A Scandal of The West\u2019s News-Suppression, to \u2018Justify\u2019 U.S.-v.-Russia War<\/a><\/h3>\n

An accountant, Sergei Magnitsky, was employed by a wealthy American investor, William Browder, and died in a Russian prison on 16 November 2006. How did it happen; who was to blame for it? The Russian Government was blamed for it, and this blame produced in 2012 the first set of economic sanctions to squeeze Vladimir Putin out of power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magnitsky\u2019s death in prison thus provided the factual basis for the first of the economic-sanctions regimens that were imposed by The West against the Russian Government, the 2012 Magnitsky Act \u2014 sanctions that preceded the 2014 sanctions which were imposed on account of Russia\u2019s response to America\u2019s February 2014 coup in Ukraine<\/span><\/a>. However, that account of the Magnitsky incident is full of lies, according to a 2016 documentary investigation into the matter. But publication of this video investigation \u2014 at youtube or anywhere \u2014 is effectively banned in The West. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Gilbert Doctorow, who is one of the extremely few people in The West who managed to see this totally-suppressed-in-The-West investigative news-documentary that was done (and which he said proved to him that the basis of the Magnitsky Act is lies) expressed his shock, at what he saw and learned from it:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

Nekrasov <\/i>[the investigator] largely allows William Browder to self-destruct under the weight of his own lies.<\/i><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

The case against Browder that Nekrasov unintentionally stumbled upon when making the film is clearly so persuasive and so massive that even some leading members of the anti-Putin coalition in Europe feel strongly that the truth must out, whatever the consequences. \u2026 <\/i>[But] lynch law necessarily operates. Human rights watchers everywhere, beware! \u2026 <\/i><\/a>Nekrasov has not been a friend, still less a \u201cstooge\u201d of the Putin regime. Indeed, as he explained at the start of his brief speech, before taking the assignment to do a film about Magnitsky. \u2026 Nekrasov had friendly relations with Bill Browder [the U.S. oligarch who was behind Magnitsky].<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
