‼️ If you are an American Citizen, you absolutely need to look at this Press Release from the Department of Justice related to a Russian Disinformation campaign.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT POLITICAL PARTY YOU ARE A MEMBER OF.

justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
There are a few documents attached that are propaganda project proposals directed against the United States.

If each document has an English version & a Russian version. I will attach screenshot shots of the English portion (same content)
If you take a step back and read the contents, it becomes clear that their own prejudices and misunderstanding of the United States show themselves.

It also becomes clear that Russia wants to amplify some of the worst possible narratives in hopes of causing discord.

Here is a link to the affidavit from the Justice Department

‼️ Pay attention to this one

Let me do a close screenshot of this page…

See, they attack BOTH WAYS. The top example wants you to believe that nothing is true and everything is fake.

This is one of the sneakiest things trolls do. Image
They try to oversimplify topics and make anything that sounds like it isn’t perfect a failure.

They make a false narrative of what will be unlikely to happen and when it doesn’t can claim failure (or success)!

For example:
Another good example is how Russia actually was running out of artillery shells.

But somehow they convinced people that if that the guns would suddenly just stop, and since that exact thing didn’t happen it was all a failure!
The Annex of this affidavit is fascinating. There’s an example of just generating conflicts!

It isn’t just Americans who should be paying attention

Pay attention France & Germany! Image
Russian Disinformation campaign aimed at Israel Image
Russia really wants everyone to believe that there will be a civil war in the US any day now. Image
This is another interesting part, a “sleeper campaign”

It seems likely that these sorts of campaigns are not going to be limited to just Ukraine.

I swear I’m not a sleeper account! Image
The good news for all of you, is that I’m weird and unique enough that you’d probably notice if my account was suddenly taken over by someone else.
There was a page in the Annex for Memes
I didn’t say they were good memes 😂 Image

Here is where you can watch the Russian Central Bank meeting with English translation while it is live

Just a reminder: when the press conference is over, the above link may not work anymore and the recording of the press conference may be posted elsewhere.

I plan to post that when it is available.

It’s that time again…

WELCOME TO RUSSIAN CENTRAL BANK MEETING WEEK

And this one might be an exciting one.

Current Key Rate: 17%

And there’s a real possibility that it might go UP
The Ministry of Finance put out a quiet Press Release on Friday afternoon which means that the Central Bank will probably be unable to talk about it until AFTER the meeting. (Sneaky)

And as far as I can tell, no major news outlets have picked it up yet.
The Ministry of Finance announced they were creating 5 new bonds totaling 4.25 Trillion Rubles.

3 are Constant Coupon Bonds, all of which have higher coupon rates that any of their existing Constant Coupon Bond Image

‼️ Russia: “The body of a former official who built a 40 billion ruble bridge was found under a Moscow window.”

👉 Alexander Fedotov

“presumably the former head of the St. Petersburg Committee for the Development of Transport Infrastructure (KRTI)”

mk.ru/incident/2025/…Image
“According to sources, the tragedy occurred the day before. The body was found under the windows of a hotel in Sheremetyevo, where the deceased was likely staying in a room on one of the higher floors.”

fontanka.ru/2025/09/25/760…Image
“According to Baza , the preliminary investigation indicates it was a suicide.”

Of course…

The electronic budget system shows a 6.24 trillion ruble deficit as of 15 August 2025 Image
The Russian Treasury reported a 397.8 billion rubles deficit on Regional budgets for just the first 6 months of 2025. Which is massive

And it’s getting worse.

These budgets pay for bonuses on military contracts, as well as everything else, like schools & hospitals.
The Kuzbass Region recently tried to get loans and was unable to even receive an offer of a loan for the last 1 billion they were looking for.

I’ve been looking through various Russian publications, and I just don’t feel like there’s much optimism in them after this rate cut.
One thing that repeatedly comes up is that the ruble is overvalued.

Everyone is holding their breath waiting for it to weaken.

Another thing that I don’t think enough people realize, is that there are capital controls already in place and requirements for businesses to sell a certain portion of their foreign exchange earnings Image
