Please spare me the outrage over Navalny
American Thinker ^ | February 17, 2024 | By Jim Daws

Posted on 02/17/2024 9:22:05 AM PST by Kazan

There was a time when I could concern myself with the well-being and virtue of other nations. It was in those days, not so very long ago, that ours was a nation of laws, with leaders who had its best interests at heart and who, more or less, abided by our Constitution and at least tried to do right by America.

But that time has passed.

Today we have a political class, legal system and press that prioritizes political power and profit above such mundane matters as fidelity to the Constitution, public safety, and prosperity of their fellow citizens. In the power centers of our nation's capital and major cities, our political class now has a majority coalition of leftist ideologies, cultural Marxists and cynical establishment pols feeding on the carcass of our once-great nation.

Our legal system in the capital and major cities has been hijacked to the service of that political class and notions of equal protection and fidelity to the people’s law be damned.

###

I’m told that Navalny and his political movement are the victims of persecution and oppression by Russia’s president, security services and legal system, while I see our own president, legal system and security services violate our laws to jail and destroy their political opponents, great and small, by the thousands -- all the while encouraging the criminality of their fellow travelers.

So forgive me if I seem insufficiently concerned over the death of Alexei Navalny, may he rest in peace.

“How is killing someone trying to overthrow your country a dictator??”

You sound like the Democrats who want to kill President Trump.

Except, unlike you and your fellow democraps, I don’t think Trump has overthrown the US government, but the democraps did by stealing the 2020 election.

“It’s not the nature of the evidence it’s the seriousness of the charges.”

Also, I would hope that you will someday soon face the exact same kind of treatment as did Mr. Navalny. It would be fitting and I’m sure you won’t think it unfair.

Go to Twitter and see the video of Navalny for yourself. You should see the video.

"Below, you can see Navalny discussing planning “mass protests, civil initiatives, propaganda, establishing contacts with elites” with British MI6 agent, James William Thomas Ford, via the funding from unnamed rich billionaires."

Navalny Video

Watch it if you have a single cell in your body that really does want the truth.

I’ve seen this and it does not in any way excuse murder.

Yeah this all rings pretty hollow when we have Americans in solitary confinement in DC jails for 3 years for Trespassing.

👆👆👆That, right there.

Murder? Your own country murders people, but you want to go after Russia? Killing a subversive is not murder anyway. He tried to create a coup against his own country in cooperation with foreign agents from England and is rightfully dead, suicide or not.

“Your own country murders people”

And what country is your country since it’s not the USA?

Britain and France, who have such a hard on to get the US (taxpayer) to send even more and more $Billions to “Ukraine,” are playing right along in their media, to ballyhoo the death of the Russian dissident Navalny.
