On Episode 33 of "Strange Bedfellows" I reported on the mysterious disappearance of my friend Russell "Texas" Bentley, who vanished from #Donetsk on April 8th. After 20 days of speculation as to whether Russell was dead or alive, it has now been confirmed by his wife Lyudmila that he was indeed murdered. The 64 year-old Bentley, an American citizen, left his #Austin, #Texas home in 2014 to fight for #Russia in the #Donbass region of #Ukraine. He joined the armed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic and served numerous combat missions. After aging out of military service, Russell worked as a reporter for #Sputnik television news. On the day he disappeared, Russell was on his way to investigate the scene of a Ukrainian shelling in his capacity as a journalist. He never returned. His white Niva car was later found burned and blown up at the brick factory in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk, almost at the front line. Inside were Russell's remains. His body was incinerated. Collected fragments were taken for DNA analysis to make a positive identification. After days of being stonewalled by local authorities, Russell's widow Lyudmila released a video statement in which she made a desperate appeal directly to Russian president Vladimir #Putin for help. After Lyudmila's video appeal to the president, "the matter was taken up at the top" by Moscow military authorities, who quickly arrested members from the 5th Tank Brigade of the Russian Federation. The still-unnamed alleged killers were said in a statement posted April 28th by Lyudmila on Russell's official Telegram channel to be "werewolf extortionists." ("Werewolves" are soldiers with loyalties to Ukraine inside the Russian armed forces.) The soldiers were apparently intending to rob Russell Bentley, thinking him a wealthy American, before killing him and attempting to dispose of his body. A criminal investigation has been opened into Bentley's violent and mysterious death. What we now know provides more questions than answers. On this edition of Maverick News we have a new interview with Russell's widow Lyudmila and her attorney with the latest details on the case.

My friend and fellow Austinite Russell "Texas" Bentley has been missing since April 8. Despite rumors and speculation about his mysterious disappearance, Russell's fate is still a mystery. On the day he went missing, Russell and his wife Lyudmila had been in line at a local government building in #Donetsk to deal with some administrative documents, when he went to go help civilians injured in a nearby attack by Ukrainian forces. But when his wife went looking for him she only found his car, with his baseball cap, glasses, and his phone, which was shattered. On April 16th his wife wrote on Russell's Telegram account that she had received "reliable and confirmed ironclad information" that her husband was kidnapped "and continues to be illegally detained by the tankers of the 5th Brigade of the Russian Federation Armed Forces." She pleaded with Russell's friends and supporters to appeal urgently to the governments of the Donetsk People's Republic and #Russia, the FSB, the Prosecutor General's Office, and the Ministries of Defense and Internal Affairs, to help her locate her husband, adding "perhaps, there is not much time." His wife posted again on Thursday, April 18th: "Today is the 10th day since Russell disappeared. To this day, I do not know his whereabouts,” she said. On Friday, reports began to emerge that seemingly confirmed our worst fears. Sputnik, who employed Russell as a war correspondent, released a statement written by Margarita Simonyan, the head of Russia Today TV, stating that Russell (call sign "Texas") was dead. Russell's former combat unit, the Vostok battalion, and a local official in #Donetsk also confirmed his death yesterday, adding that their information came from Russell's wife. The U.S. State Department has not confirmed this information, however. In a statement Friday, a spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports of a U.S. citizen missing in the Donetsk region in #Ukraine. Our ability to verify reports of incidents regarding U.S. citizens in Ukraine is extremely limited." The mystery deepened when Russell's wife and some of his friends spoke out today, saying that they could not -- and would not -- confirm that he was in fact deceased. Our Maverick News correspondent in #Crimea, Kevin Michelizzi, is a personal friend of the Bentleys and told us this morning he was furious about the premature reports of Russell's demise, adding that most of what we've been told is #FakeNews. This afternoon Russell's wife Lyudmila posted on Russell's official Telegram channel that "I have not seen him alive, nor his body, nor his remains. That's a fact. And yes, there is some insider information that is very not good." She thanked "the Wagner group guys for finding out what happened, how that happened, who they were, how many of them there were and their motive..." "I still hope for real operational professionalism and decency from all involved agencies," she said. Since leaving his #Austin, #Texas home ten years ago to volunteer for the Russian armed forces against what he called "the #Nazis in Ukraine," Russell was willing to lay down his life for a cause he believed in: the struggle against #fascism. Even though Russell had aged out of the armed forces a few years ago, he was still not afraid to put himself in dangerous situations; often running directly towards active combat zones to cover battles as a journalist, or to provide first aid to civilians injured by the constant shelling in Donetsk -- as he did in the moments before his mysterious disappearance on April 8. In an interview exactly one month before he vanished, Russell told journalist Patrick Henningsen on TNT Radio that Donetsk was swiftly becoming a hotzone of combat activity once again as NATO soldiers were infiltrating the area -- which may provide some clues as to his violent kidnapping and perhaps, his murder. At this point, it is probably safe to say we won't be seeing our friend "the #Donbass Cowboy" again. Who killed Russell Bentley? Was it the Ukrainians, who had his name on their infamous kill list? Was it the #DPR, who reportedly suspected him of being a #NATO spy? Was it Pro-Ukrainian Russian "Werewolves" who had a personal score to settle? Or perhaps a shadowy NATO special forces unit who black-bagged him? We may never know. All we do know for sure is that Russell "Texas" Bentley's life -- and his ultimate sacrifice -- was not in vain. Those of us who knew and loved him will miss his war stories, his guitar picking, his wry wit, and his encyclopedic knowledge of history. Although Russell and I were on opposite sides of the political spectrum (I'm a #libertarian; he was a #communist), we shared much in common: a deep love for our native Texas, our musical tastes, our #cannabis activism, and our mutual hatred of fascism. Tonight, Episode 33 of "Strange Bedfellows" is a tribute to my friend Russell. As today is 4/20, the annual #marijuana holiday, I couldn't think of a more appropriate time to bring you some selected highlights from my last interview with Russell on July 14, 2023. Here, he tells his fascinating life story, in his own words. If you never had the pleasure of getting to know Russell "Texas" Bentley, maybe tonight's show will make you wish you had. And if you did know "Tejas," this incredible conversation will serve as a remembrance of the beautiful human being we have apparently lost to the horrors of war.

