RT — Anti-Russian sanctions based on fraudster’s tales? Spiegel finds Magnitsky narrative fed to West by Browder is riddled with lies

British*investor Bill Browder has made a name for himself in the West through blaming Moscow for the death of his auditor, Sergey Magnitsky. Der Spiegel has picked apart his story and uncovers it has major credibility problems.
* Bill Browder is an American-born ex-pat living in London. He gave up his American citizenship for British.

Craig Murray — The Magnitskiy Myth Exploded

The conscientious judges of the European Court of Human Rights published a judgement a fortnight ago which utterly exploded the version of events promulgated by Western governments and media in the case of the late Mr Magnitskiy. Yet I can find no truthful report of the judgement in the mainstream media at all.
The Magnitsky Hoax has been a major card played in imposing sanctions on Russia.

Note that the discrepancy in spelling between Magnitskiy and Magnitsky is owing to difference in transliteration from Cyrillic to Roman script, similar to Sergei and Sergey.

Epstein is no Different than Magnitsky — Martin Armstrong

This is what struck me immediately on learning of Epstein's "passing," the near certainty of which I had mentioned to a friend several days before. He asked me, "Do you mean he will be 'suicided?"

Of course, this remains just a hypothesis based on a suspicion that is based on "cui bono?" The truth of the matter will likely never be established to the satisfaction of all. Even if it is "established through evidence" in an investigation, the result won't be universally accepted, for good reasons based on previous investigations. Then the dissenters will be called conspiracy theorists. What else is new?

But I would say that there is a fundamental difference between the two cases in terms of cui bono, which you will recognize if you have been following the Magnitsky-Browder affair.

Elias Hazou — The Magnitsky affair: the confession of a hustled hack

Before getting down to brass tacks, let me say that I loathe penning articles like this; loathe writing about myself or in the first person, because a reporter should report the news, not be the news. Yet I grudgingly make this exception because, ironically, it happens to be newsworthy. To cut to the chase, it concerns Anglo-American financier Bill Browder and the Sergei Magnitsky affair. I, like others in the news business I’d venture to guess, feel led astray by Browder.
This is no excuse. I didn’t do my due diligence, and take full responsibility for erroneous information printed under my name. For that, I apologize to readers. I refer to two articles of mine published in a Cypriot publication, dated December 25, 2015 and January 6, 2016....
The truth is seeping out.

Martin Armstrong — Why Has the Magnitsky Film Been Banned in USA & Europe?


Inquiring minds want to know. Martin Armstrong zeros in. This is not about Magnitksy's death, which even his family agrees was not the result of the Russian government, or even Bill Browder's machinations. It's too pervasive not to be state sponsored. Armstrong suggests why. It's quite possible that Vladimir Putin explained this to Donald Trump privately, but the president is too boxed in to use the information publicly. High intrigue, indeed, and at the state level, if Armstrong is even remotely in the ball park.

In my view, MA is biased against the left as while, to which he attributes the "sins" of socialism, and he tends to accentuate what confirms his view. Conversely, he tends to overlook the "sins" of the right in the direction of fascism. At the same time, he makes many relevant points and is often in a position to report from the inside, for example, in the Magnitsky affair, having been an investor in Hermitage Capital.

I definitely agree that Donald Trump is a symptom rather than a cause and that is social and political dynamic, exacerbated by economic inequality, has a way to run. It is becoming not only increasingly divisive but also alarmingly so.

Martin Armstrong — Magnitsky Act is Back

Apparently, when the film first appeared, there were only 46 views. After our post, it exceeded 20,000. It was then pulled, of course. Here is the new link. Let’s see how long this one will last.

Robert Parry — Guardians of the Magnitsky Myth

In pursuit of Russia-gate, the U.S. mainstream media embraces any attack on Russia and works to ensure that Americans don’t hear the other side of the story, as with the Magnitsky myth, reports Robert Parry....
