This is the way the game is played in Communist controlled countries - coming to the U.S. soon (perhaps aready here).

Time is growing very short to save our country.

The 4 cornerstones of our Republic:
Soap Box
Jury Box
Ballot Box
Ammo Box

Trust in G-d and pray that we have enough time so that the first 3 will be up to the task.

Pray America is waking

Two days ago ‘the Russian defense minister’ and the heads of ‘the Federal Security Service’ and ‘the Federal Protective Service’.... were all in Crimea.... If Putin is there he wouldn’t announce. Although interesting to know of it doesn’t answer the question of Putin’s laying low....which may be all it is since there’s plenty willing to assassinate him with all the chaos of events recently and coming up.

The fact these meetings cancelled were done by leadership and not Putin saying he had determined he was going to cancel them leads me to imagine possible he may be ill....otherwise could be a coup for all we know?

Oh that guy is loyal to Putin no doubt...but his father was the former President so no surprise it was a matter of time....there was an age limit I read, so he took office when he was “of age” and the youngest there has been.

Meanwhile...The fact people are trying to figure out what’s with Putin’s absence is significant all by itself...and speaks volumes somethings happened or is being prepared to.

Just curious...Where’s Khodorkovsky?..... If a coup he’s the West’s man of the hour if Putin goes down.

Guess I'll answer my own question on Where's Khodorkovsky.. Yesterday Khodorkovsky's spokeswoman finds a funeral wreath outside her door......looks and sounds like a threat.....might be more going on then we can imagine at this rate... there seems to be a kill list in Chechnya, Khodorkovsky and Sobchak are on it

The “stroke” is the first rumor I heard...apparently coming from someone in the hospital where he’s being treated.

Hopefully it will be like Lenin's.

That they're playing old clips of him is somewhat suspicious.

The guy's in good shape, maybe his exercise machine broke and beat the crap out of him, such things have been known to happen....................

If he is dead it is payback time in hell for Putin the killer of tens of thousands.

Sounds like the type of man Putin wants in power. He is still upset that his man is out in Ukraine. The nerve of those people in Ukraine to want to pick their own leaders.

“Beware the ides of March,” a soothsayer warned Caeasar.

Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated on the ides of March 44 B.C. (15 March on Julian calendar), a month after Caesar was appointed dictator in perpetuo by the Roman Senate.

In Roman times, the ‘ides’ referred to the middle of a month. For the months of March, May, July and October, the ides fell on the 15th day. For the other months, the 13th day.

The earliest Roman calendar had 10 months. March was the first month of the year. The first full moon of the new year marked the ides of March.

This year, a full moon occurred on 05 March 2015, the last day Vladimir Putin was seen publicly.

I hear an interesting report this evening that Russia is in negotiations with Turkey about running natural gas to Europe through Turkey, rather than through Ukraine. Running lines through Belarus would also work. Could that be why Putin is out of sight??
