James Angleton (Former chief of counter-intelligence at the CIA) "It's my firm conviction that the existence of the Department of Disinformation has had much to do with a disarray of what I would call unity in the West. I would also say it is perhaps least understood by the intelligence services and by their masters. And I speak from there from prime ministers down, and particularly secretaries of state, because it deals with gaining the objectives short of nuclear war. And it presents to the West by the various themes that it promulgates, what I call a wilderness of mirrors. They can have you believe whatever they desire you to believe. And if you have, as they do, control over both, not both, but all forms of communication with the West, whether it be the media, diplomats, tourists, students, culture, all playing the same theme. That becomes a very convincing conglomerate of information to a man who's attempting to do an overall evaluation."

Tulsi Gabbard pictured at the "Rage Against the War Machine" rally in DC (Feb 2023). The rally "demands" were typical Kremlin fare. Along with abandoning 🇺🇦 and freeing Assange, the other demands were the types of ideas communist front groups have promoted for decades. (1/?)

And here is Tara Reade speaking at this same CPI meeting in summer of 2022. She chants "Z" and says, "I stand with Russia. I stand with China." Tara Reade defected to Moscow less than a year later. (4/?)

Helali is the High Bailiff of Orange County, Vermont. He brought Mohsen Mahdawi here for his immigration interview. Vermont politicians should think about this.
🚨 ICYMI: American Communist Party’s Christopher Helali says the FBI added him to the No Fly List. He says he was denied boarding in China because his flight to Mexico crossed U.S. airspace. Helali was heading to Tijuana to cover the World Cup and interview Iran’s FIFA team.

John Kiriakou has been paid on-air talent for Russian state media since 2017 and currently fronts RT's "The Deep State." Today, Tucker Carlson published a 1h 41m interview with him: Here's the laundering chain (so far):

Look, I’ll save you the headache. Kiriakou was known for two things *before* he unmasked an undercover CIA officer, went to prison for doing so, got out, and then went to work for the Russians. When he was stationed in Greece, he illegally parked his car at the port in Piraeus next to the ferry boarding area. The police told him to move it. Kiriakou locked himself inside and refused to get out of his car and said he didn’t have to, he was from the U.S. Embassy. Caused an unnecessary diplomatic stink over a fucking parking violation, which became notorious in the building — although not nearly as notorious as what else happened to him in Greece. His wife had an affair. When Kiriakou found out about it, he behaved in a manner unbefitting of any officer of any clandestine service, except maybe Russia’s, which is why he’s a good fit for them now. As he’ll be the first to tell you, he’s got bills to pay. Big on the IRGC-aligned podcast bro circuit but knows nothing, is aggressive in his ignorance, and generally held to be a laughingstock at his former organization. I believe the kiddos call this being a “whistleblower,” which is even more hilarious. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
John Kiriakou is the perfect hire for Russian state media (or any nation with a vested interest in demoralizing the United States through targeted internal propaganda). Here’s why: 1. He has the credential of “former CIA officer” under his belt. That means something to American viewers. Military or government service, in general, goes a long way toward establishing legitimacy and trust. 2. He clearly has a long-standing grudge against the United States. He was charged with leaking the identity of a covert operative and was imprisoned for several years. He also lost his standing within the American political establishment as a result. The story he tells about the case is one in which he is, of course, the Snowden-adjacent hero. Again, this strikes at the heart of disgruntled Americans who have firsthand experience with government corruption. 3. He lacks principle. He’s willing to accuse the U.S. government of corruption (hey, fair enough) while, ironically, happily accepting paychecks from the Russian government, one of the most corrupt governments in modern history and a sworn adversary of the United States. He rails against the U.S. and its alleged covert torture program (and he may be right about that, for argument’s sake), yet aligns himself with a regime that has openly and brutally tortured innocent people for generations. His excuse? They let him “say whatever he wants.” Either John is an idiot (he’s not), or he’s in on the operation. There’s only one reason the Russian government would hire him: to convince Americans to hate America. And what better salesman for that cause than a disgruntled former government agent with no sense of honor? This is precisely why Russian state media has also cozied up to figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Whether these influencers are selling out for clicks, money, ideology, or something in between, the end result is the same: convincing millions of Americans that the only solution left is to abandon America and burn it to the ground. Who, I wonder, might benefit from such an outcome?

There is rising awareness that Roger Stone wants Tulsi Gabbard to be POTUS. But guess who else said that, back in February 2023? It was Caleb Maupin, a pro-🇰🇵🇨🇳🇷🇺 communist.

You've probably already heard of the “shadow fleet”: aging tankers carrying sanctioned Russian oil to foreign destinations and providing a crucial economic lifeline for Moscow. But what's actually happening on board? Together with @dossier_center, @FTM_eu, @DelfiEE and other partners, we identified and spoke with several of Russia's so-called "watchmen" — military veterans and former mercenaries who are embedded in the ships’ foreign crews.

NEW: U.K. targets $68M in London properties owned by Yuan Yihua, China-born man who holds so-called “golden passports” issued in return for investments in Cyprus, Cambodia and Vanuatu. According to documents from the U.K. land registry, Yuan Yihua purchased at least 14 properties across London between June 2021 and January 2025, including a $32-million mansion in the affluent St Johns Wood neighborhood. occrp.org/en/news/uk-targets…

From "the American left's most fearless political commentator" to "bomb-throwing media-critic", these days Glenn visits often Carlson's show (between 2017-2021 he was a guest 40 times) and shares content by figures like Jack Posobiec, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. 24/24

Tulsi's stunt yesterday was an IO to try to kill this bill.
🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

As I said... This is not pure idiocy, useful or otherwise. This is intentional abuse of power and, in fact, falsifications, all in furtherance of the interests of a foreign adversary.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

"America First" is currently a Russian captured movement. RT even has an America First show that platforms third worldist scum like Jake Shields. The Russian aligned third worldists are splitting with MAGA over pro Russia positions like antiwar isolationism etc.
The Russians see the defectors from Trump’s movement — Owens, MTG, Massie and Carlson — as a political insurgency worth cultivating because rapprochement with the U.S. has failed and Ukraine is not only surviving but thriving. Even Vance, Russia’s best hope for 2028, is looking a busted flush as Rubio’s popularity rises. Expect to see more of this realignment, with Malofeev financing. They’ll position this as the authentic MAGA, even though it only serves a hostile foreign adversary’s interests.

That time (two weeks ago) that @GenFlynn suggested NATO is not our ally and heavily implied that BRICS are our true allies. "I don't want to lose them because of one President [Trump]." He then echoed the words of Dugin and CCP Jiang: "We have to live in a planet that has become much more multipolar." He is telling us whose side he is really on. It's best to listen to him.
