Vladimir Kara-Murza Is A Foreign Agent Who Unquestionably Committed Treason

Kara-Murza wasn’t a genuine “opposition activist” nor will he spend the next quarter-century behind bars just because he exercised so-called “free speech” since he was really a foreign intelligence agent who committed treason under those two covers. His collusion with US Government-funded organizations and public lobbying in support of maximum sanctions against his compatriots would never be tolerated by the US if he was an American who did that while working with Russian Government-funded groups.

The US-led West’s Mainstream Media (MSM) is apoplectic over the 25-year sentence that was just handed down on Monday by the Moscow City Court to Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian citizen who unquestionably committed treason under the guise of being a so-called “opposition activist”. They’re making a big deal about how one of the charges concerned the dissemination of false information about the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) in order to distract from the other two much more damning ones.

These concern high treason and cooperating with an undesirable organization, the latter of which involved groups funded by the US Government. Kara-Murza also publicly lobbied against his compatriots’ objective economic interests by demanding maximum sanctions against Russia. By the US’ own legal standards per its “Foreign Agents Registration Act” (FARA), he’d definitely be guilty of functioning as a foreign agent at the very least and as an intelligence asset at worst, both of which are jailable offenses.

The treason aspect of his case involves his cooperation with those aforesaid organizations and public lobbying efforts against his country’s objective economic interests. While the definition might differ depending on the legal standards in any given country, the moral consensus across the world is that it’s indeed treasonous to work with organizations funded by an unfriendly government while lobbying for the world to impose crushing economic sanctions against one’s own people.

Those critics among the MSM who obsess over his offense regarding the dissemination of false information about the RAF are doing so for the purpose of distracting their targeted audience from the rest of what he did, which was only discovered after he was detained on the first-mentioned charge a year ago. The subsequent investigation revealed the full extent of the crimes that he committed, hence the strict sentence handed down to him as a deterrent against others following in his footsteps.

Kara-Murza wasn’t a genuine “opposition activist” nor will he spend the next quarter-century behind bars just because he exercised so-called “free speech” since he was really a foreign intelligence agent who committed treason under those two covers. His collusion with US Government-funded organizations and public lobbying in support of maximum sanctions against his compatriots would never be tolerated by the US if he was an American who did that while working with Russian Government-funded groups.

He'd at the very least be arrested for failing to register as a foreign agent under FARA, after which the resultant investigation would probably also discover that he was operating as an agent of Russian intelligence, thus likely leading to him receiving a similar sentence in that scenario. There shouldn’t be any double standards when it comes to enforcing a state’s legitimate national security interests, hence why Kara-Murza deserves derision instead of being praised by the MSM as a “Russian Mandela”.
