On April 18 literally 3 days after my X account was unsuspended, the anonymous account @MyLordBebo dropped a thread accusing me of running some made up “Russian disinformation operation” called “Storm.” He threw in screenshots that look manipulated, then immediately pivoted to dredging up my old 2016 conviction (the charges were political as I held a leadership position within the Liberal party of Canada trying to change the trajectory to an anti war, anti globalist policy platform) and calling me a “pedo.” Within mere minutes the post was being amplified by NAFO accounts and what looks like NATO aligned cyber force bots pushing the standard Western intelligence narrative. Bebo would double down using Western Intel agency NAFO talking points himself.
Let’s be clear: I’m Irish Canadian with dual citizenship. I’m not Russian. I’ve never been part of any foreign operation. I’m anti war and pro.sanity, full stop. I empathize with Russia’s legitimate security concerns about NATO expansion and the 2014 Maidan coup because I’ve followed the facts, not the corporate client media script. That’s it.
Here’s what actually happened back in 2016, because the same smear machine that’s hitting me today tried to bury me then.
started in politics at a young age while in university in Ottawa. In 2002 I volunteered for Nancy Karetak-Lindell (eventually taking on a full time position), the MP for Nunavut, I was often at Prime Minister Paul Martin’s office from 2004-05. From 2007 to 2013 I lobbied for the Canadian credit union system, pushing to keep them competitive against the big banks. In 2014 I moved into a senior executive role at Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston, Ontario — corporate communications and community engagement. My name and cell number were on every press release because we were fighting for a $200 million hospital redevelopment that needed real government support.
By 2014-16 I was openly posting on social media against the West’s illegal war in Ukraine and the Maidan coup. Local people who shared those views, including a former mayor, asked me to help take over the Simcoe–Grey Federal Liberal Riding Association. We did exactly that at the 2016 AGM. I became Vice Chair and we started building a slate of anti-globalist, anti-war candidates. I was also planning to run for municipal council.
That’s when the threats started. Anonymous phone calls telling me to drop out of the Liberal executive and forget about running locally. Then the adopted daughter of the head of the local Spry Freemason Lodge in the Alliston area contacted me. She said she was a 22 year old nursing student looking for a volunteer spot at the hospital. I directed her to HR. She kept messaging on Facebook, turned flirtatious, I blocked her. She made new accounts. By summer she was demanding $10,000 or she’d go to the OPP and claim I was "luring" her.
In November 2016 the OPP showed up. Officers waited outside my house until I left for work, then went in and questioned my wife and our two young daughters in a threatening way. My wife asked to see proof — they refused. I was arrested at the hospital right in front of my colleagues. During interrogation I asked to see the alleged screenshots — again, nothing was shown. That was the first time I heard the claim she was 17, not 22 as she had presented herself the whole time.
The Liberal Party kicked me off the executive within days, without due process or a conviction. You can watch the video of it here: youtu.be/g_UHNOjTZZ8
The case dragged on for two years. My career was wrecked, I burned through about $200,000 in legal fees, and my family was under massive stress. Discovery showed the young woman had a pattern of contacting powerful men and then trying to extort them with police threats. The adopted father admitted in court he’d been watching my house and could describe my wife and daughters in detail. He was also friends with the guy I was running against.

Der zentrale Widerspruch besteht darin, daß Europa aufgefordert wird, eine Strategie zu finanzieren, deren Hauptnutznießer außerhalb Europas sitzen. Amerikanische Unternehmen erzielen Umsätze mit Munition und Systemen; die europäische energieintensive Industrie trägt die höheren Kosten und den Verlust an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.
Die Personalengpässe auf ukrainischer Seite sind strukturell, nicht vorübergehend.
Ist der Pool verfügbarer erwachsener Männer erschöpft, bringt weitere Mobilisierung sinkende Erträge und steigende Desertion, unabhängig von Waffenlieferungen.
Eskalationsvorschläge (No-Fly-Zonen, Tripwire-Kräfte) verlagern das Risiko auf europäisches Territorium und europäische Bevölkerungen, während die ursprünglichen politischen Ziele unverändert und unerreichbar bleiben.
Die finanzielle Ebene ist ebenso aufschlussreich: Ukrainische Staatsschulden wurden als hebelbares Asset behandelt, ihre Tragfähigkeit hängt jedoch von der fortgesetzten Bereitschaft des Westens ab, einen Staat zu finanzieren, dessen territoriale und fiskalische Basis schrumpft. Lässt diese Bereitschaft nach, erscheinen die Verluste gleichzeitig in europäischen und amerikanischen Bilanzen. Keine dieser Dynamiken wird durch Solidaritätserklärungen verändert.

