“Hi, I’m UNSC Luke 1021. I went to the article Anti-Corruption Foundation, which you created. Reading through the article, I got the feeling that the main editor was related to the topic. I’m just wondering if you are closely connected to the article topic (the ACF), because I have to tag it as such. UNSC Luke 1021 (talk) 14:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)”

The reply was a simple “No, I am not AFC”, which tells me Nevalny’s minions were behind both questionable articles. As I’ve been forced to say before, these excavations are all ammunition for a future book. As a final note on this for now, this Kap677-2 person also ran into Wikipedia editor scrutiny when trying to edit another article entitled “He Is Not Dimon to You”, which is of course about the Russian documentary film by the Navalny people about alleged corruption by Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev. This article, created by an anonymous Wikipedia user whose IP address leads to Odessa in Ukraine, shows the length and depth at which NATO and western intelligence operatives alongside Ukraine and Baltic nation extremists are embedded against Russia interests. Continuing for now, I must reflect on who the real social media aggressors are. The sources of CNN and U.S. Senate proofs are becoming more well-known without my interjection.[49], [50] Please see reports on U.S. State department spending more than $1.6 million for Voice of America and USAID on Facebook alone.

Discounting the millions of dollars spent by corporate or government controlled western media on social media platforms, efforts by western intelligence agencies and “so-called” NATO trolls dwarf the pitiful fairytale U.S. Senators and the technocrats have come up with. Since the end of this book was not intended to be about digital intelligence insurgents and Big Brother, I’ll simply call the reader’s attention to an effort by western intelligence that the Russians now lovingly refer to as “Pokemons in epaulets”. It turns out, my FSB colleague Stanislav Stanislavic has been on the trail of infiltrators, spies, and saboteurs of the Russia message on social media for some time now. Stanislavic’s role in Alpha Team was focused on new digital intelligence and even countermeasures, if I recall correctly. So, once the over the top social media investigations began in September and accelerated in October, I asked Stanislav (Stas) for any information at all on the alleged St. Petersburg troll factory, the Internet Research Agency, and anything else pertinent to the mudslinging effort from the west. As fate would have it, the former FSB colonel had just completed an investigation into western intelligence services and so-called “NATO trolls” creating bogus identities on Facebook for the purpose of intelligence gathering and sewing discontent in Russia, and etc. According to a document Stanislav shared with me entitled “Pokemons: Fake Secret/Special Service Men” (ПОКЕМОНЫ: САМОЗВАНЦЫ «ОТ СПЕЦСЛУЖБ) details the investigation by former Alpha Team members into the true identities of imposters. The was an investigation by the organization of veterans of the FSB’s Team Alpha, was shared in interviews in October of 2017 with the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation concerned about the “Pokemon” issue.

Once again, I am forced to leave off deeper revelations here. This Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole is deep and expansive. As a last discovery here, I know it will not surprise most readers to know that the source of the “breaking” CNN story on the financier of the alleged “troll factory” is none other than CNN’s and CNBC’s Russian partner RBC TV, the business news channel formerly run by Yelizaveta Osetinskaya, who joins Alex Navalny and others as top Putin haters. And the hole does not lead to many reputable western media entities, I will assure you. A Business Inside piece with the stunning title “’Our task was to set Americans against their own government’: New details emerge about Russia’s trolling operation” links to and cites these unfounded stories as if they were religious icons. Even a shallow investigation into facts refutes nearly everything the U.S. Senate has in front of it. At least concerning “who” bankrolled an imaginary troll farm bent on disrupting America.[51]

Summing up here we find a multitude of facts, logic, and probability pointing to a rather simple explanation for recent moves by U.S. lawmakers, technocrat business interests, and their media partners against Putin and Russia. If I were CNN, I would put the story to readers like this. “Exclusive: Globalists tied to failed Russian oligarchs make our laws”, or something to this effect. A CNN story of this type would probably link Alex Nevalny with ousted oligarch and alleged Russian mafioso Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who would in turn be linked to Rothschild banking interests that failed in Russia because of Putin. Subsequent stories might “reveal” further ties in between Alex Nevalny and CNN affiliates, imaginary NATO farms run and funded by CIA operatives, as well as hearsay evident and supposition pointing to U.S. politicians and the deep state colluding with money interests that control these media resources. A story of this kind, should a journalist or publisher like me decide to fabricate it, would then be disseminated across a massive network of desperate and/or broken publications/networks worldwide. Without so much as a scrap of paper proving Senator John McCain (for instance) has connections to the Mafia (let’s say) a false narrative (or fake news) could in fact become an alternative truth for hundreds of millions of people. As was the case with the highly publicized “Panama Papers”, the research for which was shown to have been funded by George Soros, this Putin election meddling fairytale hasn’t an inkling of proof. Nothing ties Vladimir Putin to the offshore tax evasion schemes of the real mafiosos, and nothing ties Putin or the Kremlin to a puny Facebook ad budget. My own efforts at promoting editorial and analysis by me on Facebook, probably exceed the Kremlin’s expenditures. The reality is simple, everybody promotes on Facebook, and Russiagate is hyperbole, as can be seen in stacks of reports and independent news stories.[52] As author Aaron Maté points out in the cited The Nation article, “the media has substituted hype for evidence”. More significantly, it appears U.S. lawmakers have also substituted desired policy for truth.

If only Putin’s troll army had the resources and reach the opposition does! But more on that in my final confession.

“We know that our governments lie. We know that our media channels lie. We search for integrity and truth among the rubble of propaganda. We want to pin our hopes on power for good.”
