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.

"Will Giuliani Be the Manafort of 2020?" Yes, he was! The June 2019 episode where we describe the Ukraine shakedown that Trump was ultimately impeached for and that US officials pretended they didn’t know about. They feign shock to avoid accountability! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…

Adding to the @gaslitnation Ukraine information thread, our latest episode, “NATO Is a Red Herring”:
Adding my interview with @AndreaChalupa about “Mr Jones”, her film about a journalist uncovering the truth about Stalin’s genocide famine in Ukraine. This is a heartfelt interview with a lot of lessons for the current moment, much like “Mr Jones” itself: gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
Adding the @gaslitnation 2-22-2022 episode to the thread
This was obvious eight years ago. Notable that all three are products of nepotism in journalism and politics — just like Trump, Kushner, and the others for whom they covered. Mafia state operatives prefer nepo babies to be their stenographers because they’ll keep secrets.
A 2016 thread on Chris Cuomo, who played down the Jeffrey Epstein case and other Trump rape cases. The thread also includes Michael Cohen threatening a reporter with violence, so quit deifying him.
Blinken was always a terrible pick for Sec of State due to his family ties to Israeli espionage and organized crime. His stepfather Samuel Pisar was the best friend and lawyer of Robert Maxwell -- the criminal Israeli "superspy" who was Ghislaine Maxwell's father.
Robert Maxwell died in 1991 and was given an elaborate Israeli state funeral. Pisar, allegedly the last person to see Maxwell alive, became Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.
I've gone over the Maxwell family history many times, but here is an excerpt of HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT with key details:
When I learned Biden had selected Blinken for Sec of State, I was horrified. Even if Blinken were an honorable man -- which he is not -- it is too easy to compromise someone raised by the best friend of one of Israel's most notorious spies and mafiosos.
Oh look, the Kremlin funds Congress through oligarch proxies registered as US citizens. This often overlaps with the purchase of US politicians by Israel.
All of it overlaps heavily with transnational organized crime.
Tweet from March 2018. I still think this is the crux of what's happening. Assumed it would play out under Trump, not Biden. But it's one continuous agenda, with recurring actors.
Another tweet from 2018. Worth considering as the Biden admin lets Ukraine down, dragging that war out while prioritizing Israel. Upon Trump's reinstallation, this will turn into straightforward support of the Kremlin.
The people to look at most to see where this headed are Netanyahu, Kushner, and their broader network in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and the US. Look for overlap and at people installed to ensure elite criminals thrive. Among them, Merrick Garland:
Imagine if in 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, Netanyahu was recorded without his knowledge bragging that “America is a thing you can move very easily” and that a video of this is online:
FFS we’ve known about Trump’s Hitler fandom since 1990, when Vanity Fair reported on it. That’s 34 years ago, people! archive.vanityfair.com/article/share/…
