Vladimir Putin is 'alive' but 'neutralised' as shadowy security chiefs stage a stealthy coup in Moscow, it was claimed last night.
Former FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev was behind the plot, claimed chairman of the pro-Kremlin national Islamic Committee, Geydar Dzhemal.
Snip...
'I think that Putin is neutralised at the moment, but of course, he is alive,' said Dzhemal, seen as a Kremlin loyalist. 'He is under the control of the power-wielding agencies, who have, in my opinion, organised a coup d'etat.'

'My information is that Patrushev met Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov in Pyatigorsk on 11 March and tempted him over to his side.'
With feverish speculation in Moscow over Putin's health and whereabouts, and claims of a bitter power struggle in his entourage which could even trigger an attempted coup, the head of Chechnya spoke emotionally of people 'trying to harm the president of Russia - and Russia itself'. And he claimed that forces were scheming 'to break us apart', referring to him and his guarantor Putin.
snip...
The voices of prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of the Kremlin staff Sergei Ivanov - and Putin's intelligence tsars - have remained silent. Kadyrov has enjoyed extraordinary power and largesse under Putin as a reward for keeping an iron grip on the rebellious oil-rich Chechen region, scene of two bloody wars since the collapse of the USSR. As a result he is hated by many senior Putin loyalists. But Kadyrov's enemies claimed yesterday that the 38 year old bearded regional potentate is in 'panic' because he can no longer contact his mentor. 'He is phoning anyone he can in an attempt to arrange a talk with Putin - but he fails,' alleged a website linked to Islamic hardliners seeking to overthrow Kadyrov.

“They’re all still looking..’Where’s Putin”...lol”
Naw, somewhere there’s a African or Asian rep who has just “rattled one” down his pant leg and they are all just looking for it. Either that or Merkel has lost a contact lens.
I like tongue-twisters. Say that 10 times fast
I saw that also....who really knows...but apparently Putin isn’t all that concerned to let the people know he’s still President...despite all the chatter he’s still remaining silent.....but where then are all his staff and supporters???? ..who also remain to be heard or seen????
Churchill’s words about Russia ring just as true. It is a riddle in a mystery inside an enigma.
Oh dear . . . I wonder if the FRussians will tell us John McCain is behind it.
Wonder if Lukashenko had anything to do with it?
...”Churchill’s words about Russia ring just as true. It is a riddle in a mystery inside an enigma”....
Absolutely!
Russia’s President is elected by the people of Russia. He could be forced to resign so if there is any truth to the rumors - it would have been common knowledge in Moscow already, unless Kremlin factions can’t agree on a successor.
Khruschev lost the support of Communist Party elites because of his erratic policies and humiliating the Soviet Union during the Cuban missile crisis. He had no independent power base so his downfall was a foregone conclusion.
Putin may be sick or on vacation but a telling instance that he is still in charge is Rossiya Channel 1 tonight broadcasted an interview about his actions in Ukraine/Crimea. That would not have happened had he been deposed. Small things like this take on huge significance in Russia and for Western Kremlin watchers as well.
The way Stalin would neutralize anyone was to have them brought to the NKVD headquarters and into a room and face a log wall. They would be shot in the head and their body taken thru another door to a waiting truck. This would go on all day and night.

Keep in mind that obama friend Bill Ayers said that to overthrow the United States they would need to kill 25 million people. Thus you have obamacare and the vaccines that Bill Gates pays for that also kill children in the womb. Eugenics and socialism go hand in hand.
No way Putin is a pedophile.
Anywhere except Canada, please! THAT would be the biggest insult possible.
Perhaps 0.00boogaloo 1st could visit McMurdo Station to ‘govern’ his Caliphate from there.
>>I would say that Putin has been Russia’s most powerful leader, in terms of real executive leadership not dictatorial powers, since perhaps Peter the Great.
Finally some observational realpolitik on this forum.
When we had an intelligence apparatus they were all over stuff like this.....
If he’s sick, that would explain a lot. And with an 88% popular approval rating, no one would dare move against him.
Putin will be back. And if I’m wrong, the truth will sooner than later reveal itself.
She is young but not that young, the frisky old commie!
He’s enormously popular.
As President, he has no real rivals.
It would take an extreme situation for the Russian elites to decide they’re better off without him.
Remember during the 91 coup attempt, Gorby was on vacation and put under house arrest but the official line was that he was ill.
So they fired him like Lane Kiffin was at USC?
I won’t believe any of it until I hear it from Pravda.
