Z The revelation of the codename, which translates to “Red,” corroborates what former KGB officer Yuri Shvets first disclosed on Narativ in January 2021 about Trump's 40-year tenure as a KGB asset. Alnur Mussayev, a former KGB officer based in Moscow, revealed the codename “Krasnov.”  "Krasnov" (Краснов) is a relatively common Russian surname. The root "krasn" (красн-) comes from the Russian word "красный" (krasny) meaning "red." The surname Krasnov historically could have referred to someone with red hair. If true, Mussayev's revelations corroborate what Yuri Shvets first revealed on Narativ in January 2021. Shvets, a former chief at the KGB residency in Washington, DC, went on the record to confirm that Donald Trump was a valuable asset to Russian intelligence.

Z Narativ's Canada edition explores how everything from politics to sports is shifting in response to Trump - and discovers a 75% increase in Americans moving to Canada.The biggest story in North American relations isn't happening at diplomatic summits or trade negotiations. It's playing out in immigration offices, polling stations, and yes – even on the ice. As Trump steers America away from its traditional NATO allies and toward Russia and China, Canada faces an unprecedented realignment. Our investigation reveals three key shifts: First, the numbers. Since Trump's November victory, Canadian immigration sites saw an eight-fold surge in U.S. traffic. But unlike the empty threats that followed his 2016 win, immigration lawyers report serious inquiries from tech workers, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ families. The data backs this up: there's been a 75% increase in permanent residency invitations to U.S. residents. The Narativ with Zev Shalev is a viewer supported publication.

Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has emerged as a frontrunner for Liberal leadership, polling just three points behind the Conservatives. He's positioning himself as Canada's shield against Trump's America, and it's working – pulling 42% of previous NDP voters. Finally, there's the symbolism. Tomorrow's US-Canada hockey championship isn't just another game. With ticket prices rivaling the Super Bowl and three fights in the first nine seconds of their last match, it's become a proxy for deeper tensions. The implications are serious. As America shifts toward Russia and China, Canada faces critical choices about trade, security, and its role in the Western alliance. Trump's pivot isn't just redrawing diplomatic maps – it's reshaping North American society from the ground up. Our full investigation airs tonight on Narativ. Learn more about your ad choices.

Z A day that may reshape the global order began with a series of coordinated moves that culminated in Donald Trump's 90-minute call with Vladimir Putin. Here's what unfolded, and why it matters. The Timeline At 11:00 AM ET, Tulsi Gabbard, known for her Kremlin ties, was appointed Director of National Intelligence. At noon, America executed a prisoner swap, releasing Alexander Vinnick - a key architect of Russia's 2016 interference campaign - in exchange for former teacher Mark Fogel. Twenty-six minutes later, Trump and Putin began their first call of Trump's second term. The Putin Call The 90-minute conversation revealed a dramatic shift in America's position. Trump and Putin discussed what they called a "peace plan" for Ukraine - notably without Ukraine's President Zelenskyy present. The call covered Middle East peace and artificial intelligence, treating Russia as an ally rather than an adversary. It ended with mutual invitations: Trump to Moscow, Putin to Washington. The Crypto Scheme Exposed While diplomatic drama unfolded, new details emerged about Trump's meme coin launch. Analysis reveals: Over 800,000 investors lost a combined $2 billion Just 31 early trading wallets collected $680 million in profits The Trump family netted $102 million in trading fees alone Early traders bought at $0.23, saw the price surge to $75.60 The timing is crucial: these tokens were launched just before Trump took office. The pattern mirrors classic pump-and-dump operations that regulators have long warned about. The Bigger Picture Today's events represent more than isolated incidents. They reveal a systematic dismantling of American institutions and safeguards: Disbanding of the KleptoCapture Task Force that seized Russian oligarch assets Elimination of Foreign Interference Task Force Shutdown of election interference monitoring units Attacks on key intelligence agencies The combination of diplomatic realignment and financial manipulation points to a broader strategy. As one wallet linked to the crypto scheme made $111 million in just two days, questions arise about who really profited from these coordinated moves. What's Next? The implications of today's events will reverberate far beyond Washington. With cryptocurrency potentially becoming a cornerstone of future Treasury operations and America's traditional alliances in flux, the stakes couldn't be higher. Learn more about your ad choices.