#Russia's top security agency said Monday it has broken up what it called a "terrorist cell"in southern Russiawhose members had provided weapons and cash to suspected attackers of the #Moscow #Crocus concert hall. The Federal Security Service, or #FSB, said that on Sunday it detained four suspected members of the cell in the Russian province of Dagestan in the North Caucasus. The agency alleged that the suspects detained in Dagestan were involved in channeling funds and providing weapons to the gunmen who attacked the concert hall on Moscow's western edge on March 22, killing 144 people in the deadliest attack on Russian soil in two decades. The agency said the suspects are foreign nationals, without specifying their nationality. The suspected attackers of the Moscow concert hall arrested hours after the March 22 raid are citizens of the Central Asian nation of Tajikistan. The detention of four suspects in #Dagestan follows the arrest of the four suspected gunmen and seven others who were accused of involvement in the attack. An affiliate of the Islamic State (#ISIS) group claimed responsibility for the attack.President Vladimir #Putinacknowledged that "radical Islamists" conducted the raid, but alleged - without providing evidence - that #Ukraine and the West were involved, despite Kyiv's vehement denials. On tonight's edition of Maverick News we will tell you what we know (and don't know) about the Moscow terror attacks thus far, and try to separate fact from fiction. Join us LIVE at 9 PM!

Earlier this month, #Canada stunned the world when the nation's Parliament honored a Ukrainian former Nazi Waffen-SS soldier and gave him two standing ovations, in the presence of #Ukraine's president #Zelensky. How has the #NaziGate scandal's ripple effect impacted NATO's commitment to the Ukraine war effort? Are the Western allies starting to realize that funding and arming Nazis isn't a good look, especially during an election year in the United States? Will Canadian Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau be forced to resign over the scandal? I discussed this with Regis Tremblay (a former resident of Canada who now lives in Crimea) on a recent episode of his podcast.

Two weeks after a #Republican revolt ousted House Speaker McCarthy over #Ukraine war spending, the United States of America is still without a Speaker of the House. This is truly an unprecedented moment in our history. The lack of progress by Ukraine to push Russian forces back has created an opening for some members in Congress to question why the U.S. should keep sending money. A flank of Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner in the 2024 race for the White House, is increasingly opposed to sending more money overseas. That faction was pivotal in getting $6 billion in Ukraine funding stripped from the last-minute 45-day funding bill that prevented a government shutdown in early October. Likewise, some European allies, including #Poland, have begun to pull back on their support for the war, citing the need to prioritize their own defenses. On Sunday after the temporary spending bill was passed, President Joe Biden warned that the cuts could hit Ukraine at a critical time. “We cannot under any circumstances allow America’s support for Ukraine to be interrupted,” Biden said, urging Congress to negotiate an aid package as soon as possible. The tide of American public opinion is turning against the war in Ukraine, and the never-ending flow of money and weapons to fund a losing war at a time when Americans are struggling to keep up with inflation and a cost of living crisis at home. Recent polls show that President #Biden is in trouble, swiftly losing support among #Democrats while #Trump edges a lead of 3-5%. Then there's the wild card -- #Kennedy, an independent antiwar candidate who has pledged to negotiate #peace between Ukraine and #Russia as a top priority of his administration. #Trump has also promised to end the war "within 24 hours" if elected next year. Clearly, this is a message voters want to hear. In this election year, has the unpopular war in Ukraine become a metaphorical stone around Biden's neck, dragging him down to defeat?

On September 22, as Ukrainian president #Zelensky was visiting #Canada, a special honor was given in Parliament to a man named Yaroslav Hunka. President #Zelensky -- and all 338 members of the Canadian Parliament -- rose to their feet and honored this 98 year-old Ukrainian with not one, but two standing ovations. Little did they know he was a Nazi collaborator in #WWII (or so they said). As it turns out, Hunka served with pride in the dreaded #Waffen-SS, #Galicia division -- a unit known for its especially savage brutality in war crimes of the #Holocaust. How did this former Nazi find safe haven in Canada all these many decades? How could Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau, and every member of Parliament NOT know his background? Now that the Speaker of the House of Commons has resigned, who will be next? And what will be the ultimate impact of this incident in the future of this war between #Ukraine and #Russia? We unpack that and more in this #No2NATONo2War panel discussion with George Galloway, Patrick Henningsen, and Niall McCrae. Original air date in the U.K.: September 28, 2023.

