#NationalPrayerBreakfast: Trump speaks now. The Kremlin infiltration thread. The National Prayer Breakfast is held by Fellowship, also known as The Family, and the International Foundation. Doug Burleigh is currently a leader of the National Prayer Breakfast.
Burleigh took over after the longtime leader Doug Coe, his father-in-law, who died in February 2017. Both Dough Coe and Dough Burleigh have ties to the Russian officials.
Doug Coe had a close friendship with Boris Birshtein, an émigré from the USSR and allegedly a (double) agent of the KGB and Mossad” with confirmed organized crime connections.
Birshtein’s network of companies Seabeco (Siabeco) was created by the KGB to finance the secret services projects and launder money. He is/was involved with Solntsevo organized crime group & known to be a partner of Semion Mogilevich and the bosses of Solntsevo OC group.
Birshtein has decades of helping the Kremlin’s puppet regimes around the world. Importantly, Birshtein helped to finance presidential campaigns of Leonid Kuchma and Vladimir Yanukovich, Putin’s puppets in Ukraine.
Birshtein’s son-in-law and life-long business partner, USSR-born Alex Schnaider was a Trump’s partner in Toronto Trump Tower and has ties to the Kremlin.
In 2008, Birshtein collaborated with the FBI on Robert Levinson’s case, negotiating the conditions of the Russian billionaire and Putin’s close ally Oleg Deripaska’s entry into the US despite of the organized crime status.
Birshtein had ties with “Kazakh Trio” that controlled Bayrock Group, a company that was a strategic partner and one of the financing parties for the Trump SoHo in NY and developments in Arizona and Florida.
National Breakfast current leader, Doug Burleigh, a son-in-law of the deceased Doug Coe was visiting Russia for 52 years. He gave a speech and interview during the First Youth Business Prayer Breakfast in Moscow on May 2015.
In Moscow, Burleigh presented with the Vice President of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Alexander Torshin, Putin’s advisor Sergey Glaziev, the Vice President of Lukoil Andrey Gaydamaka and other influential officials.
After the speech, Burleigh gave an interview to Andrey Tunyaev, the chief-editor of President, a magazine distributed at the administration of the Russian Federation president and government offices. Tunyaev is a part of President Putin’s security service.
Alexander Torshin and Butina attended National Prayer Breakfast in the US in 2017. Maria Butina was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the Russian Federation.
Butina’s promotional activities for Russian political interests included attending the National Prayer Breakfast twice, according to the New York Times.
The article shows how conservative religious groups and networks like the Federalist Society, the National Prayer and Chabad were infiltrated and/or manipulated by the Kremlin to support critical decisions like Kavanaugh's nomination. 👇medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
"Since the founding of our nation, many of our greatest strides – from gaining our independence to abolition of civil rights to extending the vote for women – have been led by people of faith," Trump said today at the National Prayer Breakfast. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
If we don't want our civil rights taken away from us by the Kremlin, we'd better start paying attention to the above. All of us. Now. PS. Thoughts and prayers won't help.