Z As 25 major cryptocurrency figures gather at the White House tomorrow for a summit on establishing an American crypto reserve, our Narativ investigation has uncovered a deeply troubling pattern: three coordinated "pump and dump" operations that have transferred billions from ordinary Americans to a select few insiders with direct ties to Donald Trump. The December 5th Diversion The first operation occurred on December 5th while the nation was distracted by the assassination of the UnitedHealth CEO. In this carefully orchestrated sequence, Trump appointed David Sacks as "Crypto Czar" and Paul Atkins as SEC Chair – both staunch crypto advocates. Bitcoin surged from $70,000 to $108,000 before dropping to $85,000, generating an estimated $700 million windfall for Elon Musk's companies Tesla and SpaceX, which hold substantial Bitcoin on their balance sheets. As economist Peter Schiff noted in our exclusive interview, "If they were doing this with securities, they'd be in jail. But because these things are not securities, they just say they're collectibles. The pump and dump and insider trading or stock manipulation, none of that applies." The Meme Coin Massacre The second operation centered on the Trump and Melania meme coins launched just before the inauguration. Our investigation revealed that a mere 31 traders collected $675 million in profits while more than 800,000 investors lost a collective $2 billion – a staggering winner-to-loser ratio of 1:25,806. Meanwhile, the Trump family reportedly pocketed approximately $100 million in trading fees alone. The pattern is unmistakable: a 12-hour gap between the contract creation and public announcement provided insiders ample time to accumulate tokens at pennies on the dollar before the coordinated public push drove prices up nearly 40,000%. The Strategic Reserve Ruse The third operation unfolded just last Sunday when Trump announced on Truth Social that "a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve will elevate this critical industry" and specifically mentioned three cryptocurrencies: XRP, SOL, and ADA. As Schiff observed, "Donald Trump did not write that. I would bet almost anything that he had nothing to do with writing that post. There's no way that Donald Trump knows that ADA is the symbol for Cardano." The post – suspicious in both its timing and content – triggered immediate price spikes in the mentioned cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin shot up to $95,000 before quickly falling as investors realized the announcement was merely promotion for the upcoming summit rather than concrete policy. "They timed that, they shot the price up, and then they started selling," Schiff explained. "I bet they made hundreds of millions. These three coins were up 30, 40, 50% initially. Of course, it was a rug pull." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Follow @zevshalev on X ______________________________________________________________________ A highly unusual inauguration ushers in an American oligarchy. Dean Blundell and Zev Shalev delve into the intricate backstory that spans apartheid South Africa, the dawn of AI, and 'technocracy.' Air Force One landed in darkness. The inauguration was hastily moved indoors. Something very different was happening - this was an inauguration taking place in the eye of a storm. Hours earlier, President Biden delivered his final address from the Oval Office, speaking of the Statue of Liberty's ability to withstand fierce storms. "She sways a few inches," he warned, "but she never falls into the current below." As he spoke of an emerging oligarchy threatening democracy, few knew that a different kind of storm - codenamed "Salt Typhoon" - had already reshaped America's power structure. Behind the official explanations of weather and crowd size, a months-long Narativ investigation reveals a hidden realignment of global power. Our reporting traces a transformation that began in the uranium mines of apartheid South Africa and leads directly to America's AI future. At its center are four men who emerged from apartheid's collapse to reshape Silicon Valley: Peter Thiel, Roelof Botha, David Sacks, and Elon Musk. Their rise parallels China's growing influence in American technology and politics, culminating in this week's unprecedented scenes: tech billionaires lined up in the front row of Trump's indoor inauguration, TikTok's CEO prominently placed, and failed negotiations with Putin suggesting a new global alignment. The story begins with Pik Botha, South Africa's former foreign minister and grandfather of Silicon Valley kingmaker Roelof Botha. As minister of mineral and energy affairs, he oversaw the uranium program that connected Peter Thiel's father to South Africa's nuclear ambitions. Their vision of technocratic rule - where technical experts and engineers would govern society - didn't die with apartheid. It evolved. By the time PayPal emerged in the late 1990s, these four men had positioned themselves at the intersection of technology and power. Documents reveal PayPal's original mission wasn't American at all - it was designed as a payment processor for Chinese companies, the first step in a decades-long partnership that would reshape global power. Today, as Biden's warning about oligarchy echoes through empty halls, we see their technocratic vision coming full circle. From Trump's $500 billion AI initiative to China's new role as America's strategic partner, a transformation decades in the making has reached its culmination.

