While Russia is roiling with protests, the latest Putin exposé by @navalny and his team already has 71 million + views.

Threading some highlights.
PUTIN’S “PRINCIPLES”: Navalny delineates Putin’s “principles” would become the basis of the Russian state:
1/ “Always say one thing and do another. Lying and hypocrisy are the most effective methods of work.”
2/ “Corruption is the foundation of trust. Your main friends are those who have been stealing and cheating with you for many years.”
3/ “And the most important thing: there is never too much money.”
CORRUPTOCRAT: “After becoming head of the FSB, Putin did exactly what he was supposed to do: helped corrupt officials evade responsibility.”
“You want to steal... share with Putin.”
KING PUTIN: Navalny describes “Putin’s Palace” as an “actual separate state within Russia.”
MENTALLY ILL: “Looking inside, you will understand that the president of Russia is mentally ill.”
Meet the drone crew who gives you an aerial tour of “the new Versailles.”
THIS JUST IN: We interrupt this thread to inform you the @navalny investigation has had five million more views since this morning. Now at 76 million+
HAVING A ROOF: As Navalny explains how the Palace was funded, it hearkens back to this thread:
🏰 = $100 billion rubles so far.
NEVER ENOUGH: To quote Tolstoy, the villains who robbed the people gathered together, recruited soldiers and judges to guard their orgy, and are feasting.
Fancy toilet paper holders, and fancy cronies.
NO RESUME NECESSARY: “And he once asked me to give a job to a man in St. Petersburg.”
Navalny pleading to stop tolerating officials who steal.
FIGHT THE POWER: Here he encourages protests for free and fair elections.
As he wraps up the two-hour presentation, he reminds people that they have the numbers to change the course of history.
144.4 million people live in Russia. 76 million people have viewed this investigation in four days.

He’s asking everyone who watches the video to share the link.
“Our future is in our hands. Do not be silent.”-@navalny
As of this writing, Navalny is in prison and more than 3,000 people were arrested in protests today in 90 cities, including his wife Yulia.

Undeterred, the people are planning another protest next weekend.

“And at some point in their lives, Robert Maxwell, Trump, and Epstein all had ties to foreign intelligence agencies, arms dealers, and the sex trade.”-@craigunger #Kompromat
“Ghislaine orchestrated a never-ending series of movable feasts at which Epstein would..play courtier to presidents, movie stars, brutal dictators, world-class scientists, Wall Street billionaires...he’d have sex with two, three, or more young girls almost every day.”-@craigunger
“Trump fit right in. Epstein and Maxwell invited him everywhere—and Trump reciprocated..In 1992 at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort..The New York Times reported, no fewer than 28 attractive young women were flown in..there were only two male guests—Trump and Epstein.”-@craigunger

RESISTANCE REFLECTIONS ON INAUGURATION EVE: We did it!

Breathe, reflect, and allow our muses to guide us as we fight on.

1/ We did it, you and me.

We thwarted an authoritarian in the middle of consolidating power. We did it by exercising our rights as American citizens: we voted. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor the installation of hack at the USPS, nor a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic could stop us.
2/ Enough of us had the sense to rebuke disinformation and vote for the good guy and gal.

OLD DIC: “Khodorkovsky said the arrest of Navalny was an attempt by Putin—whom he cast as an ‘ageing autocrat’—to show that he is still Russia’s top dog.

He said the West should act rather than talk if it wanted to influence the Kremlin.”-⁦@Reutersreuters.com/article/us-rus…
“Khodorkovsky said the West should impose sanctions on individuals involved in expanding Russia’s network of corrupt money across the world.”-@Reuters
“Putin feels he has to show he is the main animal in the herd or that people will believe that he is no longer the top dog,” Khodorkovsky, 57, told @Reuters in London when asked why @Navalny had been targetted.
