89. "a serious and highly unusual leak from within the Kremlin."
Thu Jul 15, 2021, 01:37 PM
Jul 2021

This might be the first sign that Putin is in trouble. He miscalculated badly with Dumdum. He expected loyalty and gratitude and got only a couple of token meetings in the White House during briefing sessions. We didn't withdraw from Nato and we might have suffered blows to our pride, but we did ultimately get Dumdum out of office with out system intact. The whoe thing exposed the GQP for what they have become and I hope a lot of people are asking some very serious questions about the origin of Dumdum hysteria.

Dumdum, of course, is incapable of loyalty and is grateful to no one, ever. It was a bad blunder to think he could be controlled.

Putin is in trouble. I think the FSB and GRU brass are likely furious, since they know a lot of their psyops are about to be exposed and countered. They've already lost one ransomware factory, although we don't know who's responsible yet. Oh, yeah, they're annoyed.

Well, well, well. What was hidden, is revealed. marble falls Jul 2021 #1
