This assassination attempt has the CIA all over it. Stray from the EU & NATO narrative, watch out. Hopefully Fico recovers.

Their wayward proxy Budanov often uses rather confused fall guys and girls.

..And he's pretty pissed right now...

The CIA has no interest in amping up already existing pro-Russian feelings in Slovakia. Think about who benefits from the shooting.

A sharp message to Orban. And Poland's PiS party.

I'm sure it "caught their attention!". What a world!

The first reports of the Slovak shooter's activities and membership in various groups seems contradictory and confusing. Maybe he was a troubled individual and influenced by a foreign intelligence service to target Fico (pronounced "Fit-so"). In any case, in this part of Europe there is very polarizing, manipulative and hateful rhetoric against "illiberal democratic-backsliding authoritarian xenophobic homophobic racist populists", as some like Fico and Orban have been labelled. That creates a social environment where extreme acts like this are more likely.

Conflicted to say the least. Yesterday I saw statements from the Pro-Russian paramilitary org denying he had any affiliation with them ever; time will tell. Somehow "radicalized uber-liberal" doesn't seem to comport with "pro-Russian " values...something smells fishy. The "Progressive Slovakia" opposition party is known for being anti-Russia, pro-NATO/USA/EU/UK, pro-LGBT, and pro-neo-liberal capitalism. Undoubtedly many Western governments and oligarchs have funded the growth of this particular political party and its militant supporters.

It is perhaps just that kind of confused individual who might be somehow influenced by an intelligence agency to do the deed, or it could be he simply acted on his own.

Here is part of his statement after his arrest

They'll check his phone, but I guess the GUR uses burners now.

At first I wondered if the hitman was Tajik.

At first glance, this seems to be an act of an individual, with no conspiracy behind it. However, I have a feeling that questions will continue to be raised for a long time.

Let's wait and see. The shooter is alive and talking.

It doesn't come as a surprise. If you look at the leftist elite they create a enviroment of violence towards everyone that doesn't agree with their agenda. They did it to Poland and Hungary. Now EU politicians are stirring up Georgia. In The Netherlands we have a new right wing government and the left and media is already setting the stage towards hate and violence. Scholers are saying it won't change because the deep state will work against them. So they are openly saying that democracy is death. All we have is a vote but it doesn't matter who we vote for. The elite, deep state and media will make sure nothing will change. No wonder the governmental approval rating are less than 50% in the west. Even when 'the bad guys' win elections our governments are just puppets of supranational institutions as the WHO, WEF, NGO's,... Yes the grass is always greener on thhe other side but you start to think you can enjoy more freedom in Russia, just don't interfere with politics and you will be fine.

Oh, all new cars sold in the EU have to go beep beep with you drive to fast. It's just the first step to take control of your car, now it's a beep, next it will take control of your speed. Step by step the infringe your personal live and behaviour. Or the whole Ukraine saga, it's so synical, they are pure evil.

I read that article also; while at one time they were extreme right wing and ide3ntified with nazism they appear to have reformed their views and denounce nazism. They underwent an evolution of sorts and indeed trained outside of Moscow at some point and became "pan-slavic".They are still considered right wing but area all over the political map in terms of picking causes. They are lately deemed anti-russian after the SMO began..it reminded them of the Russian incursion that put down the Czech Spring revolt in the 60's. I saw a photo with him with a few members holding their flag...he was looking upwards and his companions straight ahead...seemed photo-shopped but certainly not provable. The immediate denial of his affiliation by the group is also understandable...maybe he belonged and maybe not, but still doesn't comport with radicalized liberal philosophy.

The whole thing reminds me of the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. or Medgar Evers.

Lone gunman, plausible deniability, combined with a strong pressure not to poke around too much.

The wife of a certain Juraj Tsintula, who shot Robert Fico, has been arrested. His wife is a refugee from Ukraine and a pro-Maidan activist. (source: GEROMON X account)

The plot thickens

I will ask for more about this.

The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr..comes to mind.

Or Aldo Moro, closer to home, which the CIA piously denied any involvement in.....

"All the more so, because Slovak society is quite pro-Russian. Let’s not forget that Bratislava still celebrates the occupation of the Slovak capital by Soviet troops during the Second World War."

You mean the liberation of it from the Nazis who were killing Slovaks, thereby liberating it also from the American bombing that was also killing Slovaks...? Odd way to remember the defeat of the Nazi degenerates and their being driven from Slovakia.

There seems to me to be the apparent connection: Ukraine is a state that like the Baltics is filled with Nazis in spite of most people there having fought against them (and in Ukraine's case such people being mocked openly and widely prior to the Americans' Maidan colour revolution); Fico wants to stop giving what belongs to Slovaks to the former male stripper Clown Prince Zelensky's Ukrainian rump reich that the globalists are determined to depopulate and turn from breadbasket of Europe into a chemical-radioactive waste dumping ground as they've already started using it as; Cintula supports a Nazi paramilitary group using HJ symbolism.

"The assassination attempt on Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico is appalling. We strongly condemn this act of violence against our neighboring partner state's head of government. Every effort should be made to ensure that violence does not become the norm in any country, form, or sphere", Zelenskyy wrote.

He expressed Ukraine's solidarity with the people of Slovakia and hope for Robert Fico's swift recovery.

Hmmmm.....

It is hard to make sense of this situation. Unfortunately, much is made of media reports coming out within minutes of the event. Chances are excellent that everyone quoted in this article has an agenda.
