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…
"Kleptocracy World Order" On organized crime, the axis of autocrats, and the escalation of Putin’s aggression on Ukraine gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Lessons from Ukraine Five Years After the Revolution". Interview with Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk, looking back at the 2014 uprising and at parallels between the US and Ukraine gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Oleg Sentsov Directs a Film from a Siberian Prison". Interviews with Russian and Belarusian activists about Oleg Sentsov, a filmmaker kidnapped from Crimea and held in a Siberian penal colony on trumped up charges gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Dirty Dirty Giuliani". May 2019 interview with Russian-American journalist Vlad Davidzon on Ukrainian president Zelensky and what dirty operatives like Giuliani had in store for him and the Biden family gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"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…
"Fraud Guarantee". On Rudy Giuliani, his goons Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, their mafia master Dmytro Firtash, and their connections to the Trump/Kremlin mafia states gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"A New Era of Cyberwar". Interview with WIRED’s Andy Greenberg on how Ukraine is a laboratory for cyberwarfare and how that cyberwarfare spills over into the rest of the world. More important than ever! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Russian Propaganda as Judge and Jury". Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk discusses how disinformation makes its way from the Kremlin into western media and even into western courts gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"The Good Germans". This episode is not on Ukraine but on the “Good Germans” in big tech, big business, the military industrial complex, the mainstream media, and the intelligence community who enable authoritarian kleptocracy. Listen and learn! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"The Polonium Tea Party." On the GOP, its ties to mafia associates and oligarchs from the former USSR, the corrosive influence of dark money on the US political system, and how oligarchy won the Cold War. gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Putin's Terrorism and What to Do About it" Our latest thoughts on Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine. Lots of background information if you're new to the subject! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
Since we touched on Ukraine in nearly every episode, there is a LOT more than what's in this thread! Full archives of @gaslitnation episodes are here: gaslitnationpod.com
You may notice that all our episodes and transcripts are free! We keep everything free and accessible because the information is important. But if you appreciate our work, please join the Gaslit Nation Patreon in order to keep us going: patreon.com/gaslit
Adding to the @gaslitnation Ukraine information thread, our latest episode, “NATO Is a Red Herring”:
Adding this week’s “Dispatch from Ukraine” to the thread
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…

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, it's GOP leader and presidential candidate Bob Dole's foreign agent registration forms from when he worked for oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

And he's one of the few to admit it! There's a long dark history here. Not limited to the GOP either.

Oh look, two former heads of the FBI worked for the Russian mafia:
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 on Sept 12, 2001, Netanyahu was asked what he thought of the 9/11 attacks and he said “It’s very good.”

Oh wait you don’t need to imagine because that’s what he actually did:

nytimes.com/2001/09/12/us/…
Imagine if Netanyahu kept saying how great the 9/11 attacks were for Israel — he just couldn’t shut up about it!

And then imagine he said he kept bragging he “predicted” the 9/11 attacks, to the point his buddies told him to stop foreignpolicy.com/2008/04/16/quo…
danielpipes.org/blog/2009/03/d…
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/…
Why is the media reporting on a well-established phenomenon as if it were brand-new? It’s a propaganda tactic I explained in my 2022 book THEY KNEW:
Also John Kelly’s “revelations” to the press are also not recent, they were reported in July 2021 cnn.com/2021/07/07/pol…