European leaders are bracing for unprecedented confrontation with the US over Greenland, the Arctic, election interference, and social media moderation. onald Trump Jr.'s surprise appearance in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, this week has sparked fresh concerns over the former president's territorial ambitions. Trump refuses to rule out military action to gain control of Greenland, prompting baffled reactions from EU leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has doubled down on his support for Germany's AfD party. He plans to interview far-right leaders that European officials warn could violate the EU's Digital Services Act. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has now openly aligned with Trump, declaring, "We're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments worldwide that are going after American companies." The EU isn't standing idle. Senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis Bill Echikson reveals that European regulators are actively investigating the X platform for potential violations. However, he warns traditional fines may prove ineffective: "Tech companies have never been scared about the large fines they're forced to pay. That's just the price of doing business." Behind these tensions lies a crucial reality: climate change is transforming Arctic trade routes, making Greenland increasingly strategic. With Russia eyeing Alaska and America's Arctic Council influence limited Trump's territorial focus takes on new significance.

Our latest analysis projects Kamala Harris as the probable winner of the 2024 election, with a likely path to 292 electoral votes. Election expert Carl Allen's independent forecast supports this projection, rating Harris as the more likely winner. His models even show a possible more decisive outcome, in which Democrats could sweep all swing states. Probable Path to Victory:  The most likely scenario shows Harris securing traditional blue-wall states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania) while adding North Carolina, creating multiple viable paths to victory even if she loses one blue-wall state. This probable path puts Harris at 292 electoral votes compared to Trums's forecast, showing potential for an even stronger Democratic performance. Michigan Michigan appears the most volatile of the blue wall states, with both campaigns wrestling over significant voter shifts. Despite Republicans registering more new voters than expected and potential losses of 50,000-150,000 traditionally Democratic voters over Gaza, Allen's polling average still shows Harris maintaining a likely lead at 48.5% to Trump's 48%. The GOP's strategic pivot to early voting could prove decisive. While they celebrate narrower Democratic early voting margins, Allen warns they may be "cannibalizing" their crucial Election Day turnout. Wisconsin In Allen's analysis, Wisconsin emerges as the most vulnerable blue-wall state, with a lower concentration of urban Democratic voters than Pennsylvania and Michigan. While Harris currently leads in Wisconsin, Allen rates it as the most likely blue-wall state to flip red—a scenario that would cost Democrats 10 electoral votes but likely wouldn't be fatal to Harris's chances if she secures other swing states. North CarolinaNorth Carolina has become the Democrats' probable safety net, consistently showing Harris at 49% to Trump's 47% across multiple polls. The state's shifting media landscape and the toxic effect of Republican gubernatorial candidate Robinson's scandals have created likely Democratic strength. Trump's hasty addition of an unplanned North Carolina rally signals Republican anxiety about a state that could provide Harris with probable electoral insurance if any blue wall state falters. Likely GOP Vulnerability Republicans' strategic shift to early voting will probably backfire by reducing their traditional Election Day advantage. With 19 million votes already cast and Democrats building strong early voting margins, the GOP faces a changed electoral landscape that likely complicates their path to victory. Despite prediction markets favoring Trump, Allen sees no data supporting him as even a probable favorite, suggesting market manipulation may be at play. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latest episode of Narativ, host Zev Shalev and guest Dean Blundell deliver a chilling wake-up call to Canadians about the dire state of their democracy. The conversation paints a disturbing picture of a nation teetering on the edge of autocracy, with foreign interference and media corruption threatening to unravel the very fabric of Canadian society. Blundell doesn't mince words as he exposes the rot at the core of Canada's media landscape. He reveals how outlets like Rebel News operate as little more than paid advocacy groups, pushing propaganda that aligns with Russian interests and far-right ideologies. The recent Supreme Court ruling confirming Rebel News produces less than 1% of actual news content is just the tip of the iceberg. But the threat goes beyond biased media. The episode uncovers the alarming influence of foreign actors, particularly Russia, in Canadian politics. From co-opting influential individuals to running sophisticated disinformation campaigns, these efforts aim to polarize public opinion and undermine trust in democratic institutions. Even more shocking is the revelation that Canadian taxpayer money has been used to fund Russian propaganda films. The urgency of the situation becomes clear as Shalev and Blundell discuss the upcoming election. They warn that Canadians face a stark choice between character and corruption, with the very soul of the nation hanging in the balance. The potential for a Pierre Poilievre-led government, coupled with the possibility of a Trump presidency in the US, paints a grim picture for North American democracy. Time is running out for Canadians to wake up to these threats. This episode of Narativ serves as a crucial call to action, urging citizens to engage critically with the information they consume and to fight for the preservation of their democratic values. The future of Canada hangs in the balance, and every voice matters in this battle against creeping authoritarianism.

