Remember
DERIPASKA is Lord Barker’s colleague in EN+ and how HARD Lord Barker worked to have sanctions lifted from Deripaska’s EN.
Sufficiently hard to earn Barker $ multi millions.
McGonigal :Snr FBI agent
Look how far back his Russian “counter intelligence” goes until arrest

H/t Chris Marsden for the summary
“Deripaska, the founder of Russian aluminium company Rusal, was among two dozen Russian oligarchs and government officials blacklisted by Washington in 2018 in reaction to Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 US election.' Not so in #Londongrad”

🚨 EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION - A vast cache of hacked material from Russia has shed new light on how the UK govt helped warlord Prigozhin mount a targeted legal attack on a journalist in London. This is #londongrad writ large. opendemocracy.net/en/prigozhin-g…
If you’re interested, there’s much more on other aspects of the case here in this brilliant piece by @alicesperi in @theintercept theintercept.com/2022/10/19/rus…
And don’t stop there. Read the original investigation by @bellingcat which caused Prigozhin to target @EliotHiggins (at this stage Prigozhin denied not only his control but also Wagner’s very existence) bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…

..these contribute to a loss of confidence, but they do not stand alone. There is also the endless list of incompetence & waste—taxpayers’ money being tossed around like confetti, with £16 billion fraudulently squandered on #COVID business support.

There are the shameful failures in ambulance waiting times, 6 million citizens waiting for hospital treatment, people unable to travel because of the crippling delays at the Passport Office, and a stream of rail strikes and chaos at the airports.

“Some of them have arrived, not with their own planes, & are staying at the houses of their spouses, their friends,” Elise Brezis, director of Azrieli Center for Economic Policy at Bar-Ilan U. in central Israel, said of Russian oligarchs landing in the country

Russia has fomented the rise of the far right across central and eastern Europe. Like a virus attacking its host, malign Russian influence seeks out and attacks democracies.
Eroding the foundations of democracies takes years to fully achieve the desired destabilizing and disabling effects, as the western model of democracy becomes more discredited and undermined so the Kremlin’s model rises up.
Russia’s networks of influence are complex, rendering a countries ability to conduct oversight through transparency, accountability and the rule of law extremely vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation.
#Russia has invaded Sovereign #Ukraine.
Russia along with the big 5 gave Ukraine, #Belarus and #Kazakhstan explicit guarantee to respect their Sovereignty and territories as part of #Budapest memorandum in return for giving up their #nukes.

#Putin claimed that "promises" were made and broken regarding #NATO expansion?
Yet #Gorbachev has said many times that no such promise was given
Who should we believe?
The Ethno-nationalist?
Or the Nobel prize winner?
Russia breached this accord with its original 2014 invasion.

The actions of Russia in its pursuit of Crimea and making #Azov a russian lake have led to creating and supporting continued insurgency in eastern Ukraine.
The claim of Putin to be entering Ukraine as a #peacekeeper?
As a guardian of Russian speakers?

When Boris Johnson threatens Russia with sanctions, Putin laughs at us.
Why? Because he knows 🇬🇧 & the Tories are knee-deep in Russian money.
And you can't sanction something if you don't know where it is, says journalist and author @OliverBullough 👇👇

Big thanks to @OliverBullough whose book Moneyland shone a light into the murky world of money laundering. More to come soon with 'Butler to the World', an eye-opening analysis of Britain's role as servant to kleptocrats, criminals, tax dodgers & tycoons
