@TFFPrisoner i can tolerate hubs for conspiracy nonsense and extremism, but telegram is more than just another twitter + discord pretending to be secure — it belongs to a #russian and is probably transparent to #kgb, there are reports of opposition journalists having been misteriously arrested by russian police after exchanging encrypted messages over telegram.
Beim Schreiben wurde mir so richtig bewusst, wie sehr die Diskussion in den meisten Medien an Kern des Ganzen vorbeigeht.
Es ist schwierig, die Komplexitäten sind enorm, im Vergleich zur Gerontrokratie USA ist #Putin noch jung und dennoch seit Jahrzehnten an der Macht. Ein wahrer Schüler von Machiavelli, trainiert und sozialisiert durch seine Zeit beim #KGB (heute #FSB), den er ebenfalls kontrolliert.
Dennoch müssen wir es zumindest versuchen, es "gerade zurücken".
Keine Wahl.
"Alexei #Navalny was likely to have been killed with a punch to the heart, a technique that was once taught to #KGB special forces operatives, after being exposed to freezing conditions for several hours, it has been claimed

Blowing Up Russia the Secret KGB Plot That Delivered Russia to Putin
Blowing up Russia traces the extraordinary story behind the fake Islamist attacks on Moscow that led to marshal law and triggered Russia's invasion of Chechnya. Based on the steady stream of official statements and Litvinenko's insider knowledge, this exceptional book shows how there were no Islamist attacks at all.
Stumbled upon an old FB comment by philologist Kirill Ospovat. He wrote:
"Grandfather of mine was invited to Lubyanka [the KGB HQ] once to give lectures on Latin American literature. He did not dare to refuse, so he came and began lecturing. He started with biographies: "co-operated with the local communist party" and so on. A senior officer in the audience politely interrupted: "Lev Samoilovich, you can leave that out, this we already know".
The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, was a defining event for Germans who had finally united. But this story of people's triumph scared the s**t out of Vladimir Putin and made him eventually leave Germany.
The US says it has intelligence that the Russian paramilitary group Wagner may send an air defense system to the Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah.
@KimPerales@otownKim and to his predecessors from #KGB, in #Soviet times. All of the Middle Eastern #terrorism was, in fact, #Russian/Soviet. Just like Western European terrorism was, for that matter - it has dwindled with USSR demise, but soon they'd revive it, I'm sure.
The KGB manipulated Trump with simple flattery. “In terms of his personality, the guy is not a complicated cookie,” he said, “his most important characteristics being low intellect coupled with hyperinflated vanity. This makes him a dream for an experienced recruiter.”
Trump is a Russian asset, we can see it in his actions.
The Russian Orthodox Church abroad is becoming an increasingly important part of the Kremlin's intelligence and influence operations. @AndreiSoldatov
explains to @ErinBurnett
how religious officials are cooperating with Russian agents in the United States and beyond.
@hanse_mina#russians also pushed the #American religious "#evangelical" sheeple to latch onto one of the most unvirtuous sociopaths imaginable in the orange genius, #trump. That idiot box dynamic already existed since the days of #nixon & #kissinger, but the #KGB could always smell a weakness in the enemies they could help make worse.
Canadian media keeps saying how embarrassing it is for #Canada that our Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau is stuck in #India because his plane broke down.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, the “Supreme Leader” of #NorthKorea is on his way to #Russia to meet with #Putin… by train!

32 years ago today #OTD , on the second day of the #1991#Soviet#GKChP coup, after a day spent in fear (for crushing the very gentle first results of democratisation), witnessing the #tanks of the Tamanskaya or Kantemirovskaya divisions rolling into #Moscow from the south-west direction, i felt for the first time this day that the #coup leaders just might not get away with it... (cont.)
And as for us, those thousands out on the streets of #Moscow following the #Soviet#GKChP coup 32 years ago #OTD , we gathered at #Lubyanka square at night, in front of the #KGB hq and took down the statue of ChK founder known as Iron #Felix ( #Dzherzhinsky ) - there are serious attempts in #Putin 's #Russia to reinstate it back there (cont.)
Consider that, and realise why destroying the main orthodox cathedral in #Odesa, #Ukraine is not unthinkable for the #Rashists
They can't act as civilised people: their only way is violence, destruction, death and suffering. That's how the KGB operated, that's how Putin operates, that's how russian society will support them to their own bitter end.
The dubious relationship between Boris Johnson and the Lord of Siberia.
The former British prime minister appointed Evgeny Lebedev, the son of a former KGB officer turned oligarch, to the House of Lords, against the advice of the intelligence services, who were convinced of links between the Lebedev family and the Kremlin.
'the version of #Putin that we saw back then in the early 2000s was a facade carefully maintained by a #kgb operative. that’s what he skilfully did while pursuing this ultimate objective in restoring what he saw as Russia's might. Making #Russia respected again.….The reality at the end of this project is that his credible opponents are either in jail, or in exile or dead'
