The Gaddafi Viagra rapes.

The Las Vegas shooting.

The Skripal “poisoning.”

Ever notice how some stories explode onto the news wires and then—when the official story is exposed as a pack of lies—they just…disappear? Funny how that happens, huh? Well, add another example to the list: the curious case of Arkady Babchenko, better known as “Who’s that?”

Arkady Babchenko is the so-called “journalist” who recently faked his own death in order to prove that the Russians are trying to kill him . . . or something like that. And if everything had gone according to plan, you can bet your bottom dollar that you would know his name by now.

“Babchenko” would be a rallying cry for Russiagate tinfoil hatters of all stripes, having been plastered all over the front page of the newspapers, endlessly discussed on the 24/7 cable news networks, and tweeted ad nauseam by the Twitterati. It would be deployed as a one-word rejoinder to anyone who dares question the neo-neocons and their neo-Cold War propaganda crusade against the neo-“Russian threat.”

But everything did not go according to plan.

Learn more about the strange story of Arkady Babchenko’s staged death and how you, too, can convince the world that Putin killed you (with a little help from your security service friends) in this week’s edition of The Corbett Report Subscriber.
