Let the Separation of the Wheat and Chaff begin. All who are against Trump's Russian Oil Deal must now figure out a way to financially and socially separate themselves from those who remain silent.
🪶⚖♥
I do not know if you are receiving my DMs due to the censorship but please try to get the word out about this as it will show us who is willing to publicly denounce Trump's Russian Oil move and who will not... or can not.
This will shift the alliances to be sure, at least while this horrible war has not yet ended, as it will determine the people that we choose to remain in contact with, as well as in business with.

Data Republican’s past work in Ukraine for a company started by “the Bill Gates of the Urals,” serial entrepreneur, software engineer, and ACM ICPC veteran, recruiter, and sponsor from St. Petersburg whose past business co-founders have ties to YANDEX.
🇷🇺 in 🇺🇦 SNAP INC & LOOKSERY
Jennica Pounds (@DataRepublican) managed Snap Inc.’s large “Ukrainian engineering team” (from the 2015 Looksery app acquisition that was developed in Odessa and SOCHI 🇷🇺) as Principal Software Engineer and Director of Software Engineering in Snap Lab. CEO Evan Spiegel arranged private extraction contractors to help “evacuate team members” during the 2022 invasion.
Shaburov sold Looksery to Snap Inc. (owner of Snapchat) for $150M . About 25% of shares went to the company’s top managers and technical team for startups. Shaburov became a Snap Inc. co-owner (Pounds worked for in Odessa) via shares. Looksery was removed from app stores; its features integrated into Snapchat.
🇷🇺 VICTOR SHABUROV
Looksery’s real-time face-tracking technology (foundation of Snapchat Lenses) was co-founded by Russian-born Victor Shaburov (b. 1977, Yekaterinburg).
Victor Shaburov won several Math Olympiads in school and later the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). He attended the Specialized Educational and Research Center of Ural State University (now SESC of Ural Federal University), then transferred to St. Petersburg State University’s Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics (MatMech), graduating with honors in 1999.
—> Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev - Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of St Petersburg University.
In 2016, twice ICPC world champion and Roem.ru founder Yuri Sinodov congratulated his colleagues:
“The sponsors of the St. Petersburg University team are Kontakte and Viktor Shaburov (Everyone knows about the Kontakte Olympiad participants, and Victor has already sponsored one team, which became the backbone of the Looksery project, bought by Snapchat last year for $150M).”
Shaburov today remains heavily invested in sponsoring AMC ICPC Olympiads via Botan Investments, spending about $200K annually.
🧮Victor Shaburov uses the AMC ICPC Olympiads to recruit talent for his startups:
▶️St. Petersburg State University (SPbU) is a frequent ICPC winner—where Shaburov met his SPB business partner Filippov in 1999.
▶️Alexander Mashrabov and Grigory Tkachenko (both 🇷🇺 Russian)— previously at YANDEX, started AI Factory based in Sochi, which was also sold to Snap Inc in 2019.
▶️Yuri Monastyrshin 🇺🇦 recruited by Shaburov in 2014, after holding 2 open programming competitions at the Odessa I.I. Mechnikov National University.
🇷🇺 SPB Software House - YANDEX Shell
In 1999 in St. Petersburg, Victor Shaburov co-founded SPB Software House on Rubinshteina Street with Vasily Filippov, who competed for the SPbU team at the 1999 ACM-ICPC World Finals.
YANDEX acquired SPB Software in November 2011 for approximately $38.4M (retention incentives for founders to stay 1–2 years). Named SPB founders who continued at Yandex:
🇩🇪 Sebastian-Justus Schmidt — SPB CEO. Appointed EVP Mobile and General Manager at Yandex.
🇷🇺 Vasily Filippov — SPB COO. Headed mobile distribution/related roles at Yandex before founding MEL Science.
🇷🇺 Yaroslav Goncharov — SPB CTO. Remained at Yandex until around 2013; later founded FaceApp.
🇷🇺 Olga Steidl — SPB CMO/VP. Confirmed founders would continue at Yandex.
Yandex leadership at acquisition:
🇷🇺 Arkady Volozh — CEO and co-founder (announced the deal, citing mobile as key growth strategy).
🇷🇺 Ilya Segalovich — co-founder (with Volozh).
Shaburov’s later path included a company (acquired by Opera Software), Looksery (~$150M Snap exit), AI Factory (acquired by Snap for Cameos), engineering leadership at Snap, and investing via Botan Investments. Shaburov lives in Gibraltar 🇬🇮 and holds a Cypriot 🇨🇾 nationality.

