Editor's Note: Also known as the Poison Dart Frog
You ever go to the local zoo and in a dark corner, you see a heated terrarium with a humidifier and a handful of small, brightly colored frogs inside?
Chances are, you saw the Ecuadorian (Poison) Dart Frog Display.
Now, if you're a kid, you're mesmerized by the bright colors. If you're an adult, you wonder to yourself, "is it really a good idea to have poison frogs at eye level with little kids?"
It took me about 5 seconds to find a retailer that would sell me Ecuadorian Dart Frogs online.
But if I wanted to smite my enemies, I would be out of luck, Dart Frogs raised in captivity are not poisonous. My wife doesn't buy it, she wouldn't let me buy a kit for research purposes.
An Ecuadorian Dart Frog's natural habitat is from Panama to the Amazon in Brazil. In nature, the Dart Frog is one of the most poisonous reptiles on the planet, but they need constant heat and humidity, they cannot exist much beyond a Tropical Rainforest--
What does any of this have to do with world events?
When Russian Political Prisoner Alexai Navalny died in a Siberian Prison, Vladimir Putin claimed that he had no idea what caused his death. Putin also claimed he was just about to free Navalny when he collapsed and died of multiple "natural causes," including "high blood pressure, chronic hepatitis, and a damaged vertebra."
At 47? How did he damage vertebra in a maximum security prison? Up until his death, Navalny looked like the vision of health for a Middle-Aged Russian Male.
People in the West, including Navalny's Wife, said that Navalny was murdered. Putin continued to shrug his shoulders and buried the Resistance Leader within weeks of his death. Putin did not release the body to the widow.
Not only did Putin not release Navalny's Body to his family, the Russian Government buried him at Borisov Cemetery on the outskirts of Moscow. With metal detectors and armed security guarding the grave (not kidding), the Russian Government continues to use the corpse to harass, and arrest, mourners and supporters.
If the body is in the ground, how in the world was the British Government able to determine that Poison Dart Frog venom killed Navalny?
Using speculation from Russian Telegram Channels, prisoners sympathetic to Navalny's plight smuggled vomit from Navalny, on the day he died, out of the prison some time over the past 2 years, then funneled the sample to Western Governments. The British waited until the "spy" was clear of Putin's suspicion.
Why didn't Putin use Novichok or Polonium? Because if the samples ever got out, Putin was looking for a chemical/biological agent that no one would think of testing for. Clever Putin assumed no one would be looking for Dart Frog Venom.
Christ, what are we talking about here?
You're an American and don't give a shit about what happens in Russia?
Right now, Russia is a Fascist Oligarchy. There have been over a million Russian Soldier Casualties (Dead or Injured) in the Invasion of Ukraine. Those casualties were mostly from Men-in-the-Mud, World War I-Style Warfare. Putin has re-written the Russian Constitution to fit his liking. In 2020, Dmitry Medvedev and Putin's entire cabinet resigned so Putin could consolidate power. Russia's leadership is now Putin and a bunch of "Yes Men."
When Navalny was killed, he was some of the last remaining remnants of Putin's opposition. After years of political enemies blowing themselves up, falling out of windows. and, now, being poisoned by animals found only 8,000 miles from the Motherland, Putin is in violation of yet another international law, not using chemical and/or biological agents on his own citizens.
In America, the Epstein Files are front-page news and no one, of either political party, is being arrested. Donald Trump invaded Venezuela which resulted in Zero Deaths and 4 Casualties. In 2026, ICE killed 2 people after over 20 years of operations and there are going to be trials and media scrutiny for the rest of the year.
American "Fascism" is citizens calling people from the other political parties names as the rich ruling class gets richer. Citizens fight each other and ignore the corruption at the top.
Russian Fascism is people dying and citizens afraid to speak.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court gave Donald Trump a historic loss in relation to the administration of tariffs. Did anyone die? No. Did anyone go to jail? No. We continue to see political theater as the Judicial and Legislative Branches continue to spar with the Executive Branch.
True Fascism is what killed Alexei Navalny.
A representative from the Russian Government gave this official response to the Dart Frog allegations: "Naturally, we do not accept such accusations. We disagree with them. We consider them biased and not based on anything. And we strongly reject them."
Then wanted to know where the West got the sample from. (So they can kill them).
