In the current chaos, don't lose sight of this expose on Russia's infiltration of the US Treasury. One of the most important investigative articles since the election.
In spring 2015, Russian agent Maria Butina and her handler Aleksandr Torshin met with an official at the US Treasury Dept
On the latest @gaslitnation we discuss the Butina case in detail, including the constant question of why those tasked with protecting our national security looked the other way patreon.com/posts/23439605
Steve Mnunchin, Secretary of the Treasury, is one of the few original Trump cabinet members remaining. He was the finance chairman of Trump's deeply corrupt campaign, and after a history of delaying sanctions on Russia before passing them, he's now aiding oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
Reminder that Steve Mnuchin is one of few people to profit massively off the Madoff Ponzi scheme.

They will crash the economy to make money off it. It's what they do. It's what Trump did and what his idol Carl Icahn did. Loot and redistribute. google.com/amp/s/www.nyda…
Speaking of Carl Icahn, we never got answers on this bizarre story...

"When it comes to Putin's objectives, do not think in rational terms. We're on Putin's time, Putin's dime, and Putin's mindset. None of it can be trusted." -- @MalcolmNance on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dispatch…
"If Russia invades western Ukraine, it will be a bloodbath. Ukraine has been rebuilt since 1945 and here the Kremlin is talking about destroying it all. The only way to fight is going to be total war." -- @MalcolmNance on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dispatch…
"This whole concept of Putin honoring 'Kievan Rus' is a mirage. Putin is a racist and hates Ukrainians. The way he uses ahistorical analyses of Ukrainians is similar to how white Americans described Black Americans during Jim Crow." -- @Russian_Starr patreon.com/posts/dispatch…

"Imperialists and dictators will always use the lie of 'this ethnic group naturally has a slave mentality' to justify their own horrific actions. If you hear this phrase, dismiss it. There is no such thing as an innate 'slave mentality.'" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…
"There is also no such thing as a 'natural inclination toward authoritarianism.' Westerners will say this about long-standing dictatorships, that this is the natural order of things, instead of grasping that people living in a dictatorship cannot discuss it and must navigate it."
"When people don't protest, it does not mean that they are in favor of their leader. It means they are avoiding state force. Once the dictator finally leaves, you often see a heated rejection of decades-long personality cults. Look at Kazakhstan now." patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…

THREAD compiling notable Gaslit Nation episodes on Ukraine:
At @gaslitnation, we have been covering Ukraine, Russia and the US -- and the global kleptocracy tying them together -- since our first episode in 2018. This thread links to the transcripts of episodes that provide more context for the current crisis.
"Manafort, Wikileaks, and Trump's Long Bromance with Putin" Our very first episode on the global nexus of kleptocratic actors and how Ukraine is used as a playing ground for their criminal schemes gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…

Compiling @gaslitnation threads on mafia state enabler Merrick Garland:

TV pundits called this first thread "brutal and controversial." It is simply a list of things he's done at Biden's DOJ.
Third thread, debunking the propaganda apparatus that rewrote Garland's career, in particular his time at the Clinton DOJ:

An article I wrote in April 2018 about how Trump would use the pardon power as a lure for his crime cult to be protected. Then he did it, repeatedly, and is threatening to do it again.
The people who plotted the Capitol attack were the people he pardoned before it:
Same mafia state playbook, again and again. I wrote a book about the playbook three years ago and nothing changed.

"We need an overarching democracy strategy from the top to the bottom. At the top is preventing the people who tried to overthrow the election from ever doing it again. But I don't see urgency from Dems to prevent this from happening." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"I'm very worried that even though the 2020 coup failed, all the steps are being put in place for another coup to succeed in 2022 or 2024." -- @AriBerman on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"What happens in 2022 will determine whether there will even be a fair election in 2024. Because if all these insurrectionists take over county election boards and secretary of state races, it will be nearly impossible to have a fair election." patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