I actually managed a Ukrainian team at the time of the Russian invasion. The cost was real and Evan hired paramilitary forces to rescue his employees. I will never, ever forgive Putin for the human cost he created.
That said, there’s zero realistic path to victory that doesn’t involve pulling the US in a real risk of nuclear war. And there are a lot of interests invested in making sure Ukraine remains a meat grinder so they themselves don’t have to confront Russian costs. I wish more Ukrainians would realize that.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
FRIEND OF TUCKER, CANDACE @realcandaceo, and ALEX JONES @RealAlexJones COLLABS WITH RUSSIAN INTEL PSYOPS TEAM MEMBER
TUCKER WAS LISTED ON THAT SAME RUSSIAN PSYOP TEAM'S MEDIA ADVISORY BOARD
🔥GROUP WANTED TUCKER'S HELP CHOOSING MESSENGERS FOR AMERICAN AUDIENCES
🎙️The Russian intelligence front's stated goal is "information warfare" via a "FAMILY OF PODCASTS"
"Elizabeth Lane," a Charlie Kirk assassination conspiracy theorist who RT recently named as one of its "correspondents," released another interview with Stanislav Krapivnik about Ukraine.
Krapivnik is a former U.S. Army officer and member of the Moscow-based International Club of National Unity (known as MKNE), which is the 100-strong Russian influence ops "supergroup" I exposed last month on my podcast.
Russia-linked @imelizabethlane was introduced to Tucker Carlson through a convicted CIA officer who admits to being on the payroll of Russian state media.
Lane, who is from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, admits to sharing information told to her by U.S. special ops veterans she "dated" with Russian special forces operatives when she was in Russia.
Krapivnik is currently fundraising to equip Russian forces in Ukraine with drones.
He uses @youtube as a platform to do so, which violates their TOS because that's a violation of sanctions. Maybe @TeamYouTube can give me a statement about whether they will allow it to continue.
What do you guys think...
Is using your platform to knowingly advertise people as they are openly fundraising for violent sanctioned entities an illegal prohibited "service?"
Isn't it also illegal to provide services--paid or unpaid--to RT?
What do you think, @Kash_Patel, @SecScottBessent, @USTreasury, @TreasuryDepSec, @FBI_Response?

Both the extreme left and right as well as its more "legitimate" opposition of soft liberalism are one thing which tried to show itself as separate puppets participating in our culture war.
The problem as Elephant Graveyard pointed out, is that Eric was telling Joe Rogan that he and Jeffrey Epstein are "Interested in the exact same thing" — "He and I were interested in where's the high-end intellectual action in the world which actually moves things? Not the people with the highest IQ but the people who are irreverent enough to move the needle, and how the highest in society are connected to the people who get things done."
Now, while being irreverent is a good quality that fights against the ossifying group-think, we can clearly see how much group-think within the Rogansphere there has been on all fronts, especially their silence when it comes to the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
For instance, Eric had on Anna from Red Scare on his podcast who has been spreading Russian propaganda since 2018, like saying the UKR govt was made up of Nazis just like Putin says.

And as a reminder, those people who are of the heart, regardless if they are Jewish or not Jewish, reside as far from the Weinstein, Epstein, and whichever other Stein that has not yet been turned-type world. You cannot be a decent loving person and think less of non-Jews who can clearly be seen as kind (as well as smart).
This is why in general if the Groypers of the world look at the specific people who are peddling division without a clear roadmap to judge people according to their kindness, honor, and competence — then you are operating under a control system of sorts just like the Russia-China-Islamist axis want you to.

Trump’s son secretly went on vacation with a Putin’s oligarch: The two went hunting together in Mongolia this August.
Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Mongolia accompanied by the U.S. Secret Service and Republican donor Kevin Small. Later, Umar Kremlev flew in from Kazakhstan to join him, accompanied by businessman Artur Martirosov.
As a reminder, Kremlev reportedly previously paid for Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas in secret.
And we wonder why Trump is pro-russian?!

Just the US president’s son casually vacationing with a Kremlin-linked oligarch.
Donald Trump Jr. reportedly spent two days hunting in Mongolia with Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch with close ties to putin’s security circle, according to the Financial Times.
Kremlev, who has a criminal record and heads the International Boxing Association, also helped fund Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding celebrations earlier this year.
The two reportedly avoided taking photos together during the trip.
Also, a recent ProPublica investigation also revealed that Kremlev helped pay for Trump Jr.’s wedding celebrations earlier this year.

People think claims about Russian influence is a psyop; it's not. Unlike Israeli influence, which is out in the open, Russian influence is less obvious and depends on e-celebs and treacherous grifters. They'll use anyone they can get, even convicted sex offenders.

Because every "patriot" no longer wants their country to hold the global reserve currency.
Let China's Renminbi take that slot.
That's what a real patriot would do, right?

The past two weeks have seen the Trump administration essentially turn on Ukraine. This is a shameful, perfidious decision that harms American interests. Here's why it matters, and why, in the grand scheme of things, it might not.
