Documentary "The Oligarchs" : What Ukraine's recent past can teach us about Trump, money laundering and puppet presidents
As you guys know I have a thing for documentaries and recently I came across this excellent documentary about Oligarchs in Ukraine and Russia.
It explains how oligarchs are connected in Ukraine and how they paid for the election of Viktor Yanukovych. Paul Manafort, who is now in prison, was hired by oligarchs to create Yanukovych’s campaign and lead him to win the election, which he did.
Yanukovych was not just elected, but eventually deposed after a popular uprising. Which in some ways, parallels what is happening here now. There is a passage in this documentary that shows footage of Yanukovych leaving Ukraine in the middle of the night, ‘rescued’ as it were by a Russian helicopter. He is now living in Russia.
This is not THAT different from the situation we are living with Trump. His election was managed by Manafort, he was created and propped by an adversary to harm his own country. Just like Yanukovych.
This documentary also does a fantastic job of explaining how money laundering works and how these oligarchs use shadow companies to transfer dirty money, often literally stolen from the Ukranian treasury. It also brings up some new oligarchs I had never heard of, who just happen to be connected to Giuliani and Trump. One of them in fact, was negotiating for Trump Tower Moscow…
Which reminds me of how I first found it. I was looking up "Pavel Fuchs and Giuliani" and documentary came up. Pavel Fuchs is an oligarch I had never heard of who is supposedly being investigated at SDNY in the Lev/Igor/Giuliani case. This WSJ article explains the connection between Giuliani, Fuks and Trump:
In May 2017, Giuliani Security & Safety inked a contract with the city administration of Kharkiv to streamline municipal emergency services, according to the company. A person familiar with the negotiations said Pavel Fuks, a Kharkiv native who had made a fortune in Russian real estate, paid the contract. Mr. Fuks didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Giuliani declined to comment on that arrangement.
About a decade earlier, Mr. Fuks had negotiated with Mr. Trump to license the Trump brand for a tower that Mr. Fuks was building, with other partners, in the Russian capital’s Moscow City, Mr. Fuks said at the time. The deal didn’t come together.
Bellingcat: the innovative data-driven investigators tracking the moves of the GRU military unit that paid off bounties in Afghanistan
Bellingcat is a pioneer in data journalism. They were the ones to find out the identities of the GRU members tasked with carrying out the the Skripal assassination in the UK. Two years later, it turns out it’s this unit that will have offered bounties for killings of American and British soldiers in Afghanistan. Before any of this exploded into the mainstream there was the work of Bellingcat.
They use location, government and other data, searching image databases and innovative means of gathering information and translating all of it into compelling true-spy-crime storytelling.
Their investigative articles are fascinating, detailed and go back to what many of us expect from journalism: gathering facts and putting stories together, with an added use of innovative technology.
The New York Times: Trump chose to do nothing when Russia offered bounties to kill American soldiers.
Earlier on Friday June 26, 2020 the New York Times published an article describing the bounty and the fact that Trump was briefed about and chose to do nothing. As Project Lincoln said: he stands with the troops. Just not OUR troops.
Russia Secretly Offered Afghan Militants Bounties to Kill U.S. Troops, Intelligence Says
WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The United States concluded months ago that the Russian unit, which has been linked to assassination attempts and other covert operations in Europe intended to destabilize the West or take revenge on turncoats, had covertly offered rewards for successful attacks last year.
The Unit that paid the bounty is the same one that carried out the Skripal poisoning in the UK
This GRU unit is the same that was involved in the Skripal assassination/poisoning among other subversive/murderous acts in Eastern European countries like Bulgaria.
The officials briefed on the matter said the government had assessed the operation to be the handiwork of Unit 29155, an arm of Russia’s military intelligence agency, known widely as the G.R.U. The unit is linked to the March 2018 nerve agent poisoning in Salisbury, England, of Sergei Skripal, a former G.R.U. officer who had worked for British intelligence and then defected, and his daughter.
Western intelligence officials say the unit, which has operated for more than a decade, has been charged by the Kremlin with carrying out a campaign to destabilize the West through subversion, sabotage and assassination. In addition to the 2018 poisoning, the unit was behind an attempted coup in Montenegro in 2016 and the poisoning of an arms manufacturer in Bulgaria a year earlier.
Before giant newspapers picked up on these stories, Bellingcat was there first. You can read more of Bellingcat’s articles related to GRU’s Unit 29155 here.
In 2018 a documentary was made about them called “Bellingcat: Truth in a post-truth world”

SCOTUS schedule, July 4th Costume and GRAND BYE TRUMP Celebration
Today is Wednesday, June 24th, 2020 and we are closer then ever to something unexpected and long hoped-for: the last days of the Trump administration. On several live streams i have discussed the strong possibility that Trump could leave sooner rather than later. This could happen under one condition: Trump’s taxes are revealed. SCOTUS, then, is of course at the center of this.
2020 SCOTUS calendar dates
SCOTUS calendar says that the last day in session is June 29 which is a Monday. Tomorrow, Thursday, could be the day when SCOTUS is going to make all this information public. My sense in they will likely decide against Trump on this matter and this will be the one significant even that will trigger his departure.
So there are three options for this information to come out: Tomorrow, Thursday June 25; Monday June 29 and, IF they extend their term, another possibility raised by journalists who have been covering the Supreme Court for a really long time, it could mean another day, Thursday July 02.
