THE HOAX
Americans should recognize the factors that led to Trump’s criminal presidency, our government’s voluminous dysfunction, and the rising surreptitious crime across our country.
A whirlwind of legal woes, the Epstein Files, wars, and voter dissatisfaction all orbit around Donald Trump constantly. Ever enthralled by the sensationalism created by the Trump administration, the American media remains fixated on these distractions missing a crucial and overlooked danger that continues to unfold in the United States.
The shadow cast by Putin over the landscape of American democracy, and his influence and control over Trump grows larger and darker by the moment. A large number of Americans believe that the Cold War concluded in the early 1990s and that Russia is currently an ally; however, neither assumption is correct. Putin is engaging in a prolonged and destructive strategy involving Donald Trump, U.S. politics, and the American public.
“The West, and especially the United States, naively believed that the West had won the Cold War. This was a momentous and critical mistake.”
(Written by Catherine Belton, in Putin’s People)
Americans should recognize the factors that led to Trump’s criminal presidency, our government’s voluminous dysfunction, and the rising surreptitious crime across our country.
During the communist reign and the Soviet Union, life – by Russian standards – was structured. Children attended schools and most joined the Young Pioneers (ages 9 to 14) – the Russian version of boy and girl scouts. Their education and health care were state-sponsored. Attending college was for those who excelled in their studies – also free. There was little crime. The open markets offered vegetables and fruit from the south of Russia. Very few people were wealthy, but if you were a loyal communist, you would live comfortably. Pornography was banned in Russia. It is important to grasp that most Russians were incessantly proud of their country and their culture which spanned more than a thousand years.
Their world rapidly unraveled—first came the swift collapse of the Soviet Union, and then, under Boris Yeltsin’s leadership, the fall of communism. Their society was in chaos, food was scarce, jobs were lost, factories closed, and naked young girls danced on stages to feed their families. During this period, the value of the ruble fell drastically. There were snippers in tall building windows – those who wanted communism and normalcy returned. The US, several European countries, and The World Bank gave billions to support Russia’s democratization – a demonstration of the western-worlds nescience of Russia’s history or a willful disregard of Russian culture continuity. I personally witnessed this chaos.
Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer loyal to Russia and the USSR, was chosen by senior officials and President Yeltsin to restore national stability. He possessed the requisite qualifications, including fifteen years of experience as an intelligence operative in Germany. He witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and was deeply affected by the transformations in Russia. Determined, he promised to return to Russia, enter politics, and stand against democracy. He and his allies held the West and NATO responsible for the USSR’s fall and Russia’s humiliation - a claim with some truth. He pledged revenge.
During the 1990s in Russia, hostility toward the West grew, leading to a complicated pattern of retaliation. President Bush declared, “the West had won the Cold War.” Consequently, the CIA reduced its Soviet personnel by 25%, leading many to believe that Russia no longer posed a threat. It was a deep-rooted and planned deception, and it succeeded.

The FSB, formed in 1994 under Putin’s leadership. Although the KGB appeared to be slowing down, its authority was handed over to the newly formed FSB, which also assumed supervision over every Russian bank. Using this control, the FSB stole millions from The World Bank and USAID – both western sources believing they were assisting Russia’s democratization process – it was a hoax.
Criminal groups were gaining control within Russia’s government and internationally. By the mid-1990s, Putin aimed to expand Russian organized crime into the U.S. to undermine democracy and place a Russian asset in the White House for disruption of US government. He sought NATO’s dissolution.