In a groundbreaking exposé, Narativ's special Canada edition, hosted by Zev Shalev with guest Dean Blundell, unveiled disturbing parallels between the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and emerging threats to Canadian democracy Poilievre: The Face of Maple MAGA Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has emerged as the standard-bearer for what some are calling "Maple MAGA" - a Canadian iteration of the populist movement seen in the United States. With his party leading in the polls, Poilievre stands on the brink of potentially becoming Canada's next Prime Minister. This prospect raises alarming questions about the future of Canadian democracy. As Zev Shalev noted, "Poilievre's rise mirrors the playbook we've seen in other democracies that have slid towards authoritarianism. The parallels with figures like Viktor Orbán in Hungary are hard to ignore." The CBC: Autocrat Target While the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is in a very precarious position if an authoritarian-leaning government takes power. "History shows us that public broadcasters often become prime targets for leaders seeking to control the narrative," Dean Blundell emphasized. "If Poilievre wins, the CBC could face a fate similar to public media in Hungary or Poland." Security Clearance Controversy  Adding to concerns, Poilievre has refused to submit to a top-secret security clearance check - an unprecedented move for a potential prime minister. This stance becomes even more critical as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party has lost its crucial partnership with the New Democratic Party (NDP), putting the current government in a precarious position. Recent polls showing Poilievre's Conservatives with a significant lead amplify worries about a potential leadership change without proper security vetting. Russia's Billion Dollar Digital Racketeering Market Compounding these internal challenges, a recent U.S. Department of Justice indictment has unveiled a massive $10 million Russian disinformation operation targeting both Canada and the United States. This operation, involving Canadian actors, highlights significant vulnerabilities in Canada's defenses against foreign influence. The indictment implicates Tenet Media, a conservative outlet founded by Canadian influencer Lauren Chen, as a potential front for pro-Kremlin propaganda. This revelation underscores the sophisticated nature of foreign interference in Canadian politics.

Its primary mission is to create and disseminate content designed to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine and sow discord among the American public. First evidence that Elon Musk uses X to push Kremlin propaganda to his Millions of followers.

"A Publicity Stunt Masquerading as an Assassination Attempt"

West Palm Beach, FL - What was initially reported as a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club has now raised more questions than answers, according to a Narativ investigation. On September 15, 2024, chaos erupted at Trump International Golf Club when a man allegedly opened fire near the course where the former president was playing. Trump was unharmed in the incident. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after a high-speed chase. Routh, a North Carolina native who relocated to Hawaii in 2018, has a complex background that includes a 2002 felony conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. However, discrepancies in the official narrative have emerged. Court documents place Routh at the golf course at 1:00 AM, hours before Trump's reportedly last-minute decision to play golf. This timing has raised questions about how Routh knew to be there. The weapon allegedly used, an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number, is not commonly sold in Florida, adding another layer of mystery to the incident. Months before the event, social media posts warned about Routh's alleged misrepresentation of ties to international military organizations. One user, claiming to be a former International Legion member, stated Routh was "misrepresenting himself and lying to many people" about connections to Ukrainian forces. The incident occurs against the backdrop of a tight presidential race. Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow 0.2 percentage point lead in battleground states, while former President Trump leads in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona. Pennsylvania, with its crucial 19 electoral votes, is currently tied. Local law enforcement and federal agencies are continuing their investigation into the incident.