Our “Best of Maverick News” series continues with this classic from the archives. (Original air date: March 5, 2023) In Part 2 of our interview with #Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy, he gave a detailed history of how Ukrainian nationalism first emerged hundreds of years ago, why they developed an unholy alliance with #Nazi Germany in the 20th Century, and later worked hand-in-hand with Western intelligence services such as the CIA and Britain’s MI6. Tonight, in Part 3, we discuss the prevalence of #Nazism in #Ukraine in the 21st Century, starting with that often-asked question: “how can President #Zelensky be a Nazi if he’s Jewish?” We learn why Ukraine officially celebrates Nazi war collaborators such as Stepan #Bandera as national heroes today, why they still have racial purity laws and teach eugenics race theory in schools. Ambassador Polyanskiy also explains how all of the Ukrainian #Nazis escaped prosecution at #Nuremberg after #WWII: they were recruited and protected by Western intelligence, who used them to fight the #USSR during the #ColdWar. And what about the notorious “kill list” Ukraine publishes online of it’s enemies, marking those they’ve killed as “liquidated?” Ambassador Polyanskiy is on the list, along with numerous other American, British, and Canadians. We talk about the recent addition of NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons, whose name was placed on the Ukrainian state-linked ‘Mirotvorets’ (Peacemaker) hit list for his reporting in #Crimea. We asked Ambassador Polyanskiy to respond to allegations of Russian interference in American and Canadian elections (aka the “#Russiagate” hoax). Russia recently introduced a draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council calling for an independent investigation of what happened to the Nord Stream pipelines. We ask Ambassador Polyanskiy to explain Russia’s position on the #Nordstream explosions: mechanical malfunction or sabotage? We go back in time to the last time the US blew up a Russian pipeline carrying natural gas to Europe — in 1982, when the CIA sabotaged the Trans-Siberian Pipeline, and ask the Ambassador his thoughts on it. Was the Trans-Siberian pipeline sabotage a blueprint for Nordstream, exactly 40 years later? Finally, Ambassador Polyanskiy addresses the nuclear warmongering, and clarifies Russia’s doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons. * Your donations make this show possible.

In part 2 of our interview with Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations for the Russian Federation, we take a deep dive into the history of Ukrainian nationalism -- the roots of the current conflict between #Ukraine and #Russia. Ambassador Polyanskiy explains that the #UkraineWar didn't start in 2022, or even in 2014. It started hundreds of years ago. Polyanskiy details the FULL story of how the Ukrainian nationalists came to collaborate with #Nazi Germany before #WWII -- an incredible story you've probably never heard before. He outlines the 10 core principals of Ukrainian nationalism: what they believe, why they consider Russians their enemy, and the deep #Russophobia that led them to slaughter tens of thousands of Russians during #WWI and the Russian Civil War period of 1919-21. The ethnic cleansing of #communists following the #Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Jews, Hungarians, and Poles was again repeated during the #Holocaust of #WWII by the #NazisInUkraine. The Ukrainian nationalists were the original #Nazis, years before there was a Nazi Party in Germany; long before anyone ever heard of Adolf #Hitler. "Ukrainians were some of the first promoters of this racial theory," Polyanskiy explains. "It just so happened that the Germans were thinking along the same lines at the same time, and had the same enemies. So they were destined to be natural allies." Their slogan was -- and still is -- "Ukraine for Ukrainians," enforced by strict racial purity laws (which still exist in Ukraine), eugenics, and enforced careful breeding to create their own "master race." All other inferior races must be exterminated. Ambassador Polyanskiy explains how Nazi war criminal Stepan #Bandera became known as a national hero in today's Ukraine, and his work for Western intelligence services (Britain's MI6 and the CIA) after World War II and during the Cold War. "Many Westerners do not understand this history," #Polyanskiy says. "But it is vital to our understanding of where we are today, and why this conflict is happening now."

On this “Best of Maverick News” episode we welcomed Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations from #Russia for an in-depth interview. In Part 1, we talk about the era of #Gorbachev, #Reagan, and #Perestroika; the fall of the Soviet Union, and those hopeful post-Cold War years when it seemed that the United States and Russia could at last enjoy peace and friendship with each other. “I thought it was the moment of our common triumph,” Ambassador Polyanskiy says of the end of the Cold War a generation ago. “Winds of Change…like that song by the Scorpions when they performed it in #Moscow. We had very high hopes. We thought that #NATO might be dissolved, or that there would be no more NATO expansion. But, as it turns out, we were deceived by the West. This sense of victory was stolen from us.” “We believed in empty promises,” Polyanskiy explained. “Most of those promises were coming from the United States, who wasn’t going to keep them.” “We did everything in our power to avoid the situation in #Ukraine that’s happening now,” the Ambassador said, “we did not ever want this to escalate militarily.” Ambassador Polyanskiy stresses that the conflict didn’t begin in 2022. It started long before the Maidan coup of 2014. Western meddling in Ukraine began in the early Cold War period, when the CIA and Britain’s MI6 worked with Ukrainian nationalist #Nazi collaborators such as Stepan #Bandera attempting to create regime change in Soviet Russia — these efforts continue to the present day. Despite the Cold War ending more than 30 years ago, “The United States never abandoned the dream of tearing Ukraine and other former Soviet Republics away from Russia, and creating a sense of emnity between nations that once were all brothers,” he says. “To fully understand why Russia is doing this Special Military Operation, you really must understand the roots of the problem,” Polyanskiy said. “So that we can work together to solve this crisis.” * Your donations make this show possible.

