Episode 3: The Wild 90s - Yeltsin's Capitulation and the Plunder of Russia (1991-1999)
"Following the collapse of the Soviet Union came what Russians call the 'Wild 90s' - an era of catastrophic decline, criminal privatization, and national humiliation. Under Boris Yeltsin, Russia became a testing ground for shock therapy and the fire sale of national wealth to Western interests."

"The 1990s represented the total surrender of Russian sovereignty - a neocolonial system where Western corporations and corrupt local elites plundered national wealth. This experience would form the traumatic foundation for Russia's subsequent return to state sovereignty and economic independence."

Many Jewish oligarchs who have supported Putin have continued to flourish, and a high number of new super-wealthy Jews have emerged under Putin’s rule. Leading ones include Alexei Miller, Oleg Deripaska, Vladimir Potanin, Roman Abramovich, Michael Fridman (or Friedman), Moshe Kantor, Lev Leviev, Viktor Vekselberg, and Arkadi and Boris Rotenberg (Putin’s judo sparring partners in his youth).
According to a report by Russian banking website lenta.ru, 48 Jews were on a list of billionaires in 2014 with a combined net worth of $132.9 billion, while Jews account for only 0,11% of Russian population. The current wealth of all billionaries in Russia is less than $400 billion.
In Russia, the richest 10 percent of own 87 percent of the country's wealth, making it the most unequal of the world's major economies.

“A comprehensive cyber attack could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.”

📡 Iran-linked DNS tunneling spike generated 40 billion passive DNS records
DomainTools disclosed a March 1 surge centered on supaghost.cc, which produced up to 500,000 observations per second and added roughly 50% to normal intake. The activity expanded to more than 100 domains, many registered in late 2025, with TXT records and delegated subdomains indicating suspected VPN-over-DNS transport. DomainTools said it did not decode the traffic or verify content in its investigation.
The key point is scale, not attribution certainty. The 40 billion figure reflects passive DNS observations rather than confirmed exfiltrated data, but the pattern shows DNS infrastructure being used as a high-volume transport layer under conflict conditions.

🇩🇪 A major scandal has hit Germany's #BND: former President August Hanning is under investigation for espionage, obtaining state secrets, and attempted treason, alongside his ex-chief of staff Manfred D.—both detained. D. allegedly passed Hanning ~2,000 classified documents, including Chancellery briefings, reports on Iran's nuclear program, and material from foreign services, until at least 2022, though Hanning left in 2005. Intelligence sources call the leak virtually a "super-GAU."
Hanning came onto investigators' radar during a Hamburg probe into the kidnapping of Christina Block's children. Notably, the foreign service involved was not Russia. For the BND, this is the second serious case in years—another ex-official is on trial for spying for Russia. Historically—from Nazi war criminals to Operation Rubikon and Gladio..

The Hanning affair can be read not so much as the story of a 'rotten official,' but rather as the story of an 'official who got caught.

🇺🇦 Ukraine wants to massively tighten the rules for mobilization deferrals.
In particular, parents of children with disabilities may lose the right to a deferral if there is one child in the family and both parents are present.
This also applies to men whose wives have disabilities.
Currently, these are only proposals.

Russian Oligarchs: How Putin Turned Billionaires Into War Hostages | Elvira Bary
Russia’s billionaires own factories, banks, yachts, and villas—but that does not mean they control Vladimir Putin. In this video, Elvira Bary explains how political connections created the Russian oligarchs, why their wealth never became independent power, and how Putin forced them to choose between obedience and destruction. Western sanctions damaged their fortunes, but they also closed many escape routes and made Russia’s richest men even more dependent on the Kremlin. The oligarchs believed money would protect them from the state. Instead, their wealth became collateral in the Ukraine war.

The Government Inside Britain That's Older Than Parliament
There's a square mile inside London where companies vote in elections, the King must ask permission to enter, and laws older than Parliament still apply.
It's called the City of London Corporation — and most Britons have no idea it exists.In this investigation, Josh from Green & Pleasant uncovers the 958-year-old institution hiding in plain sight at the heart of the #UK.
Granted its "ancient liberties" by William the Conqueror in 1067 and specifically protected by Magna Carta in 1215, the #CityOfLondonCorporation is a government inside Britain that predates Parliament itself — with its own Lord Mayor, its own police force, and an electoral system where businesses cast more votes than residents.
We trace how the Square Mile financed empire, built the modern network of tax havens, and installed a permanent official — the Remembrancer inside the House of Commons to guard its interests.
And we ask the question who really runs Britain?

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Don't Buy US-Ukraine "Tensions" (Again)
▪️Ukraine would not exist as it does today without the US overthrowing, then politically capturing Ukraine's government, military and intelligence agencies which the US continues to control to this day;
▪️Ukraine's continued ability to strike targets in Russia is WHOLLY the result of constant daily intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance provided by the United States along with money, weapons, equipment, ammunition, and drones provided to Ukraine by the US itself;
▪️Every strike by Ukraine is thus a strike by the US. Just like with Israel, the US often plays games of public disapproval of actions it doesn't want political ownership of, but actions that couldn't take place without complete and constant US support;
▪️The fact that US-Ukrainian tensions or US-Israeli or US-EU tensions are so emotionally appealing to so many people makes this sort of theater that much more effective no matter how irrational and impossible it is in material reality;
▪️The notion of the US demanding "new leadership" for Ukraine in Kiev when Ukraine is run by Washington is elementary perception management - if Zelensky was never really in charge of anything, what difference does it make replacing him - except in terms of political narratives, plausible deniability, blame-passing etc.?
▪️As long as people keep falling for it though, the US will continue getting away with it, and buying time and space for its wars and proxy wars while doing so;