"A Publicity Stunt Masquerading as an Assassination Attempt"

West Palm Beach, FL - What was initially reported as a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club has now raised more questions than answers, according to a Narativ investigation. On September 15, 2024, chaos erupted at Trump International Golf Club when a man allegedly opened fire near the course where the former president was playing. Trump was unharmed in the incident. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after a high-speed chase. Routh, a North Carolina native who relocated to Hawaii in 2018, has a complex background that includes a 2002 felony conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. However, discrepancies in the official narrative have emerged. Court documents place Routh at the golf course at 1:00 AM, hours before Trump's reportedly last-minute decision to play golf. This timing has raised questions about how Routh knew to be there. The weapon allegedly used, an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number, is not commonly sold in Florida, adding another layer of mystery to the incident. Months before the event, social media posts warned about Routh's alleged misrepresentation of ties to international military organizations. One user, claiming to be a former International Legion member, stated Routh was "misrepresenting himself and lying to many people" about connections to Ukrainian forces. The incident occurs against the backdrop of a tight presidential race. Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow 0.2 percentage point lead in battleground states, while former President Trump leads in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona. Pennsylvania, with its crucial 19 electoral votes, is currently tied. Local law enforcement and federal agencies are continuing their investigation into the incident. The Department of Justice has notably avoided using the term "assassination attempt" in its statements, referring instead to "firearms charges related to an incident." As the investigation unfolds, many questions remain unanswered. How did Routh obtain the weapon? What were his true intentions? And why was he at the golf course hours before Trump arrived?

Last night's interview between former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk on Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has attracted serious criticism. The two-hour conversation, which reportedly reached an audience of up to 84 million viewers, has been criticized for potentially spreading misinformation and unsubstantiated claims. Key Points of Contention: Immigration Claims: Trump's assertion that 20 million people have entered the country illegally was challenged as unsupported by available data. Foreign Policy: Trump's claim that conflicts like Russia's invasion of Ukraine wouldn't have happened under his presidency was questioned, with critics suggesting that his approach might have had negative consequences for global democracy. Education: Trump proposed closing the Department of Education and moving control back to individual states, a suggestion that was met with skepticism about its potential effectiveness. October 7th Attack: Trump made a controversial claim suggesting Russian involvement in the October 7th attack on Israel, which has not been corroborated by official sources. Economic Issues: Trump's statements about inflation being at its worst in 100 years were disputed, with current data showing inflation rates have decreased to more manageable levels. In a late-night Narativ, Zev Shalev argued that the interview format allowed for the unchallenged spread of potentially false or misleading information. Concerns were also raised about the appropriateness of a major social media platform providing what some view as free campaign publicity. The broadcast has reignited discussions about social media's role in political discourse and platforms' responsibility in moderating content during election seasons. As the 2024 presidential campaign continues to unfold, this interview serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between media, technology, and politics in the modern era.

He argues that despite the salacious details, the core issue is the integrity of the American electoral process. The episode features revealing excerpts from Daniels' testimony, recreated with AI-generated voices, painting a vivid picture of her alleged affair with Trump. Shalev notes the wealth of specific details in her account, making it difficult to dismiss as fabrication. Turning to Hope Hicks' testimony, Shalev suggests that her statements may not be as favorable to the prosecution as initially perceived. He points out how Hicks seems to cast doubt on Michael Cohen's reliability while also advancing the questionable "Melania defense" - the idea that Trump was motivated by concern for his wife rather than political self-interest. Shalev also examines the mounting documentary evidence, including handwritten notes, bank records, and signed checks, corroborating a scheme to conceal the hush money payments. He plays fascinating audio clips of Cohen himself fretting over the unraveling plot. Shalev previews the defense team's anticipated cross-examination of Daniels and Cohen, who will likely paint them as opportunistic and untrustworthy. The host also ponders the potential political fallout, gaming out the ramifications of a guilty verdict or a deadlocked jury. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