Russian authorities accused #Ukraine of launching a drone attack on #Moscow early Monday that saw one of the aircraft fall near the Defense Ministry’s main headquarters, while the Russian military launched new strikes on port infrastructure in southern Ukraine. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties when the drones struck two nonresidential buildings. The Defense Ministry claimed that the military jammed both attacking drones, forcing them to crash. Russian media reported that one of the drones fell on the Komsomolsky highway near Moscow’s center, close to the main Defense Ministry building. Another drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting its upper floors. Russian authorities said that another Ukrainian drone attack early Monday struck an ammunition depot in northern #Crimea and forced a halt in traffic on a major highway and a railway crossing the Black Sea peninsula. On Saturday, a previousdrone attack on Crimeahit another ammunition depot, sending huge plumes of black smoke skyward and also forcing the evacuation of residents, Russian forces, meanwhile, struck port infrastructure on the Danube River in southern Ukraine with exploding drones early Monday, wounding four workers and destroying a grain hangar and storage for other cargo, the Ukrainian military said. It said that Ukrainian forces downed three of the attacking drones. The strike was the latest ina barrage of attacksthat has damaged critical port infrastructure in southern Ukraine in the past week. The Kremlin has described the strikes as retribution for last week’s Ukrainian strike on the crucial #KerchBridge linking #Russia with Crimea. Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum via video link over the weekend, Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy called the bridge a legitimate target for Ukraine, noting that Russia has used it to ferry military supplies and it must be “neutralized.” Russia haslaunched repeated attackson Odesa, a key hub forexporting grain. On Sunday, at least one person was killed and 22 others wounded inan attack on Odesathat severely damaged 25 landmarks across the city, including the Transfiguration Cathedral. I spoke with my American friend Kevin Michellizzi who now lives in Crimea early Sunday morning, just a few hours after the latest attack. Kevin had a loud awakening at 3 a.m. with 52 missiles flying over his house! Just another day in Crimea, he says...

A trove of official CIA documents declassified in 1998 under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act reveal the Agency’s close ties to Nazi war criminals in #Ukraine, including the notorious “hero of Ukraine” Stepan #Bandera and his second-in-command, Mykola Lebed (personally recruited into the CIA by Allen Dulles), among others in the OUN-B and UPA. Thousands of documents detail how the CIA armed, funded, trained, and used Ukranian nationalist insurgents to do anti-communist propaganda campaigns, wage guerilla war, and commit acts of terrorism against the Soviet Union during the Cold War from 1947-1991. I visited the Kim Iversen Show to talk about this incredible story which has been quietly buried in the National Archives for more than 20 years — and most importantly, to discuss the implications of America’s support of Ukraine in the current war with #Russia.

40 years before the #NordStream pipeline explosions, the United States CIA blew up #Russia's Trans-Siberian pipeline, which carried natural gas from the #Soviet Union to Western Europe. The tremendous blast was the largest non-nuclear explosion ever seen on Earth from space. Then, everyone simply forgot about it. Everyone except a young graduate student at Harvard named Antony #Blinken. In 1987, Blinken's college thesis was published as his first book. "Ally Versus Ally: America, Europe, and the Siberian Pipeline Crisis." (Read the full book free at the Internet Archive here.) This small book, published only in a limited edition 35 years ago -- was probably only read by policy wonks and international lawyers back then. They certainly took notice of this bright young man who is now our current Secretary of State. I've read Blinken's rare book, long out of print (I'm sure Secretary Blinken would prefer it stay that way) and have a bombshell report to share with you about how history does indeed repeat. I have been reporting on the obvious similarities of the 1982 Trans-Siberian pipeline sabotage to the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines since last October -- shortly after the pipelines exploded. Tonight, I will take you back in time for an in-depth look at how President Ronald Reagan blew up the Trans-Siberian Pipeline in 1982, with a mighty assist from the Canadian government. As it turns out, Secretary Blinken was quite the prophet 35 years ago! His book is the blueprint for how the U.S. and #NATO allies conspired to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022. Did the #Trudeau government of #Canada play a role in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage this time, just as they did in 1982? We will examine some rather damning circumstantial evidence pointing to #Ottawa possibly sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline's turbines about a month before the explosion. We will hear from Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Joe Biden, the State Department's Ned Price, Russia's United Nations Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy, and legendary journalist Seymour Hersh on how the whole sabotage caper most likely unfolded, and talk about the dangerous geostragetic game the U.S. is playing by attacking the essential infrastructure of a NATO ally (Germany).

