This is a letter from a High School Classmate from Russia

Spoiler!

Dear.....,

I am Russian, yet my mother and sister are proud Americans.

For many years I was involved in anti-Putin protest in Moscow. Over time being involved in Russian protest one would get to know the techniques that the Kremlin is using while brainwashing their supporters:



- False information and news.

- Partially false information and news presented along with convenient for the Kremlin comments of some loyal expert.

- Millions of online trolls.

- Nationalistic agenda.

- Anti – western and anti – globalism narrative.

- Emphases on conservatism and in Russian case Orthodox Church values.



And so when I came to the USA six month ago I just couldn’t miss the resemblance, the touch of a master was just too obvious not to acknowledge the fact that pro-Trump propaganda is just too much the same with everything I see back home in Moscow relating to praising Putin and condemning decadent western civilization.



Years back I was a republican. I still am. Senator McCain is my hero. I will be honest with you – I strongly disapprove the fact that Obama administration refused to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine. I think that Russian sanctions were too late and too little. I think Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia need more support from the U.S. as Russia will not change just by herself, but Russia will only change only if she was forced to. And the only way to force Russia to change is to help those revolting countries and nations around Russia to integrate into healthy and democratic European community.



But when Trump appeared on republican list it alerted me.

I know how large companies in Russia are handling their HR matters. I know that most companies in Russia have former interior, intel or police officers at their HR* departments. And sure do I know how large Russian companies are handing their HR. That’s a Russian thing.

I have an idea what Gazprom in Russia is. It is NOT Russian Mobil nor Gazprom is similar to British Petroleum. Gasprom is Russian carbohydrate and financial militant forces in one part, and a wallet for special interests in the other. Gazprom has its own small army. Gazprom is used to loot Russia and to buy loyalists globe-wide.

And so I pretty much have an idea what kind of interviews, approvals and matching Carter Page had to go through and undertake to end-up with Gazprom.



We in Moscow and Russia are used to the fact that a cold civil war is occurring in the country. People are divided in two camps. I like to compare our Russian domestic standoff with the “Walking dead” series. Many of them. Few of us. They are like zombies. Once in a while they would turn one of us to be as they are, to be one of them: praising Putin, enjoying the fact that Russia illegally annexed Crimea, experiencing great joy because Russia can destroy the planet with her nuclear arsenal.

And so we are used to the fact that among us are agents. Different ones. Pretending to be as we are. Or thinking that they are with us, but in reality they are not.


Russain intel services don’t recruit people as it is regularly shown in the movies. They like to do everything secretly. For example: people that gave Anna Chapman the capital to run the business in the U.S. were affiliated with former Moscow mayor and didn’t know whom and why they were giving that money to. They were just asked by some third party people to assist one good start-up in the U.S.

One of the recruiting techniques designed many years ago by the KGB is called human programming.


They would first identify your so called psychological portrait.

Then they would surround you with the consequences that would lead you to the conclusions they need and most importantly they would surround you with specially picked and selected people that would say and do things to appeal to your psychological portrait on a core level. These specially picked people could be: 1) real agents or even undercover officers, 2) formally recruited people 3) unwilling agents planted based on their behaving habits 4) combination of all 4 types.



And so Mr. Trump that we know being an ego centrist with authoritarian habits was surrounded by Flynn, Manafort, and Page. All three are loyal to Putin for some unknown reasons…

I am sure there were more people influencing Mr. Trump that we don’t know about and additionally some other people were too influenced that are\were in return were influencing Mr. Trump including, I am sure, Reince Priebus was influenced because the Kremlin had to secure proper feedback from GOP side when Trump approached GOP with his friendly to Putin narrative. I suspect that Mr. Priebus was influenced by someone pretending to be Greek Orthodox priests. I suspect that. But I cannot prove that. Russian Orthodox Church is important institution within Putin regime. For example not long ago a person working at Moscow Patriarchate was changed with treason.



Some would say that I am having a paranoia. But, hey, I started blowing the whistle one year before Mr. Trump amended GOP platform amending the part that was related to assistance of Ukraine. Basically GOP platform amending by Mr. Trump was done purely favoring Putin.



Over these past 20 month I sent (I have record of some of them) about 140 letters to American politicians, journalists, to even Trump camp trying to raise an awareness in the USA.

But no one listened.

My sister even once told me that I see a hand of Putin everywhere where there is corruption and/or a crime.

Not everywhere. I know that Putin needs to:



- lift off sanctions

- spark a domestic dispute in Saudi Arabia so that oil prices will go high up

- achieve an agreement with the United States similar to the one was sighed in Yalta after WW2 where USSR and the West the USA mainly agreed to divide the spheres of influences in the globe.

- Divide and sabotage the American democracy and unity.



And you know what - if you look at former Mr. Trump’s agenda concerning NATO, Putin, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Globalizm, global trading, the role of the US in the world, you will see that those people that are influencing Mr. Trump were/are influencing Mr. Trump in the way Putin needs.



And so I would like to finish this email with a point:



Could it be that the United states totally misinterpreted and missed online information invasion by Russia? After all it is Dana Rohrabacher – Putin loyalist is now heading CIS committee in the Congress…

Or someone thinks it is a coincidence that alt -right leader Richard Spencer is married to a Russian propagandist?



Thanks,





*To be precise Russian companies do have security departments that also to the extend handle HR matters.
