“The Kremlin has issued an extraordinary denial to the 'lies' that Vladimir Putin, 71, had 'died at his luxury Valdia forest palace' - amid claims a 'coup' was underway in Moscow.
This comes after a Telegram channel, which has claimed for months the Russian leader had cancer and was terminally ill, announced that Putin had died.
It further claimed that a 'coup' was underway in Russia as Putin's inner circle would be trying to pass off his 'body double' as the real president.
But Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state media RIA Novosti that the report was an 'absurd information canard'.
Earlier this week he had strongly denied Putin suffered a heart attack last weekend, and said reports the Russian president used a doppelganger were false. …”
Oooh, extraordinary denial. Must be something to it.
Similar things have been said about Kim Jong Un, Hillary Clinton and no doubt others. Eventually it will happen, as it happens to all of us … but not today.

I was in a local diner a few weeks ago and there's a regular there that is sort of a conspiracy theorist . He said Putin had been stabbed . Read it on the Internet , so it must be true .

Well I can’t take him like that; it’s against regulations.
I feel happy! I feel happy!