On Episode 6 of Strange Bedfellows, I spoke to Russell Bentley, a Texas-born former American soldier now living in (and fighting for) Russia. We talked about the history of Ukrainian nationalism, predating the alliance with Nazi Germany. Long before Nazi Germany even existed; before Nazism had a name, or a political party, it had a distinct ideology -- a kind of genocidal racism and rabid anti-#communism that fueled the pogroms against Jews and #communists in #Ukraine after World War One and the #Bolshevik revolution. The Ukrainian nationalists were the O.G. #Nazis. The original gangsters. As their ideological and biological descendants continue this hundred-year war against their former Soviet neighbors, Bentley says that many of his fellow #Donbass soldiers defending themselves from the #NazisInUkraine don't trust the Russian government anymore, either. Being a #communist himself, Bentley views modern day capitalist Russia as a country ruled by oligarchs and war profiteers who are making billions off the prolonged military operation. Bentley told me that "the greatest danger to #Russia's hopes for victory in this war against 21st Century #fascism is "the parasites and collaborators in Moscow. They are the enemies of the future of humanity." As he sees it, "this is a war between the billionaire classes and the rest of us." (This is an excerpt of our 2-hour interview.

Even after the revolt that Russian President Vladimir #Putin called a "mutiny," the #WagnerGroup is still indispensable to #Russia's special military operation in #Ukraine, says a former DPR soldier who knows many of the #Wagner fighters personally. On the latest episode of the Strange Bedfellows podcast Russell "Texas" Bentley -- an American who joined the #Donetsk People's Republic armed forces in 2014 to fight against Ukraine -- told me that the so-called "coup" of June 24 is not at all what it seems, and certainly not how it is being reported by the Western press. Bentley has been in the trenches with #WagnerPMC on many occasions over the years, and has great insight into what is really happening behind the veil of secrecy surrounding the mutiny.

The Center for Countering #Disinformation (CCD) (Ukrainian: Центр протидії дезінформації) is a working body of the National Security and Defense Council of #Ukraine, funded by U.S. taxpayers. The Center “ensures the implementation of measures to counteract current and projected threats to Ukraine’s national security and national interests in the information sphere, ensuring Ukraine’s information security, identifying and counteracting disinformation, effectively countering propaganda, destructive information influences and campaigns, and preventing attempts to manipulate public opinion.” (i.e., censoring narratives that don’t please the government of #Ukraine.) In July 2022 the Center for Countering Disinformation published a list of persons accused of promoting messages similar to Russian propaganda. Journalist Glenn Greenwald, included in the list, called it “McCarthyite idiocy.” Others included on the list are former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Rand Paul, Tucker Carlson, Pink Floyd band member Roger Waters, and our guest, Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter. Although the most recent October 2022 list of alleged “Russian Propagandists” was deleted from the Ukrainian government website (for the second time), it can be viewed at the Internet Archive. The list may no longer be public, but rest assured it still exists, and is still being used to censor #FreeSpeech rights of American and Canadian citizens. This Maverick News interview was conducted by journalists Rick Walker in Canada, and Lori Spencer in the United States. Catch more of my archived interviews with Scott in my Scott Ritter playlist.

Episode 6 of the "Strange Bedfellows" podcast takes us to #Donetsk, #Russia where we meet Russell "Texas" Bentley -- affectionately known as "the #Donbas Cowboy." Russell and I come from entirely different political backgrounds. I'm a longtime #libertarian; he's a #communist. Yet, we have much in common: we are both Texans, musicians, have many mutual friends in common, and we are both Americans. Despite our political differences, we agree more than we disagree. Russell Bentley was born in #Texas in 1960, served in the US Army in the 1980’s, and always had a keen interest in politics and history. After the coup in Kiev in 2014, and the subsequent war crimes and atrocities committed against Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens by the US-backed Ukrainian Army and neo-nazi death squads, Russell moved to Donetsk in late 2014 and joined the defense forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic. After serving a year in VOSTOK Battalion and KHAN Spetsnaz Battalion, Russell made the transition to war correspondent and human aid volunteer. Nine years later, he continues his work from the city of Donetsk on the frontlines of the Donbass War. Russell is married and has a small house with a big garden in the Petrovsky District. Russell is a proud citizen of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Russian Federation.

Scott Ritter, the controversial former U.N. Weapons Inspector in Iraq and post-Soviet #Russia, says that unlike Barack #Obama, when Vladimir #Putin draws a red line, he intends to enforce it. We also discuss the ongoing standoff between Russia and #Ukraine over the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant which has been subject to artillery and missile attacks for months, raising the risk of a nuclear emergency.

