FSB: At It Again-Will Alexei Survive

      So, the opposition leader flies well east into Siberia to help with local politicians and their efforts to overcome the Kremlin's choice candidate.   After a brief visit, Mr. Navalny went to the airport to catch a return flight to Moskova.   After having a cup of tea at the airport, he boarded his flight and the plane lifted off for the west.  Shortly after reaching cruising altitude, Mr. Navalny became violently ill.   An on board emergency was declared and the plane was cleared to land at the city airport in Omsk.   It was met by an ambulance and a crew and he was ruched to the E.R. at the local hospital.
       His assistant who traveled with him notified his support group and his family.  His condition became grave and he was unconscious.   His supporters did not want him left at Omsk for treatment, and immediately pursued a transfer to a hospital in Germany.  After much delay and confrontations with the medical facility staff doctors, Mr. Navalny was released and a flight was arranged to carry the patient/victim to an awaiting hospital in Germany.   Minister Angela Merkel issued a statement that Mr. Navalny will receive the best available care and his condition was said to be stable, although he is still unconscious and cause has not been determined.  A poisoning has not been ruled out.
      Does all this sound familiar?  Yes, too familiar.  The world beyond Moscova and its FSB headquarters has treated the international community to one poisoning after another over the years.  Many have been on foreign soil, and many at home.   The common theme: all the victims have been opposition leaders against the Putin Regime.
