Robert Fico’s failed assassination raises specter of Western plotting
The Grayzone ^ | May 31, 2024 | Kit Klarenberg

Slovak PM Robert Fico’s independent stance earned him the wrath of NATO and the EU. Did a Western-directed plot to remove his troublesome government from office trigger his assassination attempt?

On May 15, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was almost murdered in broad daylight. While shaking hands with supporters during a public appearance, a gunman shot him twice in the abdomen and once in the shoulder. The attack left him fighting for his life while authorities raced for clues, and many observers at home and abroad puzzled about the would-be assassin’s motives and whether foreign actors were in some way responsible for the attack. And despite the shooter’s instantaneous arrest, those questions still linger weeks later.

Fico, a veteran Slovak political figure, was re-elected in September 2023 amid a wave of public resentment over the proxy war in Ukraine, pledging to end arms supplies to Kiev and anti-Russian sanctions. On the campaign trail, Western leaders, journalists and pundits aggressively stoked fears of the “pro-Putin,” “populist” candidate returning to office. Ukraine’s Western-backed “Center for Countering Disinformation” publicly accused him of spreading “infoterror” back in April 2022.

Actually, the circumstances seem close to William McKinley’s assassination.

“Did a Western-directed plot to remove his troublesome government from office trigger his assassination attempt?”

The Neocons kind of admitted exactly that when they threatened the leader of Georgia with the same ‘treatment’ that Fico got, for not being as expected of a slave-state.

As it was, the Georgian leader didn’t take that crap and instead exposed the threat, thereby letting the world know how slave-states are treated should they ‘misbehave’.

I agree with you, I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to take out Viktor Orban considering how much the rest of the EU and the USA hates him.

I wouldn’t doubt it. This country has become everything it pretends to stand against.

Certainly a possibility. There are, however, coincidences also. They may be rare but they do exist, just as do conspiracies. If we could effectively discern between the two, I think conspiracies out number the coincidences by a large percentage. Like 99-98% to 1-2%.

If the intent was to send a message to Fico who would the gunman have aimed for?

Who it is that the CIA really works for is the very essence of evil.

Bad news for the Zeepers: According to Dima, China is now OPENLY siding with Russia regarding the Neocon War in Ukraine. I suspect China’s had enough of the Neocon escalations and wants to put an end to this war before it causes World War 3. Things are about to get very interesting.

Yes, there was no evidence in the trial of President Trump.

“I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to take out Viktor Orban considering how much the rest of the EU and the USA hates him.”

Here’s the problem for the Neocons: Hungary kicked out the NGOs, which was the main ‘enforcement’ tool of the Neocons. Without the NGOs, the Neocons have to go back to the old methods of secretly infiltrating countries, and I suspect that those methods have become quite rusty, as I doubt that they even have the human assets capable of speaking Hungarian - after all, why bother with that, when you can come through the front door as an NGO.

In any case, the Neocons better STEP UP THEIR GAME, as the rest of the world is wise to the NGOs and are kicking them out, one country at a time.
