Sausage multi-millionaire Pavel Antov, Russia’s “highest-earning elected politician,” was recently in India celebrating his 66th birthday when he reportedly fell to his death from a hotel window.
(I hate it when that happens.)
In totally unrelated news, Antov had recently criticized Putin’s actions in Ukraine, characterizing air strikes on Kyiv as “terror.”
Oddly, Antov perished shortly thereafter and just two days after a close friend of his unexpectedly died “from a heart attack.”
Antov had highlighted a Russian missile strike, saying:
A girl has been pulled out from under the rubble, the girl’s father appears to have died. The mother is trying to be pulled out with a crane – she is trapped under a slab. To tell the truth, it is extremely difficult to call this anything other than terror.
This led Antov to come under intense pressure… after which he withdrew the comment and issued a sniveling apology, claiming his social media post had been “an unfortunate misunderstanding” and a “technical error.”
Alexei Idamkin, the Russian Consul General in Kolkata, told TASS that Antov “fell” out of a hotel window in Rayagada, Odisha state.
This means Antov joins the expansive ranks of Russian doctors who, in recent years, have also inexplicably met their tragic demise falling out of hospital windows.
[ZH: And follows the death of Ravil Maganov, the vice president and chair of the board of directors of Russian oil giant Lukoil, who died in September after falling out of a sixth floor hospital window in Moscow… who was the latest in a string of unexplained or untimely deaths of Russian magnates connected to the energy industry in the last months.]
Perhaps the Biden administration should start using the same tactic to deal with its perceived enemies? It’s obvious that the Clintons would embrace such measures. And the American mainstream media would love to report that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert, et. al., “fell out a window” to their deaths.
However, if there were many rational people left on this orb, such preposterous “explanations” for the deaths of our rulers’ political opponents would not go unchallenged.
Vlad should’ve claimed that Antov died as a result of something less preposterous than falling out of a hotel window in the winter. Maybe he should have said Antov was hit by a meteor. Or, better yet, a stray Ukrainian missile. Or that he died of climate change.
But, unfortunately, in today’s world, sanity is out the window.
Just like Antov.
We have an unwritten rule but a dedicated , persistent action taken against any American and also foreign journalist whistleblower who exposes crimes of the state . This is particularly true in any conflict that is current and involves military personnel . I look at the preposterous ‘friendly fire’ that killed Pat Tillman and the delay and excuses given to his family. The exposure of our torture program by John Kiriakou who also was charged with exposing a covert officer’s identity shows a vindictive Obama/Bush administration who put American citizens on KILL lists before they did anything illegal. I recall Scooter Libby with the Bush cabinet doing the same to CIA officer Valerie Plame without charges or jail time. What about the microbiologist car chased in Los Angeles and secretively wisked away from the public eye ? Or agent Carnaby killed on a Dallas freeway before he talked. The U.S. system of justice has no moral authority to point to other countries tapping down criticism . I don’t think the author of this article knows the extent of our meddling, interference, and use of murder and incarceration to shut down people who have dirt on important programs or officials, like Mike McConnell who was one week away from testifying in the Carl Rove election fraud scheme that sent Ohio votes to a server in Virginia that rigged the election . Look up Ted Stevens or Ron Brown of the Clinton cabinet, said to have 2 bullet holes in his head amid wreckage, and many others too numerous to list here.
