I said exactly the same this morning. @Navalny is an asset of the Kremlin who has performed pantomime on their behalf for years. He wasnt “poisoned” this time, he wasn’t “poisoned” the last time he made a miraculous recovery from it either. @BBCNews @CNN must know this. https://twitter.com/20committee/status/1296578256259485698

Other fake “opposition” to Putin include @pussyrrriot who also had a male member miraculously “get poisoned” and recover with zero evidence of poison. People Putin wants dead, die. It’s shameful Western newsrooms went along with this farce for years, with deleterious consequences

Because Western media entirely failed to challenge @Navalny’s serial fake attacks, they allowed the @OlegDeripaska “whistleblower” aka junior FSB agent perform pantomime against the West, with @Navalny’s willing, witting help. Zero questions to him.

No “Wow, @Navalny, it’s so unusual that Putin poisoned you yet you made a full recovery. And now after only 24 hours of “poison” you fly to Germany”. No “wow @Navalny, in all the “raids” Putin did on your offices so amazing you were never hurt in any way”

Do your jobs.

“Not difficult.
Genuine opposition get zero publicity in Russia and beyond because @BBCNews @CNN & co pretend @Navalny is the “opposition”

Furthermore last time there was a real chance against United Russia, Putin’s Party, @Navalny led a “don’t vote” campaign” - sound familiar?

UPDATE: Exactly as i said it was all pure fakery. Do your jobs on Kremlin asset @Navalny, who works for Vladimir Putin. https://twitter.com/xsovietnews/status/1296752266851110914?s=21 https://twitter.com/XSovietNews/status/1296752266851110914

“A sudden loss of blood sugar” caused @Navalny to fake moan in pain on a convenient video camera after his ENTIRELY NON-EXISTENT “poisoning” @BBCNews @DominicRaab please let us do better and not take readers for fools. https://twitter.com/xsovietnews/status/1296753510587957253?s=21 https://twitter.com/xsovietnews/status/1296753510587957253

Last update: The “activist” trying to fly @Navalny to Berlin last flew a “poisoned” member of Pussy Riot there in 2018. The New York times reported that, after claiming to be “in a coma”, Pyotr Verzilov made a full recovery ...and “no trace of poison” was found in his system

Update: thanks for that, @Maddow

Funny, “poison diminishing” and becoming “impossible to identify” doesn’t seem very compatible with “fighting for his life”
“In a coma” and “on a ventilator”.

Nor was this an issue with the Skripals, Dawn Sturgess or Litvinenko

“Mr. Bizilj, who in 2018 arranged the transfer of a member of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot ... stressed that the German doctors were not toxicologists and did not give any assessment of what had caused Mr. Navalny’s illness.”

Do your jobs, news “reporters”.