In April 1945 — before the surrender of Nazi Germany; before WW II had ended — Winston Churchill had an idea: why not team up with the Nazis and build an army to invade Britain’s ally, the Soviet Union? Churchill instructed his Joint Planning Military Staff to draft an invasion plan. Imagine how this strategic meeting went: “Yes, splendid. We shall invade the country who just saved our butts from the Nazis, using Nazi POW soldiers, and recruit the Americans to lend a hand! Better yet, let’s convince the Americans to drop that new super-duper bomb on the Russians! I mean, they have to try it out somewhere, let’s nuke a few Soviet cities!” No one dared tell him this was a REALLY BAD IDEA. No one dared say, “but Winston, the Soviets are our ALLIES.” Instead, they returned with an invasion plan called OPERATION UNTHINKABLE (Because it WAS “unthinkable” to stab one’s ally in the back), and it was approved by Prime Minister Winston Churchill on May 22, 1945 — just two weeks after V-E Day. The stated object was “to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and British Empire. The goal was “the elimination of Russia” as a country. Churchill’s military brass reported that despite the Red Army’s crushing defeat of the Nazi war machine, beating the Russians in battle would be easy-peasy for the British and Americans if they turned against their ally. “A quick success might induce the Russians to submit to our will at least for the time being; but it might not. That is for the Russians to decide. If they want total war, they are in a position to have it.” Wait…what? TOTAL WAR? Didn’t we just finish a World War that devastated most of Europe and still haven’t finished that war in the Pacific yet? Now that #FDR was dead (President Franklin #Roosevelt had died on April 12), there was no one to tell #Churchill NO, we are NOT going to invade and nuke the Soviet Union. The new President Harry #Truman and some of his top generals gave the plan serious consideration, although General Dwight #Eisenhower thought it madness. OPERATION UNTHINKABLE was so secret the documents were not released to the public until 1998. We asked Scott Ritter, former USMC and Chief UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq and post-Soviet #Russia if he’d ever heard of OPERATION UNTHINKABLE. His answer just might surprise you!

Both #Ukraine and #Russia are stoking fears of a massive disaster at Ukraine’s nuclear power plant — the largest in Europe — even as independent experts see no evidence of an impending attack. Worries of a nuclear catastrophe are compounded by the situation’s similarities with the dam breach in Ukraine last month, when both #Kyiv and #Moscow accused each other of planning attacks before its collapse. And even if neither side attacks the plant deliberately, the Russian-occupied #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant could be caught in the crossfire as Ukraine pushes forward in its counteroffensive across the eastern front. Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky stressed Tuesday that his intelligence indicates Russian troops “placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.” “Perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant. Perhaps they have some other scenario,” Zelensky said in an address. “But in any case, the world sees — can’t but see — that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia and no one else.” Russian officials in turn have accused Ukrainians of preparing to drop bombs with radioactive waste on the plant. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claimed in a Telegram post that because Ukraine was carrying out drills to prepare for a radiation leak, they would soon attack it. For months, the International Atomic Energy Agency has warned of another potential nuclear disaster brewing at the plant, which Russia has occupied since last March. Russia and Ukraine have traded blame for shelling that has repeatedly hit structures around the site, even as #IAEA personnel are stationed there. #Zaporozhye Region joined #Russia last year after the people voted in a referendum. We will show you video of several attacks on the nuclear power plant that have happened over the past year on tonight’s show, and compare the vast differences in how the Russian media and the mainstream Western media covered this dangerous, escalating situation.

On this edition of Maverick News, we sat down for a lengthy debriefing with our man on the ground in #Crimea, Kevin Michelizzi, an information and cyberwarfare specialist. Kevin was there at #Rostov, and later #Moscow, on June 24 during the #WagnerGroup mutiny, and saw events unfold firsthand. His sources inside the Russian Defense Ministry reveal a story that completely contradicts the Western media narrative. But is it convincing? Watch and decide for yourself.

According to documents declassified under the 1998 #Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, Stepan #Bandera -- a notorious Ukrainian war criminal -- was a CIA asset with the cryptonym CASSOWARY1. Bandera's associates all had CASSOWARY code names, all were CIA assets. In this excerpt from a recent interview with Welsh Republic podcast, I explain how the United States and British intelligence protected the #NazisInUkraine from prosecution at #Nuremberg after #WWII and hired them as spies against #Russia during the #ColdWar. The origins of the current war in #Ukraine can be found in these thousands of pages of documents that were kept secret for over 50 years.

In a recent interview with the Welsh Republic podcast, we discussed the request by #Poland to deploy nuclear weapons on its territory. We also talked about alarming recent reports of a coming "false flag" event at the #Zaporizhzhia #nuclear power plant, and who might ultimately be responsible for explosives found atop the plant's roof this week. The Ukrainian military claimed on Tuesday that #Russia wasplanning a "provocation"that would take place "in the nearest future," alleging that "objects resembling explosive devices" were recently spotted being placed on the roof of the facility. A Russian nuclear adviser claimed on the same day that Ukraine was planning to attack the plant on Wednesday using "high-precision, long-range weapons." Our conversation concludes with our projections for how and when this war in #Ukraine will ultimately end, and perhaps most importantly, if, how, and when #Nazism will finally be eradicated for good in that country. I argue that without a program of denazification, peace between Russia and their #Nazi neighbors will not last.