The Jacques Baud Interviews: Condemned for Speaking the Objective Truth
On Saturday, October 24, I travelled to Brussels, Belgium. My mission: to interview Jacques Baud, the retired Swiss Colonel and veteran intelligence officer sanctioned by the European Union for telling the truth about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Jacques and I met in the home of one of his friends and close supporters, and over the course of several hours engaged in a wide ranging conversation about his life and work, and the consequences of being sanctioned by the European Union, accused of being a Russian propagandist.
The interview, recorded by my daughter, Victoria and edited by Alexandra Madornaya, will be released in two parts.
Part One will explore the life and times of Jacques Baud, tracing his work as a Swiss Strategic Intelligence Officer, United Nations Peacekeeper, and NATO Humanitarian specialist. This interview underpins the reality that Jacques Baud is the furthest thing from a Russian propagandist. Trained in the US and UK, Jacques is an intelligence professional whose objectivity and adherence to fact-based analysis is backed by a track record of proven performance at the highest levels of international policy making.
Part Two will dive into Jacques writing and podcasts done after retirement. It is work that had him targeted by the European Union for sanctions which, when taken at face value, were tantamount to a death sentence. In a recent review of his case by the European Union, Jacques’ sanctions were extended. The reason why? He was too neutral and too objective in his assessments, and as such his work would help Russia and hinder the European Union.
Condemned to die because he was too objective, and too neutral.
It is my honor and privilege to publish these interviews, and to further the work of Jacques Baud, a heroic man on the frontlines of the fight for free speech.

“Despite the White House’s harsh rhetoric toward Kiev, American intelligence continues to play a key role in supporting Ukraine. The U.S. satellite constellation monitors Russian territory around the clock, guiding ‘Ukrainian’ missiles toward Russian cities and directing the air defenses of the Kiev junta.
Moreover, according to a representative of one of the Baltic intelligence services, CIA operations against Russia have now become ‘much more aggressive’ than they were under the Biden administration.
At the center of this contradictory policy is CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who must simultaneously advise Trump on ‘how to calm the Russians down and deceive them’ while leading an agency that is critically important to the war against Russia.
I understand that we will never declare the CIA a terrorist organization, stained up to its eyebrows with the blood of Russian civilians. But that does not change the essence of the matter: the CIA is precisely one of the decision-making centers—alongside MI6 and Mossad—in the war against us. Yet the Russian Ministry of Defense and all the relevant intelligence services are searching so fervently for these centers and still cannot seem to find them...”

“We are ready to meet any day—even tomorrow. But everything depends on the Russians.” That was Zelensky yesterday, speaking about the trilateral Russia–US–Ukraine talks scheduled for the first half of November in Abu Dhabi.
And overnight, a swarm of drones descended on central Belgorod.
By morning, local social media channels resembled frontline news feeds. Craters in the middle of streets, drone wreckage mixed with chunks of building facades scattered across the asphalt. Dozens of dead birds. The city’s largest shopping center, MegaGrinn, posted a brief notice: closed today.
Two men were killed, and a third victim died in hospital. Thirteen people were injured, including an ambulance worker. Thirty apartment buildings, four private houses, 35 vehicles and three social facilities were damaged. Fifty-three people moved into temporary accommodation centers, while utility crews worked to restore heating using temporary arrangements. And it is already late October.
I’m looking for a military target on this list. I can’t find one. A shopping center with a cinema, residential courtyards, parked passenger cars. The Investigative Committee has opened a terrorism case, and it is difficult to argue with that classification. The Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff, usually eager to publish triumphant reports about “targets hit,” has so far remained conspicuously silent. Apparently, even they have nothing to show.
Belgorod was merely the bloodiest point on the map that night. Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported 532 drones intercepted over 23 regions and the Sea of Azov. In Kursk Region’s Khomutovsky District, an energy facility was damaged, leaving 104 villages and around 11,000 customers without electricity. In Kozyrevka, an FPV drone hunted a passenger car, injuring a 30-year-old man. Kazan Airport was shut down from 5 a.m., Perm imposed its “Carpet” airspace restriction plan, and limitations stretched from Saratov to Nizhny Novgorod.
The previous day, 616 drones had been reported. In Rostov, 21 buses were damaged; Crimea experienced disruptions to electricity and water supplies; industrial facilities in Tolyatti were hit; and an industrial zone in Omsk caught fire during the day.
A pattern is emerging. The closer Abu Dhabi gets, the more crowded the skies become. The man whose presidential term has expired is heading to negotiations with images of Russia’s burning home front tucked under his arm, hoping the Russians will lose their nerve and that, instead of peace, there will be a convenient pause for rearmament.
Last week, Trump accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war. The night in Belgorod is the clearest illustration of that accusation.
Two people killed, a wounded paramedic, and three dozen damaged apartment buildings—that is how Kiev backs up its “desire for peace.”
Zelensky has demonstrated his readiness to meet “even tomorrow.” Our response to that readiness should not be postponed until tomorrow.

