This story is so upsetting, but it’s also upsetting that I’ve not encountered the “alternative media” covering this. I’ve contacted people who specialize in the Russia/Ukraine war but they won’t respond. I just ask basic questions along the lines of “what do you think” about this incredible atrocity against an American citizen.

Gonzalo Lira was mentioned by a few alt media figures, although totally ignored by the mainstream. Do you think this is essentially the same situation, or is there some additional factor actually suppressing any mention of Russell?

Yeah, I kind of do. The mainstream media (from what I can tell) has probably covered it a little more- actually probably quite a lot more. It’s the “alternative” media who don’t want to say a word about how diabolically evil both sides are… I ask them simple questions like what are people saying over there… they won’t respond. Nothing. I’ll ask again. Do you know the journalist Patrick Henningsen? He’s usually pretty good, but he hasn’t mentioned Russell since March 11th on “X”…

How in the world this could be IGNORED?

RS, RWA and other Russians are concerned about the invasion by central Asians and their criminal behavior. Bentley's death is part of this, but Kremlin propagandists ignore it because it goes against the 'anti-fascist, anti-racist' narrative they promote. This, by no coincidence, is exactly the same narrative parroted by lefties in the West where every time Muslims murder someone we are told not to react and that most of them are wonderful 'enrichers' of our society.

Here we have it from the mouth of Mr. Scott Ritter, a man who has excellent contacts with influential people in Russia. Towards the end of this video, from about 20 minutes he compares the central Asians in Russia to Latinos in America, an oppressed group who keep hotels functioning and food grown and distributed. He blames the CIA for assisting the Ukrainians in recruiting these Asians to cause social and political problems for Putin, like the Crocus City Hall attack. (No mention of insurance!) It's exactly what Putin has being saying!

To misquote the Bible, 'the voice is the voice of Ritter, but the words are the words of (((Putin)))'.

There's no mystery why the 'alternative' media won't mention the death of Bentley, and many other things any more than will the 'mainstream' media. The left hand and the right hand wash each other, but both serve the same (((master))).

Isn't it nice to get some good news from Russia? Via Martyanov we get the report that there has been an outbreak of honesty in the military! http://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2024/04/doubling-production.html

'In related news, oopsie--there is no hiding anymore, especially when you are a high level military bureaucrat. Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, General Timur Ivanov has been detained under the suspicion of taking a bribe (in Russian). The guy was (now "was") in charge of construction for military personnel. In other words--the most senior quartermaster of Russian Defense Ministry. Not anymore. He took, allegedly, more than one R 1 million (how much more? MORE) bribe and will now have up to 15 years in "resort" to think about his life, if his guilt will be proven, which I think it will be. Rear services of such immense force as Russian Armed Forces means access to immense financial resources and contracts dispensation, which, I speculate, what the bribe was all about--to get juicy construction contract. I am sure more arrests are coming. What the fuck this guy was thinking while having the salary about the size half of this bribe a month. I guess greed got to him big time. Most likely it is one of possibly many such episodes which will be "attached" later. The conclusion? Serve honestly...'

Yid wives are so expensive to maintain, I understand. Maybe Prigozhin would like to comment, if he was still able to do so. And what of the minister who never noticed what his deputy was up to ? 'Shoiguuuuuuuuu!!!!'

Interestingly, Russell Bentley ran for US Senate (representating Minnesota) against Paul Wellstone.

“ On October 25th, 2002 the last great hero of the common people in the US Senate was very likely murdered by agents of the shadow US crime cabal government otherwise known as the Bush-Cheney regime. ”

Thank you for this information, very interesting thing to know. Must say, yesterday I read here on substack one story from Canada, realistic one - also said, so many troubles here with those strange people. But here, killers are regular part of Shoigu's army. Horror.

I could compile a list of "alternative" media who've been covering this and ask them all what they think... simple questions... I cannot imagine being a journalist and ignoring it... some of these journalists are self employed I think but who knows...

Like second-hand smoke, second-hand communism can kill you. Lefties non-white comrades turn out to be far less ideological and far more racist and far more criminal than they want to believe.

The Kremlinoids seem to use 'anti-fascism', three generations after Fascism was destroyed, as a justification for their actions. Rather like 'antifa' in the West - and we know (((who))) controls both of them. Bjerknes may be right in suggesting that this will be the excuse used to attack the West after finishing Ukraine.

Perhaps not so coincidentally Martyanov, whom I take as an indicator of what mid level bureaucrats and officers in Russia are allowed to think, has being getting increasingly anti-western and 'anti-fascist' and recently wrote an article predicting a high level political career for a newly promoted Chechen general, whom he wants to believe is widely and wildly admired, at least by those who rule the Russian state - and by those who must take their cues from the Kremlin.

Straws in the wind.

The iridescent and pointedly sharp artist who performs with the stage name BelleDelphine, formerly a frequent poster at Zerohedge, has raged about the invasion of Russia and the especial brutalization of the young men in Russian uniform for quite a while.

Via A Skeptic we have news of Medvedev cursing the Americans for giving more aid to Ukraine:

https://askeptic.substack.com/p/war-reports-2024-04-22

'Medvedev:

No one doubted that American legislators would approve “help” to a gang of neo-Nazis. It was a vote of joyful US bastards:

a) for the continuation of the civil war of the divided people of our previously united country;

b) for maximizing the number of victims of this war.

We, of course, will win, despite the 61 billion bloody dollars that will mainly go down the throat of their insatiable military-industrial complex. Strength and Truth are behind us.

But taking into account the Russophobic decision that took place, I cannot with all sincerity help but wish the United States to plunge into a new civil war as quickly as possible. Which, I hope, will be radically different from the war between North and South in the 19th century and will be waged using aircraft, tanks, artillery, MLRS, all types of missiles and other weapons. And which will finally lead to the inglorious collapse of the vile evil empire of the 21st century - the United States of America.'

One has to wonder whether those ammunition factories in the US and Europe which recently caught fire might have had a little help from someone's friends. Also we may suppose that the civil war in the USA which he desires may receive aid from Russia, via some proxies. All the whites who support Russia and believe the 5D guys are likely to be sorely disappointed, as it seems far more likely that the 'antifascist' and 'antiracist' powers that be in Russia will aid the Muslims and chimps who are already destroying the place rather than support the white right.
