Internet rumors: Putin suffered a stroke and is in a coma; Medvedev takes control in Russia

LATEST - Russia: Vladimir Putin is said to have baby in Switzerland

The internet is ablaze with rumors and concerns about the health of Russian President Vladimir Putin since he's not been seen in public since March 5th:

Vladimir Putin’s spokesman has been forced to deny that the 62-year-old president is in poor health after a string of meetings were canceled and the Kremlin published old photographs to claim work was proceeding as usual.

Concerns over Putin’s well-being were first raised earlier this week when he postponed a trip to Kazakhstan for talks with the country’s president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko. A source in the Kazakh government told Reuters that the visit was canceled because Putin had fallen ill.

Putin has not been seen in public since a meeting and press conference with Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi on 5 March, where he appeared healthy.

“There’s no need to worry, everything is fine,” Peskov told the radio station Ekho Moskvy when asked about the leader’s health. He said Putin is “constantly in meetings, but they are not all public”, adding that the business at hand was “very stressful” because of the crises he is dealing with.

The Russian president was slated to talk with officials from Georgia’s breakaway republic of South Ossetia on Wednesday, but the meeting was reportedly canceled at the last minute. He also failed to attend an annual meeting with officers of the Federal Security Service on Thursday, although Peskov said he hadn’t been planning to attend this year. Sources close to the Kremlin reportedly told RBK newspaper that the governor of the Yamal-Nenets region hadn’t met with Putin on Tuesday, even though the presidential website said he had.

According to sources of Igor Stepanov, a well-known Russian blogger and political activist, Putin is alive but in an induced coma after a severe stroke. The Russian President has been under extensive stress recently due to conflicts among intelligence agencies around him. At the moment, these conflicts continue and decision-making in the Kremlin is partially paralyzed.

Respected Ukrainian blogger Vitaly Kim said that, according to his sources, all power in the Kremlin is now in the hands of Prime Minister Medvedev, including management of the armed forces. Military helicopters have been seen landing on government buildings in central Moscow including the Kremlin and the Lubyanka FSB headquarters. Here's some video from Moscow today:

Unconfirmed Russian Internet rumors that Vladimir Putin is dead

DEBKAfile March 12, 2015, 11:03 AM (IDT)

DEBKAfile reports that Russian websitesThursday morning began running unconfirmed reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin had suddenly died. This has not been confirmed by any official in Moscow. But a short announcement of Putin’s death was seen briefly on Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s website early Thursday, only to be removed after 20 minutes. According to officials in Moscow, Putin was expected in Kazakhstan Thursday for meetings with its leaders, but failed to turn up.

Russkiy Monitor has gone ahead and published an email received by the editorial office claiming that Putin had a stroke. The Interpreter has a translation:

A letter arrived in the electronic email box of Russkiy Monitor signed by an anonymous official of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Department of Presidential Affairs in Moscow, in which he reported that among the patients of this elite Moscow hospital, where the top leadership of the Russian Federation are registered, there were rumors that Vladimir Putin was diagnosed several days ago with an ischemic stroke. Even so, the source said that the president was not hospitalized directly at the Central Clinical Hospital.

The editorial board of Russian Monitor cannot confirm or deny the information which might very well be false, however we must note the fact that the president has not been seen in public since last week, his meeting with the presidents of Belarus and Kazakhstan was unexpectedly cancelled. Observers note that since Putin has been in power, nothing of this sort has occurred.

Putin Cries With Laughter At The World

"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." - Joseph Stalin



Video and pictures of Vladimir Putin with a tear-filled eye are being transmitted around the world as the Russian Prime Minister's defrauding of humanity continues unabated with his purported reelection as president of Russia.



From SkyNews:

Vladimir Putin has claimed victory in Russia's presidential election, amid allegations from his rivals that voting was marred by fraud.

Speaking at a rally attended by tens of thousands of supporters outside the Kremlin walls in Moscow, the prime minister insisted it had been an "open and honest" contest.

He added: "I promised you we would win. We have won. Glory to Russia".

From Bloomberg:

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claimed victory in a presidential election that his opponents say was marred by fraud, accusing protesters against his rule of seeking to usurp power.

“We won in an open and honest fight,” Putin said in front of thousands of supporters near the Kremlin last night as tears streamed down his face. “We showed that our people can easily distinguish between a desire for novelty and renewal from political provocations which have only one goal: to destroy Russian statehood and usurp power.”

Putin, 59, who has been at Russia’s helm for 12 years including the last four as premier, won another six years in the Kremlin with 63.7 percent of the vote, with more than 99 percent of all ballots counted. About 65 percent of the country’s 110 million eligible voters cast ballots, Central Election Commission chief Vladimir Churov said on state television. Opposition groups plan a rally in Moscow today.

While the masses will undoubtedly fall for the notion that Vladimir Putin became teary-eyed out of joy in returning to the Russian presidency (like he had lost control as prime minister?), the truth is that if there were any sincerity to his tears it would be from his inside laughter at the mind-boggling gullibility and stupidity of this world.

Vladimir Putin is one of the most corrupt, murderous, tyrannical leaders in modern history.

As head of the FSB and Russian president between the 1999 and 2008, he and his associates amassed multi-billion dollar empires through looting of national resources:



What's worse, Putin's ascension to the Russian presidency was built on the corpses of hundreds of innocent Russian citizens murdered in the 1999 FSB bombings of apartment buildings that were blamed on Chechen separatists:



The FSB defector who helped reveal to the world this diabolical crime, Alexander Litvinenko (I ran the "Litvinenko Chronicles" prior to his murder), was assassinated with radioactive polonium in 2006. The KGB men who carried out the dastardly deed have been treated as heroes in Russia and protected from extradiction to the U.K. for their murderous crime.

Rather symbolically, in April 2010 Putin and his cohorts in Russian intelligence surreptitiously took down Poland's 'Air Force One' in Smolensk Russia killing President Lech Kaczyński and his wife, much of his staff, former Polish President Ryszard Kaczorowski, and a large chunk of Poland's military high command including Chief of Staff Franciszek Gągor. The Polish entourage was headed to a commemoration ceremony for the 1940 slaughter of 22,000 Polish officers and others in the Katyn Forest by Russia's secret police:



Vladimir Putin took charge of the investigation and blamed the tragedy on an accident caused by Polish negligence and incompetence.

But all these crimes will likely end up a footnote of history compared to what Vladimir Putin and his demonic henchmen ultimately have planned for this world:


"By all accounts, we will not manage to escape a big war (that)....may lead to the annihilation of cities."
- Russian Orthodox Church Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin



How easily people forget history:



Of course, why should I even bother trying to explain the truth to a world that doesn't care?

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12]

Everyone seems to think they are above 'The Truth' in this day and age. How smart is that?
