In the second edition of the new monthly show produced by Newsbud Tales from the Russian Intelligence, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the life and writings of Yuri Drozdov, a KGB major general who passed away in Moscow on June 21, 2017 at the age of 91.

The government has become an expert in finding ways to sidestep what it considers “inconvenient laws” aimed at ensuring accountability and thereby bringing about government transparency and protecting citizen privacy. Indeed, it has mastered the art of stealth maneuvers and end-runs around the Constitution. It knows all too well how to hide its nefarious, covert, clandestine activities behind the classified language of national security and terrorism. And when that doesn’t suffice, it obfuscates, complicates, stymies or just plain bamboozles the public into remaining in the dark.

It’s easy to denounce the full-frontal horrors carried out by the scientific and medical community within a totalitarian regime such as Nazi Germany. However, what do you do with a government that claims to be a champion of human rights while allowing its agents to engage in the foulest and most despicable acts of torture, abuse and human experimentation? Mind you, the U.S. government has seldom had its citizens’ best interests at heart.
The chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, is leading a push to militarize space. He wants to create a new arm of the military dedicated to confronting Russia and China. On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we examine the Space Corps plan, part of a budget package that will deliver nearly $700 billion in funding to the military, billions more than requested by the Trump administration. The plan provides for combat-ready space forces that will fight wars in outer space.
In the thirty-ninth edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Izvestia, Vedomosti, and Kommersant. He discusses the weapons and energy deals currently being made between Russia and Turkey, the efforts by the Russian government to combat the falsification of the World War II history now rampant in the anti-Russian regimes in Eastern Europe, and the recent high-level negotiations of the U.S. and Russian diplomats in Washington, DC that seem to have led nowhere.
This week on Newsbud’s China Watch: Bumrushing China Containment in India and Australia. What’s really going on between the Indian Army and the PLA in Bhutan? Spoiler: it’s not a threat south to the Siliguri Corridor. It’s competition between China and India east west along the Himalayan tier. We’ll also take a look at Australia’s 50 billion dollar submarine screw-up, and find out who’s blocking Australia’s promotion to a full-fledged member of the China containment quadrilateral…and why. And Is Liu Xiaobo’s death a case of medical murder?
Legally owning a gun in America could get you killed by a government agent. While it still technically remains legal to own a firearm in America, possessing one can now get you pulled over, searched, arrested, subjected to all sorts of surveillance, treated as a suspect without ever having committed a crime, shot at and killed. This same rule does not apply to government agents, however, who are armed to the hilt and rarely given more than a slap on the wrists for using their weapons to shoot and kill American citizens.
On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we delve into the dark art of mind control and its use in torture as practiced by the Nazis and passed on to the CIA. From Operation Paperclip to MK Ultra and beyond, Nazi scientists and their American counterparts collaborating with the CIA experimented on often unwitting subjects, dosing them with drugs, including LSD and mescaline, in an effort to control the mind and also enhance torture at a time when the Soviet Union and communist China were practicing brainwashing techniques.
