Now 67, Shvets is a key source for American Kompromat, a new book by journalist Craig Unger, whose previous works include House of Trump, House of Putin. The book also explores the former president’s relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“This is an example where people were recruited when they were just students and then they rose to important positions; something like that was happening with Trump,” Shvets said by phone on Monday from his home in Virginia.

Shvets, a KGB major, had a cover job as a correspondent in Washington for the Russian news agency Tass during the 1980s. He moved to the US permanently in 1993 and gained American citizenship. He works as a corporate security investigator and was a partner of Alexander Litvinenko, who was assassinated in London in 2006.

Let’s kill the lie once and for all.

You didn’t “own the libs.”

You didn’t trigger anyone.

You didn’t strike a blow for freedom, or honor, or truth.

You didn’t win a war.

You didn’t even show up to the battlefield.

You sat back, watched the country rot from the inside, and told yourself it was fine—so long as the people you hate were miserable, too.

But here’s the truth:

You never owned the libs.

You never will.

Because you’re not strong.

You’re not free.

You’re not rebels, warriors, truth-tellers, or defenders of liberty.

You’re just angry.

Bitter.

Lost.

And you want everyone else to feel just as hopeless as you do.

YOU CALL THAT WINNING?

You cheered when the Department of Education was gutted.

You laughed when your own kids’ schools lost federal funding.

You screamed about “indoctrination” while teachers quit in record numbers and school boards descended into chaos.

You called it “based” when the CDC collapsed under political pressure.

You mocked public health while hundreds of thousands died.

You waved signs that said “My Body, My Choice” at anti-vaccine rallies, then turned around and demanded control over women’s reproductive decisions.

You celebrated when FEMA funding was slashed—right up until a hurricane leveled your community and no one came to help.

You voted for the guys who killed your local union.

Who deregulated your drinking water.

Who let billionaires strip your town for parts.

And you clapped like trained seals because at least it made the libs mad.

You didn’t own the libs.

You torched your own damn house and dared us to call it patriotic.

YOU DON’T HATE US. YOU ENVY US.

You scream about “liberal elites,” but deep down, you know the truth:

We’re not the ones who sold you out.

We’re the ones who still believe in something.

We believe in public schools.

In public libraries.

In workers’ rights.

In healthcare that won’t bankrupt you.

In clean water, fair elections, and a livable planet.

We believe you deserve better, even when you spit in our faces.

We fight for you, even when you vote against your own damn life.

You don’t hate that. You resent it.

Because deep down, you know you gave up.

You know you traded hope for hate.

Community for conspiracy.

Democracy for delusion.

Faith for fascism.

You stopped believing in building a better country and settled for watching it burn.

You stopped fighting for your neighbors and started blaming them.

And worst of all?

You think that makes you brave.

YOU WANT PAIN. YOU JUST DON’T WANT TO BE ALONE IN IT.

You could’ve fought for universal healthcare.

You could’ve demanded living wages.

You could’ve stood up for clean air, accessible childcare, affordable housing.

Instead, you clung to the lie that someone else’s suffering was justice.

You wanted to see someone cry.

A gay kid.

A trans woman.

A Black voter.

A poor immigrant.

A college student.

A teacher.

A journalist.

A liberal.

You needed to believe that if someone else was hurting, then your own pain was justified.

That it meant you were winning.

You weren’t.

You were just bleeding from self-inflicted wounds while cheering that someone else got hit harder.

You didn’t own the libs.

You just turned your rage into a suicide pact and called it patriotism.

YOU WERE NEVER REBELS. YOU WERE ALWAYS THE FOOT SOLDIERS OF THE RICH.

You stormed school board meetings and screamed at librarians.

You mocked climate scientists while your state burned, flooded, or froze.

You posted red-hatted memes about gas stoves and light bulbs while the billionaires like Peter Thiel who fed you those talking points bought bunkers in New Zealand and left you behind.

You think you’re resisting tyranny?

You’re following it. Obeying it. Begging for it.

You say “don’t tread on me” while goose-stepping in line behind men who want to ban books, criminalize protest, and put cameras in classrooms.

You rail against “Big Government,” but only when it’s feeding hungry kids, not when it’s sending tanks to your city or banning history that makes you uncomfortable.

You shout “freedom” while building a police state around your fears.

You didn’t resist tyranny.

You cleared the path for it—and handed it a torch.

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE NAZIS.

You hate being called Nazis.

It offends you.

You insist you’re nothing like them.

But here’s the checklist:

Obsession with national purity?
Demonization of immigrants?
Vilifying the press?
Book bans?
Politicized religion?
Propaganda networks?
Loyalty oaths?
State-enforced culture wars?
Glorification of violence?
Scapegoating minorities?
Obsession with masculinity?
Idol worship of a single leader?
You’re not hiding from the label.

You’re running to it in slow motion with a flag and a Facebook post.

You don’t hate Nazis.

You just hate being told that’s what you’ve become.

YOU NEVER OWNED THE LIBS. YOU NEVER WILL.

Because we never stopped fighting.

We never stopped believing.

We never gave up on the people you abandoned.

You tried to erase us.

Silence us.

Censor us.

Terrify us.

Mock us.

Bully us.

Ban us.

Burn our books.

Dox our teachers.

Raid our libraries.

Police our bodies.

Rig our elections.

And still—we’re here.

Still marching.

Still organizing.

Still voting.

Still building.

Still resisting.

Still loving.

Still refusing to break.

You never owned us.

You just embarrassed yourselves trying.

So go ahead.

Wave your flag harder.

Post your meme louder.

