Recorded on November 25, 2024 In this episode we focus on foreign policy and geopolitical prospects under Trump 2.0 (Trimp if you prefer). We discuss a recent interview with Alexander Dugin and Dimitri Simes, with a focus on Dugin calling for complete Russian control of Ukraine before proclaiming that Russia has the ability to foment mass chaos on a religious scale in the Middle East if it feels necessary to. We then tie Dugin's comments into Trump's Zionist Organization of America foreign policy Dream Team, which includes apocalyptic Christian Zionists such as Mike Huckabee and Pete Hegseth, and the possible magnitude of the dangers that come from all of this. We open with some thoughts and discussion on the John f Kennedy assassination, since we missed talking about it when we recorded on November 22nd, the 61st anniversary of the assassination. https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/cc9DFNWAGZJV/https://www.timesofisrael.com/yitzhak-shamir-why-we-killed-lord-moyne/https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA047231.pdfhttps://www.richardsilverstein.com/2016/10/11/israels-stern-gang-mailed-letter-bomb-white-house-president-truman/https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1955-57v14/ch1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affairhttps://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/essays/rokach.htmlhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/the-russian-mole-and-the-fight-for-the-promised-land/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Newmanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_WMcCordJr.https://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2023/05/john-newmans-uncovering-popovs-mo.htmlhttps://www.kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/uncovering-popov-s-molehttps://www.exposetheenemy.com/israel#IsraeliTechDominationhttps://www.exposetheenemy.com/israel#IntelligenceAndHighTechInitiativeshttps://ordoabchao.ca/volume-five/sacred-geopoliticshttps://www.exposetheenemy.com/israel-russiahttps://ordoabchao.ca/volume-sixhttps://x.com/jeremywrk/status/1856528475013660945https://x.com/jeremywrk/status/1856521735706681698https://x.com/jeremywrk/status/1857169355424792891https://x.com/jeremywrk/status/1718362099569545402https://x.com/jeremywrk/status/1860526983773392980https://freepress.org/article/convicted-trumputin-consigliere-paul-manafort-linked-ohios-stolen-2004-electionhttps://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/election-watchdog-group-supports-call-for-independent-investigation-into-ukraine-election-results-yanukovich-campaign-team-tied-to-election-rigging-allegations-in-united-states-84466277.htmlhttps://cavdef.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Connell https://nationalinterest.org/profile/dimitri-k-simeshttps://www.reuters.com/legal/us-charges-russian-tv-contributor-dimitri-simes-with-sanctions-violations-2024-09-05/https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/collusion-reading-diary-what-did-senate-intelligence-committee-findhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Voughthttps://www.propublica.org/article/video-donald-trump-russ-vought-center-renewing-america-maga --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-antedote/support

Last month, the FBI raided the homes of Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of American foreign policy, and Dimitri Simes, a former think tank executive and an adviser to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. In late August, The New York Times reported that these searches were part of the U.S. Justice Department's “broad criminal investigation into Americans who have worked with Russia's state television networks.” In the past two weeks, U.S. officials have taken numerous measures against Russia Today and its affiliates and accelerated police actions against Russia-based individuals and entities accused of covert influence operations, including money laundering, sanctions violations, and unregistered foreign agent work. For example, the Justice Department announced the seizure of 32 Internet domains used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns (colloquially referred to as “Doppelganger”), alleging that Russian companies used online domains to impersonate legitimate news entities and unique media brands to spread Russian government propaganda covertly, violating U.S. laws against money laundering and trademarks.  That same day, the Justice Department indicted two Russia-based employees of RT for conspiring to commit money laundering and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act in a $10-million scheme to fund and direct a Tennessee-based company to publish and disseminate information “with hidden Russian-government messaging.” A day later, officials charged Dmitri Simes and his wife with participating in a plot to violate U.S. sanctions and launder money obtained from Russian state television. About a week later, the U.S. State Department issued a special “alert to the world,” declaring that new information obtained over the past year reveals that Russia Today has “moved beyond being simply a media outlet” and has become “an entity with cyber capabilities” that's “also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement.” Washington claims that the Russian government embedded within RT in Spring 2023 an entity “with cyber operational capabilities and ties to Russian intelligence.” Based on these allegations, Meta — the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — soon announced that it had banned Russia Today and its affiliates from all its platforms.  A day before that big announcement from the State Department, a jury in Tampa, Florida, convicted four American citizens of conspiracy to act as agents of the Russian government. Case evidence first reported by RFE/RL shows that the activists on trial secretly coordinated their activities and received funding from “Anti-Globalization Movement” head Alexander Ionov, who acted on orders from Russia's Federal Security Service. To discuss this recent explosion of American police and diplomatic activity targeting RT and Russian covert influence operations in the U.S., The Naked Pravda spoke to RFE/RL journalist Mike Eckel, who coauthored the September 6 report on how Ionov and his FSB handlers “chatted and plotted to sow discord in the United States.” Timestamps for this episode: (5:54) The U.S. government's coordinated campaign against Russian covert influence operations (7:18) Legal strategies when prosecuting Moscow's malign activities (8:37) Alexander Ionov and the FSB (15:11) American activists and Russian covert operations (18:52) “Foreign agency” in the U.S. vs. in Russia (32:12) Dmitri Simes and Channel One (36:18) Scott Ritter and Russia TodayКак поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно

