In 2015 a prominent Russian opposition activist named Vladimir Kara-Murza inexplicably suffered multiple organ failure and barely survived after falling into a coma for nearly a week. On Thursday it happened to him again, in much the same way. Since this happened in Moscow, we assume the explanation isn’t innocent.
Mr. Kara-Murza, 35, is a former journalist who worked for a Russian TV station in Washington until he was fired from his job in 2012. That year he testified before the U.S. Congress in favor of the Magnitsky Act, which places financial sanctions and travel bans on corrupt Russian officials. Mr. Kara-Murza described the law as a “pro-Russian bill which provides a much-needed measure of accountability for those who continue to violate the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens.”
That could not have endeared him to the Kremlin. Nor could his close association with Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition politician who was assassinated near the Kremlin in February 2015. Three months later Mr. Kara-Murza became ill after eating lunch at a restaurant. He told CNN that “there is no other possible reason” than politics for his poisoning.

Roger Stone the man who thinks Richard Nixon was the greatest president ever,
Defamation suits are done when someone actually has influence. Stones books have only sold on the conspiracy right...not many and not impressive.
Since I listen to Jones show you can call what I heard an opinion all you want....Stones and jones words were very clear. When what they were predicting didn’t happen then A) Jones said he never said it would happen and B) Stone claimed he was poisoned.
November 2006 - Alexander Litvinenko, KGB defector and author of the book Blowing up Russia, which accuses the Kremlin of masterminding the and Pechatniki and Kashirskoye bombings in order to blame Chechen terrorists and whip up support for an invasion of Chechnya (which shortly followed), is fatally poisoned by radioactive Polonium obtained from Russian sources.
I suspect that there were other reasons or possible reason for Putin to have Litvinenko killed.
It’s like having La Cosa Nostra in charge of the government.
No, they're done when somebody actually defames.
"Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual person, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation.[1]"

>>Since I listen to Jones show
LOL. Of course you do. Jones is a libtard con-artist who has temporarily ridden Trump's popular coat tales out of his niche among Art Bell's UFO / Big Foot / Atlantis / Conspiracy nuts.
Do you listen to Jones in the mail room while licking stamps for credit card shipments?
>>Stone claimed he was poisoned
And you've provided no evidence to disprove that claim.
>>Roger Stone the man who thinks Richard Nixon was the greatest president ever,
Nixon may not have been the greatest president ever - but nobody could accuse him of being a communist or a Russian collaborator; and that factual history is what Stone brought into Trump's campaign circle.
>>Trump was not assasinated [sic]
Why was that?
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Trump+assassination+attempt
Evidently not for a lack of trying or desire to do so.
>>I do not hate anyone.
Who said you hated?
>>You overstate just like Alex
Project much?
What might those reasons be?
Are you drinking tonight??
You included that in your previous answer.
Jones and Stone were claiming that the inauguration was going to be nuked to take out the entire Trump administration.....
I worry for your mental health
Defamation and libel suits are rarely filed by public figures. The reason is obvious....the burden of proof for a public figure is much higher than for the ordinary citizen.
I listen to Jones to hear what crazies are saying
Stones claim was that he was poisoned by polonium. He provided NO proof. All that was apparently true was that he got sick.
Stone was let go from the campaign very early on
Are you a Code Pink Republican?
>>Defamation and libel suits are rarely filed by public figures. The reason is obvious....
>>the burden of proof for a public figure is much higher than for the ordinary citizen.
It seems you’re only pulling that opinion out of your overstating arse because you can’t cite any cases where Stone has been proved to be (or even accused of being) defamatory.
Meanwhile, contradicting your opinion, in recently litigated defamatory case history reality land...
http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/new_trial_ordered_for_jesse_ventura_defamation_verdict
etc etc.
But https://www.google.com/#q=Roger+Stone+Defamation ?? Zilch!
>>I listen to Jones to hear what crazies are saying
You sure it’s not because that’s where your true “kindred spirits” are?
I never listened to Jones before the show he did on Pizzagate - or since. Unless he was trying to channel a drama queen like Jimmy Swaggart, Jones' acting was spectacularly unconvincing.
>>He provided NO proof.
It’s what Stone said he believed. He was obviously sick and he doesn’t have to prove that he believes he was poisoned - or what he believes he was poisoned with.
Stone may be, justifiably, paranoid and / or eccentric (as well as a dapper dresser in a pork pie hat and pin stripe suit when he shows up in the seats at church) but he didn't accuse anybody without proof - like YOU did.
If you have proof that Stone, who you accusatorily assert "is a liar", deliberately deceived folks by misrepresenting material facts regarding his poisoning (or anything else) then put it up - otherwise, you show yourself as nothing but a flatulent and pretentious gasbag with an unsubstantiated projectile opinion.
YMMV - but I'm happy to see Mr. Stone is alive, well, and clearly more of a Kindred Spirit with POTUS Donald Trump than your opinionated and overstating, but vacuously uninsightful, self... will ever be.
“Q&A: Trump Adviser Roger Stone on the Media, Nixon and Russia
Alex Altman
Feb 03, 2017
Few people in politics have known Donald Trump for as long as Roger Stone.
The controversial Republican consultant has advised Trump off and on since they met in 1979, and he was a close but informal confidant for much of the epic presidential campaign. Stone’s book about the race, The Making of the President 2016, was released this week.”

In January 2015, it was reported in the UK media that the National Security Agency had intercepted communications between Russian government agents in Moscow and those who carried out what was called a “state execution” in London: the recorded conversations allegedly proved that the Russian government was involved in Litvinenko’s murder, and suggested that the motive was Litvinenko’s revelations about Vladimir Putin’s links with the criminal underworld.[