Buy one more bumper sticker, one more gun, one more piece of red-white-and-blue cosplay to hide the fact that you’re hollow inside.

But deep down, you know.

You never owned the libs.

You never will.

Finally, tonight, Trump's apparent determination to dominate the news and to project an image of leadership is overlapping with his increasingly erratic behavior. After suggesting on Tuesday that he'd like to be Pope, tonight the president of the United States posted on his social media site an Al-generated image of himself wearing papal robes and a miter.

Executive actions can be organized into branches. Executive orders not subject to negotiations but hopefully subject to an independent judiciary, managing the cabinet, preparing draft budgets for Congress, and international affairs.

For upcoming executive orders, spending, and managing the cabinet, read through Project 2025 for some.

Probably the main concern for burners is the BLM, LEO, environmental impact statements, travel restrictions for international burners, rural funding programs affecting Gerlach, highway funding for 447, and to an extent the BIA governing our neighbor the Pyramid Lake Paiutes. I have found the BMORG government affairs group is solid.

This article talks about International affairs.

"In High-Stakes Negotiations, Trump’s Opponents Are Learning His Patterns

President Trump has long reveled in his reputation as a maximalist, issuing a huge demand, creating a crisis and setting off a high-pressure negotiation.

But increasingly often, he ends up backing down and simply declaring a win. His opponents appear to be catching on, sharpening their tactics based on Mr. Trump’s patterns and his unapologetically transactional attitude toward diplomacy.

The dynamic has played out repeatedly in recent weeks as Mr. Trump backed off, to varying degrees, on his plans to transform Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” turn Canada into the 51st state and beat China into submission with tariffs."

It might be seen as a bad look, is all I’m saying. Dread Lord Nyarlathotep is counting on us to defend ourselves against His deputized lich horde during this Orgy of Nullification. That possessed scrotum Tom Homan is practically giddy at the thought of someone doing everything they can to avoid being trampled, maimed, or arrested without cause. They’ve made mockeries out of the concepts of justice and freedom, but trying to hold them accountable for their actions will only prove them right. It would just confirm to our neighbors, loved ones, and those who need our help the most that you refuse these Death Cultists’ desperate attempt to warp our lives into grotesque facsimiles of human existence. It would only affirm you are willing to cloak yourselves in the only things that Nyarlathotep’s minions actually fear: righteous anger and abject ridicule.

The press secretary is an odd one. Here is more on our stable genius and Iran.

Second topic veterans.

I am not a veteran. There are quite a few VA news articles in the last few weeks. Collins is the Secretary of the VA. He had a town hall with staff.

"Today's demoralizing VA Town Hall
Original Analysis / OC
I was feeling pretty upset after today's townhall, so I transcribed it, and ran it through AI to analyze it. Here are a few of my takeaways for those of you who can't makes yourself watch it. It feels like people need to know what was actually said; especially those who care about Veterans, governement transparency, and accountability.

First: He was dismissive of valid employee concerns.

Throughout the town hall the questions posed were (mostly) thoughtful, concerned questions relating to the threats of RIFs, declining morale, and lack of resources. Rather than directly answer, Sec. Collins repeatedly reframed concerns as misnformed or exagerrated. At one point he literally says:

"Quit reading the stuff about this, lying about what we're doing."

If you're a VA employee with legitimeate fears surrounding your job or your ability to fucntion, this is a slap in the face. His tone consistently implied that we were either uninformed (spoiler alert we are because he forced people to sign NDA's), or being duped by external forces.

He maligned VA employees as inefficient or stagnant.

Several times he painted the picture of a bloated, inefficiant VA filled with unnecessary layers of bureaucracy - which *must* be cleaned out. While he paid lip service to "the good employees" this was outweight by the following quotes:

"We've gotten too comfortable with the ruts."

"Good people will not work where bad things are tolerated."

"If you're out there and you don't want to work on our Veterans... please find another job."

While i'm sure that this scored him points with those in congress of certain political leanings, it sends a clear message to employees you are the problem. It reflects a shitty leadership style, characterized by a top-down, punitive appraoch to leadership, not one built on trust, collaboration, or valuing any of us on the ground doing the work.

Repeatedly praised Community Care over VA Care

Community Care was consistently framed as not just equal to VA care - but in some ways preferable. Collins chastised VA staff for not referring more Veteran's out saying:

"Please quit thinking you have to keep every Veteran to only VA services..."

And when employees expressed concern about the quality fo outside care, he accused them of insulting their medical peers:

"You're throwing all your doctor colleagues under the bus."

This completely ignores very real concerns about continuity of care, oversight, and access in rural areas. It positions us as self-interested gatekeeprs rather than caring professionals trying to protect Veterans from fragmented care that likely has not benefited from specialized Veteran centric training.

He was hostile towards the press and public accountability.

He didn't just criticize the press - he made it a point to fully share his disgust. He specifically went after The Guardian after publishing an article that though it was perhaps a bit sensationalized - it did point out the changes to most VA hospitals discrimination policies. These were his quotes on the Guardian:

"So far below the National Enquirer, they'd have to look up to find them."

"Their ethical standards are of a gutter rat."

He repeatedly framed any media scrutiny as dishonest and dangerous - even suggesting it would lead Veterans to avoid seeking help. This framing isn't just antagonistic, it's actually dangerous. It shuts down accountability and invites retaliation to any of us who speak up.

In sum:

This wasn't leadership - this was a disgusting, ego-centric, damage control - that i'm sure he's likely to frame as "tough love you'd give to any family member." He was dismissive, defensive, critical and frankly disrespectful to all of us who work to keep the VA running. This was a red flag, and frankly really hard to watch. Our Veterans deserve better. So do we."
