AN UNFORTUNATE AND TERRIBLE DEATH IN RUSSIA UNDER VERY
MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS
PREPOSTEROUS.
LET ME EXPLAIN --
>>
>>HUFF POST IS REPORTING THIS, A REALLY INTERESTING REPORT, LET'S
GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS.
THE JOURNALIST IS MAXIM BORODIN --
>>LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THOSE INDEPENDENT REPORTERS IN
RUSSIA THAT ARE COVERING CORRUPTION, WHETHER IT'S THE
OLIGARCHS, THE GOVERNMENT, OR ANYONE ELSE IN POWER IN RUSSIA,
THOSE REPORTERS ARE THE BRAVEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
A LOT OF
MYSTERIOUS DEATHS HAVE HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO
COVER THE CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA, AND MAXIM BORODIN WAS ONE OF
THEM.
AS YOU WILL SEE HERE THERE WERE MANY DIFFERENT ASSAULTS HE
SUFFERED AND HE PERSISTED, UNREAL COURAGE.
NOW --
>>
>>REALLY?
HE'S COVERING RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS AND THE CORRUPTION,
AND HE HAPPENS TO FALL OUT OF HIS FIFTH FLOOR BALCONY, YOU
AREN'T EVEN CONSIDERING A CRIME?
OKAY.
AS HUFF POST EXPLAINS,
SOME OF HIS FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES HAVE EXPRESSED
SKEPTICISM AT THIS ASSESSMENT.
ONE FRIEND SAID IN A FACEBOOK
POST THAT BORODIN HAD BEEN HOSPITALIZED EARLIER THIS MONTH
AFTER A STRANGER ATTACKED HIM OUTSIDE HIS HOME.
HMM, YOU'RE
COVERING CORRUPTION, AND JUST EARLIER THIS MONTH SOMEONE
ATTACKS YOU RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR HOME?
WELL, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY
TIME.
LAST OCTOBER AND ASSAILANT REPORTEDLY HIT BORODIN OVER THE
HEAD WITH A STEEL PIPE SHORTLY AFTER HE REPORTED ON A
CONTROVERSIAL MOVIE ABOUT CZAR NICHOLAS II.
SO THIS GUY KEEPS
GETTING ATTACKED, BUT THE ONES THAT HAPPENED THIS MONTH I THINK
ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING.
THAT'S NOT ALL,
THOUGH.
A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN RUSSIA SAID THAT BORODIN HAD
CONTACTED HIM EARLY IN THE MORNING ON THE DAY BEFORE HIS
FALL TO SAY THAT MEN IN CAMOUFLAGE AND MASKS WERE
SURROUNDING HIS APARTMENT.
HE REPORTEDLY DESCRIBES SOMEONE
WITH A WEAPON ON HIS BALCONY, AND OTHERS ON THE STAIRCASE
LANDING.
GEE, I WONDER IF HE ACTUALLY FELL AND SLIPPED OFF OF
HIS BALCONY ON THE FIFTH FLOOR, OR PERHAPS IT WAS THE GUYS IN
MASKS AND CAMOUFLAGE FROM THE DAY BEFORE WHO RETURNED THE NEXT
DAY.
NOW, BORODIN WAS A REPORTER, SO HE THEN CALLED BACK
AND SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE PROBABLY DOING A
MILITARY EXERCISE, IT'S PROBABLY NO BIG DEAL.
YOU KNOW, GOD BLESS
HIM FOR ALWAYS WANTING TO CHECK THE FACTS AND GETTING THEM RIGHT
AND BEING SKEPTICAL BY NATURE.
SO ARE THEY REALLY COMING TO MY
HOUSE, THESE GUYS AND MASKS, ETC.?
IT TURNS OUT, IN MY
ESTIMATION, AND IN ANY SANE ESTIMATION, YES, THEY WERE
COMING FOR HIM AND THEY DID GET HIM.
AND WHEN THE AUTHORITIES
SAY IT WAS JUST A SLIP AND FALL FROM THE FIFTH FLOOR BALCONY,
YOU GET A SENSE OF WHY HE WAS STUDYING THE CORRUPTION IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
SO NOW LET'S TELL YOU ABOUT THE GUY HE WAS
STUDYING.
THIS GUY HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT ISSUES, ONE WAS WHAT
HE WAS LOOKING INTO WITH BASICALLY THE MERCENARY ARMY IN
SYRIA, ANOTHER ONE IS WHAT IS ALLUDED TO HERE.
RUSSIAN
OLIGARCH YEVGENY PRIGOZHIN IS SUSPECTED OF BANKROLLING THE
WAGNER GROUP.
THE U.S. INDICTED HIM IN FEBRUARY ON BACKING THE
SO-CALLED TROLL FACTORY THAT SPEARHEADED RUSSIAN EFFORTS TO
INFLUENCE THE 2016 U.S. PRESIDENT ELECTION.
