i want to show you a picture of a crime scene. one of the most ominous crime scene images i have seen in a long time. that is the body of former deputy prime minister boris nebstoff. during the reign of vladimir putin one of the most prominent and outspoken leaders in russia. he had given a radio interview hours before he was gunned down. he called for honest elections and deemed putin a pathological liar. he said i m afraid putin will kill me. he was reportedly shot multiple times in the back as he walked across a bridge with his girlfriend. he was slain in the heart of moscow, steps from red square, and just 200 yards, 600 feet, from the walls of the kremlin itself. that is an area that is exceedingly well monitored. plenty of security cameras that