Guess who finally decided to do their job! The Department of Justice dropped indictments on a sweeping Russian disinformation criminal ring, funding MAGA social media-stormtroops calling for the violent overthrow of our democracy to establish a Russian-style dictatorship and abandoning Ukraine to Russia, where it would be genocided. As Gaslit Nation has long warned: If it sounds like a Kremlin shill, it's a Kremlin shill. Fortunately for the DOJ, Russian-backed MAGA traitors in Congress confessed to being unregistered foreign agents by deliberately blocking Ukraine aid for six months, giving Russia the advantage in a dangerous invasion threatening all of Europe.

WINDER, Ga. (AP) — The 14-year-old accused of fatally shooting four people at his high school in Georgia is expected to make his first court appearance. It comes a day after his father was also arrested for allowing his son to have a weapon. According to arrest warrants obtained by The Associated Press, Colt Gray is accused of using a semiautomatic assault-style rifle to kill two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder. Nine people were also hurt in Wednesday’s attack. Authorities have not offered any motive or explained how Gray obtained the gun or got it into the school. The director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the teen’s father was charged Thursday in connection with the shooting, including with counts of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder.

Dimitri Simes has been in the thick of United States-Russia relations for the past five decades. Born in Moscow, he arrived in Washington in the 1970s and never left. He has advised US Presidents Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Simes says relations will not “reset” between the two countries unless they compromise on Ukraine, which both consider part of their “backyard”. Until then, they can only talk about cooperating on climate change and nuclear proliferation.

This Section describes the principal links between the Trump Campaign and individuals with ties to the Russian government, including some contacts with Campaign officials or associates that have been publicly reported to involve Russian contacts. The Office investigated whether those contacts constituted a third avenue of attempted Russian interference with or influence on the 2016 presidential election. In particular, the investigation examined whether these contacts involved or resulted in coordination or a conspiracy with the Trump Campaign and Russia, including with respect to Russia providing assistance to the Campaign in exchange for any sort of favorable treatment in the future. Based on the available information, the investigation did not establish such coordination. Each subsection begins with an overview of the Russian contact at issue and then describes in detail the relevant facts, which are generally presented in chronological order, beginning with the early months of the Campaign and extending through the post-election, transition period.

Evelyn Farkas, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, and Dimitri Simes, CEO and President of The Center for the National Interest, join Christiane Amanpour to discuss the start of Trump's impeachment trial in the senate as the President readies himself for the World Economic Forum in Davos. Simes and Farkas dig down into U.S. relations with Russia and the rest of the world. Steve Inskeep, NPR host, discusses his new book "Imperfect Union," that tells the story of America's first political power couple, John and Jessie Fremont. In 1856 John was the first ever Republican nominee for president and the campaign was dominated by immigration, race, and political demagoguery. Inskeep reflects on the parallels with today's politics. Sarah Hurwitz, White House speechwriter for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, has turned her focus from politics to Judaism in her book "Here All Along." She sits down with Our Michel Martin to explain why she thinks the Jewish faith, that she was born into, can help us in these divisive times.

This episode is part two of several needed to cover Volume I, Section IV of the Mueller Report, which is entitled “Russian Government Links to and Contacts with the Trump Campaign.” Today's narration will cover Section A, Part 3, Carter Page, and Part 4, Dimitri Simes and the Center for the National Interest (or CNI), a think tank with expertise in and connections with the Russian Government. These sections relate the Russian contacts of Trump campaign policy advisor, Carter Page, and detail the connections to the Trump campaign--including with then-Senator Jeff Sessions and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner--through CNI and its CEO, Dimitri Simes, all during the period of the campaign from September 2015 through election day, November 8, 2016. Carter Page, if you'll recall, was the subject of a FISA warrant—FISA an acronym for the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows for surveillance of agents of foreign governments. Trump has repeatedly used this warrant as the basis for his claim that the Obama administration spied on his campaign. If you'd like more details on this controversial FISA warrant, Phillip Ewing breaks it all down in an article on the NPR website (which also includes a full copy of the redacted document itself).
