The CIA and other US intelligence agencies have determined that the Russian authorities weren’t involved in the death of opposition figure Alexey Navalny, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Navalny, who had been serving a lengthy prison sentence stemming from his violations of the terms of a previous fraud conviction and his “extremist activities,” died at a penal colony in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region in northern Russia on February 16.
The Russian prison authorities insist that there was no foul play in the passing of the anti-corruption activist. They said that the 47-year-old suddenly fell ill after a walk and collapsed, and that efforts to resuscitate him were in vain. According to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), which Navalny used to head, the death certificate provided to his mother stated he had died of natural causes.
However, some Western leaders and the FBK insisted that Russian authorities were behind the activist’s passing. “Make no mistake. [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death,” US President Joe Biden said at the time, without providing any proof of his claim.

Two months ago, Western Client Media went into meltdown suggesting Vladimir Putin had "Murdered" Alexey Navalny.
Now, they openly accept that they were lying.
You can't trust them.
This is what "extremists" like Ron Paul and Tucker Carlson have been warning us all along. Sure hate to say I told you so...

Indeed, many of us said that the death of Alexey Navalny was more harmful than useful for Putin and I really don't believe that he would have given such an order, our media immediately turned against him, exploiting Navalny's death for their propaganda,

The Ukrainian intelligence head Kyrylo Budanov told the world soon after Nevalny’s death, it was from natural causes. However this information was omitted for this article. Seems US press freedom is on a tight leash.
@SelfishJurisdiction1mo1MO
Even though Budanov says wrong things too.. like Putin had cancer a couple of years ago
I think in any case though that Putin would have had no good reason to kill him
and would have been foolish to order his death
And yes.. the WSJ covers a lot of stuff up not that hard with all of its resources to search around and yes... even info comes from the Ukrainian media itself
A small reminder of who Alexei Navalny truly was, before Western media portray him as a saintly martyr for democratic/liberal values.
In reality, Navalny was a minor Russian neo-Nazi who in the early 2000s filmed low-budget racist video clips equating Muslims to cockroaches that needed to be eradicated with legal firearms.
Somewhere between filming extremist videos and participating in nationalist marches (back when they were still legal in Russia), he caught the attention of the CIA and MI6 for his destructive potential in Russia.
If Putin wanted Navalny to live he would be alive.
So what is the real question? How well did he deflect?
Biden said Putin killed Navalny and used it as a reason to sanction Russia again. Now they quietly admit he lied. Will Biden apologize or address this lie? Nope.
@Supr3meCourtBobPatriot1mo1MO
Our so called intelligence agencies should be focused on the domestic terrorism and disruption Soros, his son, the Squad, and progressives are causing rather than trying to assess Putin's role...and, by the way, they're probably trying to whitewash Putin's roll in Navalny's death. Next, they'll claim Putin had nothing to do with Prigozhin's assassination last year.
