Comment: As the article below says, it took 4 months for U.S. officials to make public the details of Lesin's death. However, even now, details remain murky. After initially calling the investigation "criminal" in nature, State Dept. spokesman John Kirby corrected himself, simply stating the investigation is "ongoing". White House press secretary Josh Earnest vaguely said Friday that he believes the FBI might have been involved in the investigation, but didn't clarify his statement.
The Russian "media mogul", co-founder of RT, former minister, and a Putin ally Mikhail Lesin was found dead in his room at the Dupont Circle Hotel in Washington, D.C. on the morning of November 5th last year. Emergency medical staff was alerted to the scene, but the D.C. Fire and EMS found no signs consistent with life. It was initially reported by "family members", most likely Lesin's son and daughter living in Los Angeles, that Lesin had died of a heart attack. The death caused wide scale speculation, both in Russia and the West, that the death had been murder.
The Russian foreign ministry says the US has not given it any substantive information on the death, even though they have repeatedly requested information through diplomatic channels. Yesterday it was confirmed by the medical examiner that Lesin had died of "blunt force injuries of the head," as well as "blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities, lower extremities."
There is reason to suspect Mikhail Lesin may have died while being interrogated by the FBI.
Comment: Just another historically incorrect rewrite? If so, what was the leverage to compel McGraw-Hill to even consider the problem, let alone completely capitulate to demands within a week's time? This short duration suggests "instantaneous" work by its 'academic experts' (think Zionists) or it was bypassed completely. And, what kind of fire was lit under McGraw-Hill to destroy ALL books within the week? How does a big publishing house even get this kind of financial and publishing ramifications through internal channels in less than seven days with the original authors onboard? Big power and big threats would be the guess.
And then there was puppet company MSNBC's mea culpa. Was it a "mistake?" Or did MSNBC "cave?" Or was it a set-up in order to make a public correction and plant purposefully-skewed Zionist propaganda. Israel has been coming under global scrutiny for its ethnic cleansing and expansion program into Palestinian-held territories. It has to continually maneuver the facts to match its narrative, absolving all guilt and blame. (...OK, you're right, they don't do guilt.)