By 1997, a book was published in Russia called The Foundations of Geopolitics. Its author was Alexander Dugin, but Putin was believed to be the ghost writer since this book outlines Putin’s presidential goals three years before he was elected.
“Sooner or later the endless [democratic] spectacle is over. Then we will take revenge; mercilessly.” A. Dugin
“A shared sense of history is possible only on the basis of the domination of one society over another, and imposing its own history and, thus, its identity on the enslaved one.” A. Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory
This book, The Foundations of Geopolitics, declares that “the battle for the world rule of Russians” has not ended and Russia remains “the staging area of a new anti-bourgeois, anti-American revolution“.” (Wikipedia)
“In 2023 - less than three years ago - Russia adopted a Eurasianist, anti-Western foreign policy in a document titled “The Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation“, approved and signed by Vladimir Putin. The policy identifies United States and other Anglo-Saxon countries as “the main executor of the aggressive anti-Russian policy of the collective West.” It goes on to say, “it seeks to end the geopolitical American dominance in the international scene.” (Wikipedia)
Donald Trump, a man with no morales and a criminal past, had declared six bankruptcies, and has been convicted of fraud, 34 felony counts, and rape. He is now legally labeled a “sexual predator.” He was exactly what the KGB sought to manage illicit Russian funds and launder black cash from drug distribution and sports gambling. After being invited to Russia, his involvement began. Russians paid his bills, saved him from a 7th bankruptcy, skillfully flattered him, offered women and girls as enticement, and he was then trapped. This represents the standard operational approach employed by the Russian KGB/FSB.
The entire world, except a small population in the United States, knows that Mr. Trump is a Russia asset who is controlled by Mr. Putin. In Russia – as well as Europe, this is common knowledge and old news. Oleg Kalugin, the former head of KGB operations in the U.S. for decades, was interviewed by Craig Unger who is a NYT bestselling author. Kalugin said, “on his watch, there were over 300 Americans who became Russian assets, and Donald Trump was one of them.”
The following photo was taken at the Helsinki Summit in 2018 after Putin and Trump’s private meeting – no western reporters or photographers were allowed It is assumed that at that Meeting, Mr. Putin showed Mr. Trump photos of himself with Russian women. At the subsequent press conference, Mr. Trump is hanging his head and suddenly agreed with Mr. Putin on anything he said.

Investigative reports reveal Trump properties have been involved in dubious financial dealings which amounted to at least $1.5 billion in cash transactions with shell companies – a clear red-flag for money laundering. Forbes magazine said, “Everyone has an opinion, but Forbes has the answer: $6.5 billion is Trump’s net worth. In the last year, Mr. Trump has added $2.1 billion dollars to his liquid assets – as the President of the United States. This is more than all the former U.S. Presidents combined for one reason – it is illegal.
U.S. presidents are barred by the Emoluments Clauses from profiting through government payments, whether domestic or foreign. The Domestic clause bans extra benefits from federal or state governments, while the Foreign clause prohibits foreign payments without Congress’s approval. Enforcement of these clauses is still debated and mostly untested in court. It was not necessary before Mr. Trump. “Unlike previous presidents, President Trump has refused to separate himself from his businesses and OAG alleges that he continues to accept money from foreign and domestic governments through transactions at the Trump International Hotel here in the District.” (Quoted from the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia) He also collects fees on Trump properties around the world sold to Russians. “The Framers designed these anti-corruption laws to ensure Americans never have to wonder whether the president is working on our behalf or in his personal financial interest.” (Ibid. Quoted from the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia) “In a historic ruling in July 2018, a federal court judge agreed that the president is prohibited from accepting almost anything of value—including gifts, payments, and benefits—from foreign or domestic governments.” (Ibid)
Before Trump became president and Epstein was convicted, they attended events together with Victoria’s Secret models and traveled on Epstein’s private jet between New York and Florida. Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 that the pair also shared an affinity for beautiful women - especially young ones, and Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy.” While Trump has made multiple attempts to distance himself from Epstein since his sex offender conviction, the Epstein Papers has mention Trump at least 1500 times according to CBC (Nov. 12, 2025). Epstein’s emails revealed a message where he said, “Trump does not have a decent cell in his entire body”.
These two men – Trump and Epstein – shared more than women - they both perpetrated felonious schemes, violated domestic and international laws, stole money, and collaborated with Russia. Did they also participate in government-sponsored child trafficking?
While you and I pay $5 a gallon for gas, Trump is getting rich from money he receives from business with Russia or his “tariff” scheme whereby American companies and American consumers pay higher taxes at the store and then the government orTrump benefits.
From the decimiation of rural America, to the rising costs of health care, to the lack of mass media coverage of the Trump-Russian reality - our country is under attack from the top down by Trump’s destruction of the federal government to the bottom up widespread crime of the ROC (Russian Organized Crime) WE ARE IN TROUBLED WATERS and most Americans don’t know how to swim.
Mr. Trump’s presidential actions and decisions are not for the benefit of U.S. citizens, but for himself and for Russia. He is working for our enemy, except Republicans still don’t know. This is TREASON.







My many years living and working in Russia gave me an insight into the U.S. that I never realized beofre. I hope you enjoy reading today's message. Thanks for your comment - it is appreciated. Elizabeth
You are not alone. There are about 600 to 700 that read my rants, my book is ranked 25 out of thousands with "democracy" in the title, and my Substack is read in 70 countries and in thousand of newspapers monthly.. I am stumped how to get Americans to grasp reality. Tell me how to convince others of Trumps betrayal? What words am I missing? E