SO THE
OLIGARCH HE WAS LOOKING INTO IS THE ONE THAT APPARENTLY
ORGANIZED AND FINANCED THE TROLL FACTORY, AND THE GUY WINDS UP
GETTING THROWN OFF A BALCONY.
NOW, I DON'T THINK IT WAS
NECESSARILY IN REGARDS TO THE TROLL FACTORY OR OUR ELECTIONS,
BECAUSE HE WAS COMFORTING WHAT THE OLIGARCH WAS DOING IN SYRIA,
SO LET'S TELL YOU ABOUT THAT.
THAT WAS THE WAGNER GROUP, AND
LOOK INTO HIS REPORTING ON THAT, AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE U.S. AND
THE RUSSIANS, AND THIS IS BY THE WAY BACKED UP BY WESTERN MEDIA,
SOME WESTERN MEDIA, AS WELL, ALREADY HAD CONTACTED SYRIA,
THAT EARLIER HUNDREDS OF RUSSIANS MIGHT HAVE DIED IN A
BATTLE WITH U.S. TROOPS, THAT IS REALLY INTERESTING AND THE
RUSSIANS DON'T WANT THAT TO GET OUT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, I
DON'T WANT ANY MORE CONFLICT THERE, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IF
THE RUSSIANS HAVE MERCENARIES THERE OR A PRIVATE ARMY THERE
THAT'S ALSO FASCINATING AND IT'S THE JOB OF A REPORTER TO UNCOVER
THAT.
HE'S NOT THE ONLY PERSON TRAINED TO UNCOVER CORRUPTION
THAT HAS MET AN UNFORTUNATE FATE IN
RUSSIA --
SO OVER AND OVER
AGAIN JOURNALISTS ARE TARGETED AND MURDERED THERE.
ANOTHER
REPORTER THAT WAS RECENTLY ATTACKED, WE TOLD YOU ABOUT ON
THE YOUNG TURKS, HER NAME WAS TATYANA FALGENHAUER, SHE WAS
STABBED IN THE NECK, SHE RECOVERED AND THEN HAD THE
COURAGE TO GO TO A PUTIN PRESS CONFERENCE AND ASK HIM A REALLY
TOUGH QUESTION ON NATIONAL TELEVISION WITH A GIANT SCAR ON
HER NECK.
THE BRAVEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.
SO IT'S NOT JUST
JOURNALISTS, LET ME GIVE YOU MORE CONTEXT INTO WHAT HAPPENS
IN RUSSIA.
SOMETIMES PUTIN'S POLITICAL ENEMIES, AND EVEN HIS
DIPLOMATS RIGHT AROUND OUR ELECTION TIME, WIND UP ALSO
FALLING OFF OF BALCONIES.
LOTS OF COINCIDENCES --
>>
>>WHAT AN UNREAL COINCIDENCE.
HE'S ABOUT TO TESTIFY IN A
MONEY-LAUNDERING CASE AGAINST OLIGARCHS, HE HAPPENS TO SLIP
WHILE TRYING TO MOVE A BATHTUB AND FLY OUT THE WINDOW.
WHICH
PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BELIEVES THESE STORIES?
AND
FINALLY, AND THIS IS AMAZING --
>>
>>BY THE WAY, THREE OF THE RUSSIANS "DIED" CERTAINLY UNDER
MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES HERE IN THE U.S. TWO IN NEW YORK AND ONE
IN WASHINGTON.
INCLUDING THE FOUNDER OF R.T.
WHAT IS OUR
GOVERNMENT DOING?
DO WE REALLY BELIEVE THE RUSSIANS' CLAIMS
THAT A GUY WHO WAS THROWN OFF A ROOF DIED OF A HEART ATTACK?
HE
MIGHT HAVE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK BEFORE HE LANDED HE WAS
THROWN OFF A ROOF.
THE OTHER GUY WAS THROWN OUT A WINDOW, AT
LEAST THAT'S NOT IN OUR JURISDICTION, AND IN THIS CASE
NOW A REPORTER THROWN OFF 1/5 FLOOR BALCONY.
YET AGAIN ALMOST
SLIP AND FALLS, ALL THESE OPPONENTS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN AND
RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS.
SO I'M A PROGRESSIVE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA
OR OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD ESCALATE THE SITUATION.
BUT IF
YOU THINK PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE VLADIMIR PUTIN ARE WELCOMED IN
RUSSIA IN AN OPEN DEMOCRACY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENING IN
RUSSIA AND ONE MORE TIME THE REPORTER IS TRYING TO UNCOVER
CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA, HATS OFF TO THEM, ABSOLUTE PROFILES IN
COURAGE AND ITS A SHAME THAT THE WORLD IS MISSING MAXIM BORODIN
NOW, A TRUE HERO.
