Cold War is Keeping The KBG Flame Hot 🔥
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Scary and unstable times filled with conspiracy theories on steroids that keep coming back - and it is bizarre how fictional or non-fictional Komrade Krasnov tends to be surrounded by Nazi salutes first by Musk and now by Bannon - the world is getting more and more absurd right now …
Interestingly, the Slavic root word for Krasnov is Krasny meaning a good looking - as in that famous emotional tune from the Russian song “Óči žgúčie i prekrásnye!”
To me it looks like Comrades Mussayev and Unger have an amazing timing to spill the complicated KGB story - if I was them I would keep away from window and umbrellas …
‘Trump Recruited as Moscow Asset,’ Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief
Alnur Mussayev, former head of Kazakhstan’s security service, who rose up the ranks of the Soviet KGB, claims Moscow groomed Trump under pseudonym “Krasnov” in 1987.
Donald Trump Was Recruited By KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’: Spy Chief
Archived Daily Beast on MD: Former Intelligence Officer Claims KGB Recruited Trump ONE OF US
Magic Disappearing DB Story About Spy Chief Allegations Trump Recruited as a Russian Asset in 1987.
So earlier today, the Daily Beast’s Isabel van Brugen published a bombshell story about allegations by Kazakh Spy Chief Alnur Mussayev that the KGB had recruited Donald Trump as a Soviet Asset way back in 1987 under the code name “Krasnov.”
I expected to see this story covered heavily here, but nary a peep, and within hours, it was scrubbed from both the Daily Beast’s site, as well as various other outlets on the internet. There is no retraction on the Daily Beast site, or even any acknowledgment that the story existed, and several republishers have pulled the story as well.
If you go to Google news and search “Trump Krasnov,” you may still find a couple of sites where the story, either in the van Brugen version, or under other bylines, is still up, but they are dropping like flies.
Now I am as against CTs, hoaxes, etc. as anyone, so I will take no stance as to the truthfulness of the accusations laid out in the van Brugen and other articles, but I also have to say that the speed at which this is being memory holed is rather breathtaking. Pressure from the DOJ, perhaps? If this story has actually been debunked anywhere rather than simply disappeared, please add a cite in the comments, and I will be more than happy to update this story to reflect it.
Incidentally, FWIW, van Brugen did publish another story earlier today that detailed Anthony Scaramucci’s speculation that Trump may be a Russian asset that is still currently up on the DB site. It will be interesting to see if that one eventually gets yanked, as well.
The purported FB post by Alnur Mussayev that generated this story:
In 1987, I served in the 6th Directorate of the USSR KGB in Moscow. The most important direction of the work of the 6th Administration was the recruitment of businessmen from capitalist countries.It was that year that our administration recruited a 40-year-old businessman from the United States, Donald Trump under the pseudonym "Krasnov".(Machine Translation)
