction Institute.  He worked for five years at Minpromstroya aka The Ministry of Industrial Construction of the USSR.

His daughter Catherine ran RT in the USA for awhile.  Current status??  His son Anton is a Hollywood film producer with credits including Rage (originally Tokarev), Haunt, Sabotage, Fading Gigolo, Fury, Rock the Kasbah, The Family Fang, and Dirty Grandpa.  Anton and Sasha Shapiro (male) operate QED Holdings and are principal financiers of the global media fund, Media Content Capital (McC), and formed Covert Media.

Fox Propaganda Against Russia

The headline reads:

Russian troops reportedly join Syria fight, ‘prop up’ Assad

This implies that Assad has been at risk of being over thrown by the terrorist that Obama and Congress have been funding in Syria.  That is doubtful.

 

From article:

The Obama administration’s hopes for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step aside and make way for a democratic government in Damascus are being dashed once again

 

Syria had parliamentary elections in 2012. Russia is planning to help Syria carry out new, early, parliamentary elections despite the crisis largely created by the Obama administration when it either intentionally or accidentally created ISIS while giving monetary support to terrorist within Syria.  The notion that Assad rules in a vacuum without support within Syria is disingenuous.

For the people of the Syria and the larger Middle East it would be better to broaden the government of Syria and to put a constitution in place that restricts who ever is ruling Syria so as to protect all of the people of Syria.  CONSTITUTIONS that establish Republics where people are protected by courts and by a check and balance in power are important.  Establishing order through local governments is important.  Simply replacing ruling factions with other ruling factions without a strong constitution and court system to protect people, accomplishes nothing.  That members of our media and our government do not seem to understand that is beyond troubling.  It is actually kind of scary.

 

From article:

The State Department has warned that Russia’s latest involvement in Syria could “further escalate the conflict” and “risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL Coalition operating in Syria.”

There is little evidence that the terrorist that the Obama Administration has been supporting in Syria are doing much of anything to destroy ISIS.   Rather part of the Obama aid is falling into the hands of ISIS (accidentally or intentionally.)  Even some of the air support that Obama has launched “against” ISIS has helped ISIS by killing the opposition in front of the ISIS march.

There is evidence that Russia is doing quite a bit to defeat ISIS so as to bring stability to Syria and the larger area.

To be clear, as a proud American, writing these kind of editorial responses to propaganda does NOT make me happy.  I would rather write that the US is bringing stability to the Middle East and saving the people from monsters on the march.  That would make me much more happy.  But that is not what my research shows.

Thoughts on Republican Debates on Fox

Any Truth, Proper Grammar, or Correct Spelling is Entirely Coincidental.

I have the debates recorded, that is when the storm was not locking the signal up, but I have not fully analyzed them.  Today, the propagandists on FOX are singing how great the debates were and suggesting in their hypnotic voices who viewers should believe won the debates.

Fox obviously set out to sabotage Donald Trump and knock his poll numbers down while at the same time be protective of Jeb Bush.  The propaganda networks did similar when Romney was running against the Republican field.  Every debate the pundits set out to knock the leading candidate down until they could get Romney to have the poll numbers that would make the election look real.

Today Fox propagandist bemoan that the economy was not much discussed in the debates.  Well, the candidates are the not ones who wrote or chose the questions so whose fault is that?

From the bit I watched it seemed to me that Trump did hold his own.  Mike Huckabee sounded good on Social Security and made Chris Christie look like the evil piece of thieving crap that he is.  Rand Paul also did his part to make Chris Christie look like the un-American, anti-constitutionalist, fascist that he is.

I am an independent with libertarian leanings, though I do believe in helping the poor.  I do believe there is a role for government but it should be limited.  I believe in its role, the government should be more helpful than hurtful to its citizens.

Hopefully I will have a chance to analyze the debates better and be more insightful regarding the candidates in the future.

Some conservative are obviously mad at FOX.  While FOX does still allow some libertarian & conservative voices, the truth is that FOX has always been a backdoor propaganda tool to advance a globalist agenda whether that agenda has been under Bush or Obama.  It really has never been about Conservative or Liberal or Libertarian.  It has always been about advancing the globalist agenda and it is the globalist they will support in these debates.

I know when I try to explain to people that some of the FOX propaganda has always been to advance the Obama globalist agenda people tend to look at me like I am crazy.  It is confusing because some of the propaganda appears to support the conservative cause.  In truth though, the propaganda has been to get liberals so busy pointing and laughing at conservatives that they don’t realize when Obama advances a globalist agenda that they, as real liberals, should have been in the front and center in opposing.  For example, Fox had liberals supporting Romneycare rather than a more workable, less hurtful, public option in competition with the private options.

Anyways FOX is FOX and it is the perfect name given the propaganda games that they play.