USintelligence agencieslearned weeks ago that the#WagnerGroup was planning an insurrection, according to a new report. Multiple US officials toldThe Washington Post,thatintelligence agencies learned in mid-June that the Russian mercernary group, led byYevgeny Prigozhin, was planning an armed rebellion to take out the country’s military leaders. “There were enough signals to be able to tell the leadership … that something was up,” an unnamed US intelligence official told thePost, referring to the White House. “So I think they were ready for it.” It appears the Russians were in fact aware in advance and ready, evidenced by the quick and peaceful end of this so-called "coup." But the question lingers: were U.S. intelligence officials manipulating #Prigozhin and #Wagner behind the scenes, hoping to use Wagner Group forces to effect regime change in #Russia and topple #Putin from power? I discussed that possible scenario on the Welsh Republic podcast this week. Listen!

On this edition of Maverick News, we analyze the various and sundry fake news stories that the Western media -- in their haste to declare the #Putin regime over in #Russia -- completely invented out of thin air during the "coup" that never materialized. One by one, every story reported about the Wagner Group's brief (and ultimately insignificant) rebellion was proven to be #fakenews this week.

On this edition of Maverick News, we analyze the dizzying events that have taken place in Russia over the past week. After months of feuding with Russia’s military chiefs, Yevgeny #Prigozhin,head of the feared PMC #WagnerGroup, stepped up his fight and ordered his mercenaries to seize the port city of #Rostov Saturday. They crossed the border with #Ukraine and were ready to go “all the way” against the Russian military, the Wagner boss said. Prigozhinmutiniedagainst the Russian high command and captured the country’s 10th largest city before marching his fighters towards the capital, #Moscow. But the Wagner convoy stopped within 200km (124 miles) of Moscow, after a deal was seemingly struck with the help of Belarusian President Alexander #Lukashenko. Prigozhin was told he could go into exile in Belarus and charges against him would be dropped if he ended his mutiny. The spectacle this weekend baffled observers of the #Russia-Ukraine war as well as Russians themselves. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday blasted organizers of a weekend revolt, the gravest threat yet to his power, as traitors who played into the hands of Ukraine’s government and its allies. Speaking in a stern tone and looking tired in a five-minute TV address near midnight, #Putin sought toproject stability. He tried to strike a balance between criticizing the uprising’s perpetrators to prevent another crisis, and not antagonizing the bulk of the mercenaries and their hardline supporters, some of whom are incensed at the Kremlin’s handling of the situation. We will show you President Putin's address to the nation and discuss the numerous #fakenews reports surrounding the events Western pundits falsely described as a "coup," as well as how this rebellion might affect the Russian military -- and the Wagner #mercenaries -- going forward.

We told you so. When the #Nordstream pipelines exploded on September 26, 2022, the song every Western mainstream media outlet sang in unison was, "#Putin blew up his own pipelines." On Maverick News, we told you from day one that Putin didn't blow up his own pipelines. (Only now is the mainstream media narrative changing to admit that there's no evidence of #Russia sabotaging the #Nordstreampipeline.) Instead, we told you at the time what all available evidence pointed to: that the U.S. and #NATO most likely took out the pipelines. We stand by our reporting to this day. Here's some of our original coverage from September, 2022 -- in those critical days right after the sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and 2. We wanted to show you this historic broadcast again, documenting a critical turning point in the Russia/#Ukraine conflict. When the history of the #UkraineWar is written, let the record show that Maverick News got the story right, when most of our media colleagues got it wrong.

This week on Maverick News we spoke to Esha Krishnaswamy (aka Esha K.)-- host of the Historicly podcast, writer for The Grayzone, Salon, and many others. Esha is an American citizen now living in St. Petersberg, #Russia. She is currently writing a book on the history of the former #SovietUnion. In Part 2 of our interview, Esha compares living in Russia now to her former life in the United States. We talk about Russia's cost of living, the effect of Western #sanctions, #inflation, #crime, #homelessness, and overall quality of life, which she says is far better in Russia than in the U.S. today. We also delve into how the Russian people feel about President Vladimir #Putin and the Special Military Operation in #Ukraine. Be sure to catch Part 1 of this interview in my "Ukraine War" playlist.

#Mirotvorets, (English translation: "Peacemaker") which claims to be based in“Warsaw, Poland and Langley, Virginia”– the headquarters of the CIA – is a notorious website that posts private information of individuals labeled enemies of #Ukraine without any process or trial. It was established in August 2014, as #Kiev launched its“anti-terrorist operation”against civilians in #Donbass, and allegedly maintains ties with Ukrainian and Western security services. “This kill list is maintained by the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior, which lists an address in Langley, Virginia, has an IP in Brussels,”saidAmerican political activist Jackson Hinkle, who was also added to the database on Wednesday. Hinkle noted that Mirotvorets celebrated last year’s assassination of Russian journalist Darya Dugina, which US intelligence has reportedlyblamedon sections of the Ukrainian government. On March 3 NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons has been placed on the Ukrainian state-linked ‘Mirotvorets’ kill list for“crimes”against the country. The government in Kiev has also announced it is investigating theBritish journalist after he filed a report from #Crimea. “Visiting the temporarily occupied Crimea from the territory of the Russian Federation is a violation of the legislation of Ukraine,”Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said. Meanwhile, the Mirotvorets website has published a photo of Simmons and his personal details, accusing the reporter of“violating Ukraine’s sovereignty,”participating in Russian propaganda, and“attempted legalization of the occupation.” Several prominent people were killed after the site declared them public enemies, including writer and historian Oles Buzina and politician Oleg Kalashnikov. Western media outletsmostly ignoredits existence until 2016, when Mirotvorets targeted dozens of journalists and human right activists for daring to operate in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. The move drew condemnation from the OSCE, which declared it“simply unacceptable for journalists to be threatened for what they say or write.” More recently, Mirotvorets has targeted Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, retired US diplomatHenry Kissinger, and rock musicianRoger Waters, for deviating from the official narratives about the conflict. In addition, several of our regular guests on Maverick News are on the list, including former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, journalists John Mark Dougan and Eva Bartlett, and Dmitry Polyanskiy, #Russia's Ambassador to the United Nations. The US and its allies have continued to send weapons and money to Ukraine, claiming Kiev is fighting for“democracy”and“freedom.” On this episode of Maverick News, we discuss the Ukrainian kill list.