UPDATE FRI, JUNE 26, 6:35: SCOTUS DOES AS PREDICTED AND ADDS JULY 02 AS DAY FOR OPINIONS. YOU CAN VIEW THE SCOTUS JULY CALENDAR HERE: https://www.scotusblog.com/events/2020-07/
Conversation with Victoria, from the other side, and July 3rd
I mentioned Victoria passed away and on the live stream earlier today I talked about her and ‘talked to her’ and asked what she thought about trump leaving. She said something like “On the third day” which I then realized it could be July 3rd which would be a Friday.
I talked about July 02 meaning, next Thursday.
Victoria showed me an image of hundreds of letters and documents falling from the sky, burying trump and kicking him to the ground. Once he is kicked to the ground he looks around and decides to run. T-Run at last lol. Of course, this could only happen if SCOTUS does indeed decide to allow investigations into the President which is not a complicated question as you know.
The image of happiness: The Greatest July 04 ever
Victoria then gave me the image of an amazing July 04. We could be celebrating, even with all the chaos connected to COVID-19. Of course there are no guarantees that this could happen but my advice to you is, think of the costume you are going to wear and how you will celebrate the T-Run’s departure.
I am sewing more orange mice and putting together a new costume, plan your celebration. Even if it does NOT happen by July 4th, T-RUN is leaving and you might as well plan your own party for that special day.
UPDATE: Astrology aspects by Mary Ann S. for July 03, 2020 & Trump’s Taxes
[ Updated on Thursday June 25, 1:54pm EST ]
Mary Ann S left a comment earlier today under the video I made (above) on YouTube. According to her, the astrology of that day points to a perfect day for Trump’s taxes to be released.
OMG Rosie! I just looked up July 3, 2020 on an Astrology Program. It plays out perfectly at 10am for a ruling on Trump’s taxes! I did the chart for Washington, DC. The Moon overhead on that day will be on Trump’s Natal Moon in his natal chart 21 degrees of Sagittarius it will be opposing his Sun, north node and Uranus on that day. Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn and Jupiter in Capricorn Jupiter rules over Justice and Capricorn rules over the Government. This is opposing Trumps Venus and Saturn in Cancer. Funny Mars in Aries will be transiting Trump’s 8th house of Taxes and this will be opposite his Neptune in Libra in the second house of income. This would be the perfect Time for a Judge to rule on his taxes. I am starting to get very excited. Mercury is retrograde but goes direct on July 12, 2020. But this is going over his tax returns! Keeping my fingers crossed! That would be one Hell of a Fourth of July Celebration! 🥳🎉🎊
Make your own costume & the mouse fabric pattern
Here are the patterns for the mice I am wearing as a headband. The image below links to blog where I found the pattern for the mice i sewed and wore as a headband. I adapted the pattern btw but this is the link in if you are curious:
(Click on the image to navigate to the post with the pattern)
Cm’s Costume Idea:
After I wore the mice headband the other day, and mentioned that I needed to add a sinking ship to the costume, Cm, a patron, sent me a wonderful drawing. Isn’t that a brilliant drawing. Thank you CM! Time to plan your party and your costume.
Coronavirus vaccine & 'normalization' timeline, vs Dr. Fauci’s projections
A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with someone based in Florida who is in my group. She was asking me about large events in her area, connected to her profession. When will they have large events again, she asked. She lives near Naples, FL.
I did a month by month thing until I felt it would be gone. She was understandably upset and missing her grandchildren. I only saw her seeing her grandchildren who live in New York, on … EASTER. That’s right. Easter of 2021.
I told her I saw images based on her face wearing masks. When her mask was in place it meant the numbers were high and masks lowered or off meant the virus was gone.
COVID TIMELINE 2020-2021
This is the timeline for COVID infection waves.
JUNE 2020: High , mask on
JULY 2020: High , mask on
AUG 2020: Middle, mask lowered
SEP 2020: Low, mask lowered. Now in September, people will get excited and feel more confident which will then dramatically increase infection rates in October, November and December.
NOV 2020: High , mask on
DEC 2020: High , mask on. Sadly I do not think we will be able to travel to be with our families on Christmas, yet.
JAN 2021: Middle, mask lowered. At some point in January masks can be dropped by part of the population
FEB 2021: the remainder of the USA population will be vaccinated
MAR 2021: Life returns to ‘normal’
APRIL 2021: Travel and airline industry returns
Here’s why I told her. When I did month by month I saw that in January of 2021, reporters in her area in front of a nursing home saying something like now that the Coronavirus era is over, we can see the outcome and the deaths, who has survived.
Tonight I saw that Dr. Fauci made a similar projection. He thinks that vaccines could be ready by the end of the year. (Keep in mind that it would then take a while to fabricate, distribute and administer vaccine(s) to billions of people worldwide)
VACCINE DISTRIBUTION
This is what I saw in terms of a vaccine. I saw that in January, there will be the distribution of vaccines country wide, and they will go to the elderly and the at-risk population at first. Then, in February, we will all be getting it. Only by mid-march will we begin to be able to have fully normal lives. Even then it will take a while for travel to resume. In the case of C., for example, she would have to fly to New York. The airlines would only recuperate and resume operations once the population has been vaccinated against it. So April really.
