Did Putin really poop himself? How an influential Telegram account is spreading wild, unproven claims about the Kremlin's inner workings [On "General SVR"]
Business Insider ^ | January 1, 2023 | Mia Jankowicz

In early December, a sensational story ripped through the tabloid press: President Vladimir Putin had stumbled and fallen down the stairs, involuntarily soiling himself in the process.

It proved an irresistible tale for a Western audience largely horrified by Putin's invasion of Ukraine and hungry for his ultimate demise.

The claims were covered in The Sun, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, Gawker, and Newsweek, among others. They attributed them to a single, anonymous source: the mysterious Telegram account known as General SVR.

The channel is a striking example of the wild media ecosystem that has boomed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Gruesome videos and eye-catching claims abound, reaching vast audiences often with little evidence or context. Some inevitably spills over into established media reporting.

General SVR emerged in 2020, claiming to be run by former and current members of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, or SVR, as well as other state bodies.

In a statement to Insider, a spokesperson for General SVR declined to identify the account's sources, citing personal security, but said it has "complete confidence" in them...

The spy who made up the Trump Dossier for the DNC must be making another one on Putin for our Beltway money laundering institutions.

How do you know it is a lie?

It does not get censored.

It is what the left always do, accuse the enemy of what you yourself are doing.

In this case, it is Biden who is chronically pooping his pants, so lets accuse Putin of doing the same thing. Muddy the waters and all that, so the stupid American public gets confused as to who has the stinky pants.

It’s on Telegram, which is not a platform banned in Russia. They *tried* banning the platform in 2018, but then removed the ban in 2020 when their efforts to quash it failed.

You’re basically asking the equivalent of why the Russian government hasn’t censored a specific Youtube channel which they do not control and may not be in their jurisdiction.

(Besides, the Russians may think it’s worth keeping around for the sheer comedy value; “How many times will the Westerners think Putin’s gonna die? Let’s see if they’ll go for one more!”)

It was Biden who pooped — in his hour and a half private meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.

Biden came out of the meeting with a slightly different blue colored suit than the one he went in with.

Not hard to verify with press photos.

One of the best ways to obscure the truth is to create a cloud of lies so dense and so pervasive that when people finally encounter a truth they refuse to believe it.

In other words, this General SVR may itself be a designated disinformation channel or else someone may be feeding him disinformation in the hopes that he will spread it for him.

In other news, the battleship USS Kentucky arrived in Vladivostok for a friendly visit.

Then you might want to tell marcusmaximus to stop clogging FR with so many articles that do nothing but regurgitate General SVR’s hyperbolic sensationalism.

Here is Michael Matt challenging the public narrative on Putin. Instead of falling prey to the mind set of the propagandists, Michael does a video - his own thinking-out-loud analysis of Putin. If you have a discerning mind, you should be doing likewise. Things may not be all they seem. Then ask yourself, just what is the world’s fascination with the geography known as Ukraine?

Quick… replace him with a Zelensky puppet like Obama and co did. How about a black female lesbian who can dance with zelensky in the piles of weekly taxpayer dollars. You’re going to love the new guy.. she/them/they will use underpaid ;) Russians to extract every gram of natural resources. Just like astan. They won’t even have to pay market value and congressional families n friends will be dancing too,

Putin couldn’t poop himself because he is already dead - he has died 99 times or so since the Ukraine War started.

They say that no one has ever seen the president so furious. #Putin steals and morally decomposes. The leadership of the FSB is to blame, not because they didn’t stop it but because they didn’t keep a secret that is more important than the state one.