On this edition of Maverick News, we profile two powerful female leaders on the rise: Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (the granddaughter of a Ukrainian #Nazi collaborator), and #Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin. (The "Nazi Nancys") Marin initially made a big splash in 2019 when she became the youngest elected Prime Minister in the world. But more recently she's become better known for her party girl antics and alcohol-fueled all-night raves. Despite the scandals, Marin says she's not going to change her wild ways -- because she's simply having too much fun. While Marin has her fun, her people are suffering record inflation, a cost of living crisis and an economic crisis due to the #UkraineWar -- a war Marin wholeheartedly supports. This week PM Marin visited #Ukraine and hung out with President #Zelensky (imagine those two partying together!), and attended a funeral for Dmitry Kotsiubailo, a well-known leader of Right Sector, another Ukrainian #NeoNazi battalion. We will show you footage of her good times in Ukraine, smiling happily for the news cameras while a generation of young Ukrainians march off to their deaths. Marin doesn't seem at all disturbed by it. In fact, she appears to be having the time of her life. We also discuss Canada's Chrystia Freeland, Deputy ot Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau. #fascism runs deep in the family tree with Freeland. Her grandfather Mikhailo Chomiak was editor-in-chief of Krakivski Visti—a daily newspaper published by the #Bandera-aligned Ukrainian Central Committee. Freeland was taught from an early age to hate Russian people -- a belief handed down through generations. For example, her Grandpa Chomiak was all but delirious in the June 23, 1941 issue announcing the launching of what it called a “holy war” against the “antichrist.” (#Russia) On a recent visit to her hometown, Deputy PM Freeland was confronted by an angry Albertan man who called her a "traitorous fuckin' bitch" -- and the video quickly went viral. We will show you that video and talk about how the establishment closed ranks to protect her from the opinions of the Canadian people. Last year, Freeland took part in the Toronto Ukrainian Festival Parade in Toronto glorifying another Ukrainian Nazi collaborator she worships as a hero, Stepan #Bandera. She was photographed holding a red-and-black banner representing The Right Sector neo-Nazi paramilitary organisation. Spare us that "Slava Ukraini" stuff, ladies. We know what it really means -- and you're not fooling anybody.

40 years before the #NordStream pipeline explosions, the United States CIA blew up #Russia's Trans-Siberian pipeline, which carried natural gas from the #Soviet Union to Western Europe. The tremendous blast was the largest non-nuclear explosion ever seen on Earth from space. Then, everyone simply forgot about it. Everyone except a young graduate student at Harvard named Antony #Blinken. In 1987, Blinken's college thesis was published as his first book. "Ally Versus Ally: America, Europe, and the Siberian Pipeline Crisis." This small book, published only in a limited edition 35 years ago -- was probably only read by policy wonks and international diplomats back then. They certainly took notice of this bright young man who is now our current Secretary of State. I just finished reading Blinken's rare book, long out of print (I'm sure Secretary Blinken would prefer it stay that way) and have a bombshell report to share with you on Maverick News tonight. I have been reporting on the obvious similarities of the 1982 Trans-Siberian pipeline sabotage to the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines since last October -- shortly after the pipelines exploded. All my research culminates in this special 2-hour report on Maverick News. Tonight, I will take you back in time for an in-depth look at how President Ronald Reagan blew up the Trans-Siberian Pipeline in 1982, with a mighty assist from the Canadian government. As it turns out, Secretary Blinken was quite the prophet 35 years ago! His book is the blueprint for how the U.S. and #NATO allies conspired to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022. Did the #Trudeau government of #Canada play a role in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage this time, just as they did in 1982? We will examine some rather damning circumstantial evidence pointing to #Ottawa possibly sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline's turbines about a month before the explosion. We will hear from Justin #Trudeau, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Joe #Biden, the State Department's Ned Price, Russia's United Nations Ambassador Dmitry #Polyanskiy, and legendary journalist Seymour #Hersh on how the whole sabotage caper most likely unfolded, and talk about the dangerous geostragetic game the U.S. is playing by attacking the essential infrastructure of a #NATO ally (Germany).