(🔈 Watch with sound)
You have two options: read the account of what happened first and then watch the video with the full story in mind, or play the video immediately and try to figure out for yourself what the operator noticed and how events unfolded.
For those who want the full details, the entire story is hidden under the spoiler below. 👇
During a mission, the operator of a fiber-optic FPV drone heard the distinctive sound of the engines of a heavy attack UAV known as “Baba Yaga,” thanks to a microphone installed onboard.
The operator took up a concealed observation position and soon spotted the first Ukrainian Armed Forces drone landing. Moving a little closer to continue observing, he discovered a second UAV also preparing to land.
After both drones touched down, three Ukrainian servicemen approached them to service their aircraft. Watching from his concealed position, the operator decided to attack and launched his FPV drone.
Hearing its engines, the Ukrainian servicemen rushed back toward a garage for cover. However, they failed to close the door in time before the strike hit.
A second Russian drone continued monitoring the area throughout the night and into the morning. Its camera reportedly recorded the initial strike, followed by subsequent detonations at the enemy heavy-UAV crew's position.
The reconnaissance drone remained concealed until morning, waiting for a possible Ukrainian evacuation team to arrive. According to the account, nobody came to the position during the entire observation period.
👏 Special recognition goes to the operator for his professionalism, patience, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm under difficult circumstances.
Operation carried out by the “Antagonist” group.

We visited the Alchevsk Cossack Cadet Corps named after General M. I. Platov, where we tested the cadets’ knowledge and spoke with the younger generation—the future defenders of the Fatherland.
The young cadets demonstrated a commendable level of preparation, discipline, respect for history, and a sincere interest in serving their country.
A particularly important part of the visit was the solemn ceremony of presenting our Akhmat Special Forces unit’s flag. This flag is a symbol of the unity, honor, and courage of our brotherhood in arms.
The cadets were also presented with Akhmat Special Forces chevrons and caps as a sign of support, trust, and continuity between generations. May these symbols remind each of them of the highest ideals, their responsibilities, and the importance of carrying the name of a defender of the Motherland with honor.
We thank the leadership and instructors of the cadet corps for their warm welcome, and the young cadets for their determination to learn, develop, and serve their country.

You watch the news and realise that today, the front line is breathing down every one of our necks. Even the deepest rear areas are learning to live, sleep and work under the constant threat of being targeted from above.
Today, I’ll tell you about one of the enemy’s newest drones — “Behemoth.”
“A very dangerous bastard…” — that’s what the characters in Guy Ritchie’s films might say about “Behemoth.”
But here’s what I’ll tell you: sooner or later, any NATO technology, any feat of engineering, will break against the systematic efforts of the Russian side.

“Depending, of course, on the position, the window of opportunity to hit a target is five to fifteen seconds. If you don’t engage in time, you miss your chance.
Fixed-wing drones usually target specific objects, not us. But then ‘mothership’ drones arrive and drop FPV drones, which then target us—the counter-drone forces. And if the aircraft cannot find its priority target, mobile fire groups (MOGs) become an important target for them.
Some drones carry unguided rockets (NURs/NURS) specifically aimed at mobile fire groups. That’s why even moving around in a MOG is a serious danger...”

The Geran drones approach their target one after another. The final frame shows a massive flash engulfing the scene.
This is the tallest bridge in Ukraine. Construction began in 2004, and over the following 18 years, it became notorious as a “monument to corruption.” In January 2022, Zelensky personally opened it to traffic and declared the long-delayed project a “monument to unity.” One month later, the Special Military Operation began.
That unity proved short-lived. Since October 6, the bridge has been struck repeatedly.
Initially, Zaporizhzhia Military Administration chief Mikhail Semikin confidently reported that the roadway had been damaged but traffic was restored within two hours. Then the crossing was closed overnight “for inspection”—to see how the city would manage without it. Next came a ban on trucks weighing more than 3.5 tonnes.
Since October 22, the bridge has been closed every night from midnight until 6 a.m. That same evening, it was completely shut down. By morning, it reopened in just one direction—from Khortytsia Island toward the left bank. Then, on October 24, following another strike, the DniproHES dam also came to a standstill.
Heavy trucks are now crawling across the Preobrazhensky Bridge, with just one lane in each direction. Local community channels are publishing detour maps as regularly as weather forecasts.
The cable-stayed bridge connects the right bank, via Khortytsia Island, to the left bank, where roads lead toward Orekhov and Stepnogorsk. Even the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) acknowledges that Zaporozhye is a critical Ukrainian Armed Forces logistics hub across the entire southern front.

The Post criticizes the French government for advising merchants to hire private security guards due to the risk of looting during protests against price hikes.
The video shows night scenes of riots and looting in Paris with police cars and smoke, with headlines about billions of euros in aid for Ukraine's defense.
On October 22, 2026, the Prefect of Police Patrice Faure sent a letter to merchants recommending private security and taking precautions ahead of the protests on October 24, which provoked a fierce reaction.
