I wouldn’t call myself a whistleblower (the events I describe happened a long time ago) but the mind war tricks I explain here are relevant and critical to know to save democracy. The full program is also available at @BylineTV for subscribers. #propaganda #Russia #socialdilemma
I also discuss how to defend yourself during mind war and why the idea of ‘brainwashing’ isn’t so obscure. @BylineTV is funded by audience. Full program —> patreon.com/posts/41933194

🧵🚨Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, worked for a firm lobbying for Kremlin-linked oligarchs.

Her boss, who recommended Wiles for Trump’s campaign, lobbied for a Russian oligarch with deep ties to Putin and Rosneft.

Part 2: here.

Part 1: ⬇️
Before working for Trump's 2024 campaign, Wiles was a co-chair of Mercury Public Affairs.

Bryan Lanza, Mercury partner, lobbied for sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska’s energy and aluminum firm conglomerate EN+ Group in 2018.

“Deripaska has said that he does not separate himself from the Russian state. He has also acknowledged possessing a Russian diplomatic passport, and claims to have represented the Russian government in other countries."

Would #Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, pass a background check? Her daughter Caroline Wiles failed a security clearance in 2016.

🧵Alleged family ties to a Kremlin-linked lobbyist infamous for the Trump Tower “dirt” meeting and lobbying against the Magnitsky Act.
Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-born US citizen, a lobbyist with a two-decade relationship with Putin allies, is a longtime associate of Lanny Wiles, ex-husband of Susie Wiles, a known GOP operative and lobbyist.

nytimes.com/2017/08/21/us/…
Lanny Wiles and Akhmetshin worked to undo the Magnitsky Act, a law imposing sanctions on Russian officials.

“I think he works for us. I don’t think he works for them,” said Wiles... who has worked with Akhmetshin for more than 15 years. “But I don’t know what he really does.”

🧵 Russian oligarch Petr Aven played a critical role in #Putin’s rise to power.

Reports suggest links between Aven, #Trump’s presidential campaigns, and #Musk’s X acquisition.

These connections call for further examination. Voters deserve clarity on the national security. Image
One of the entities backing Musk’s Twitter buyout employs Aven’s son.

While Petr Aven has no known formal connection to X acquisition, the nature of the Russian mafia state calls for an investigation.
dw.com/en/what-do-xs-…
Petr Aven has longterm and close ties with Putin.

In the 90s, Aven shielded Putin from a corruption scandal involving $122M in missing food aid.

Putin then rose to the presidency by 1999, consolidating power with oligarch backing.

#Moldova 💥🚨🧵 With 1.7% votes of the referendum (to EU or not EU?) still left to be counted, what is going on?

In 2022, I did on the ground reporting and research in Russian interference in Moldovan politics. Good background.

With Georgia and US elections next, important ⬇️ Image
In Chisinau, I followed a crowd of bussed old ladies to an anti-government process. This is what I have found:

Following up, I spoke to experts and Moldovan government officials and residents. Banned Russian TV channels were still airing full speed:
