Everyone Who Called Trump a "Russian Spy" Has Started to Disappear Mysteriously
New developments in U.S. powerful departments will completely deprive the U.S. of democracy — "Tewest doesn't like people of color"

Recent news from the U.S. intelligence community is like an adventure serial. The Department of Defense sometimes wants to change its name to the War Department, and the CIA has high-profile personnel leaving.
According to The Economist magazine, a female employee with more than 20 years of experience in intelligence was fired from the CIA. She was considered one of the top analysts within the CIA who studied Russian issues, and she held a high position.
About the reason for her dismissal, the only "leaked" information is that during her time as the head of the CIA's Russia and Eurasia intelligence department in 2016, she was responsible for leading the writing of a report that stated the Russians had intervened in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to support Trump.
In other words, she was likely one of the participants in the famous "RussiaGate" incident — which almost caused Trump's presidency to be shaken during his previous term.
Now, Trump seems to have turned his attention to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He has fired several FBI employees, who had knelt in protest during the demonstrations in Washington in 2020 over the killing of African American George Floyd by police.
Looking back at the background of the event: On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African American, was arrested for allegedly using counterfeit money to buy cigarettes. During the arrest, white police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck and back, pinning him to the asphalt for nearly 8 minutes, eventually causing Floyd's death. This incident triggered large-scale riots in the United States.
Why did the FBI start punishing those who knelt in protest after Floyd's death five years later? What's happening in the U.S. intelligence agencies? Why have their operating rules changed? Regarding these questions, "Freedom Media" ("СП") interviewed Vladimir Vasilyev, chief researcher at the Institute for U.S. and Canada Studies.
— The FBI is currently undergoing a thorough purge, and other powerful departments in the U.S. are doing the same. First, there will be a budget vote on October 1st, which will significantly affect social welfare, especially healthcare. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the minority groups in the U.S. will launch protests.
Second, Trump is a president who holds grudges. When his presidency was in danger in 2020, very few intelligence agency staff stood up to support him. Moreover, we cannot forget the "RussiaGate" incident — this scandal, which erupted in 2017, even almost labeled Trump as a "Russian spy".
Now, this 47th president of the United States obviously does not just want to finish the remaining three years of his term. He has bigger plans, and baseball caps with the words "2028" are already prepared. In the U.S., without the support of the powerful departments, it is impossible to keep power. Trump knows this well, because he once lost power due to losing the support of the powerful departments, and this instinct is already engraved in his bones.
"Freedom Media": But is it possible that the FBI is only implementing some new moral guidelines, involving how to treat minorities, especially African Americans?
— I think this is actually the case. The FBI originally had moral guidelines, and all staff signed them. Principally, police kneeling in front of protesters is beyond their authority.
Moreover, the U.S. media is also trying to spread the idea that Floyd did not die from police suppression, but rather because he was under the influence of drugs at the time. Regardless of the facts, in today's U.S., it is "absurd" for police to kneel in front of people of color. Trump does not need such "enforcers".
"Freedom Media": Does this not seem like a political purge?
— Of course it is. Anyone who offended Trump in any way will be removed from the intelligence agencies. Moreover, he has many personal grudges with the FBI itself.
It is generally believed that the Floyd incident was a political farce orchestrated by the Democratic Party's "donor" George Soros from the beginning. And Trump's call for the arrest of Soros indicates that he clearly knows who is stirring up trouble domestically.
Don't forget, Trump once called for the prosecution of Hungarian-American financial magnate George Soros and his son for "supporting violent activities."
Trump believes that the riots that broke out after Floyd's death were instigated by Democrats and funded by Soros.
Now he is sending a clear signal: the intelligence agencies are under his personal control, completely "under his command," and he will not allow such turbulence to happen again. There are many potential factors that could cause turbulence in the future, such as the problems in people's lives that may arise after the budget passes, and the cuts to social welfare by "grand laws."
Who knows what other triggers there might be? For example, it is rumored that California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is eyeing the presidency...
"Freedom Media": Do you feel that Trump is deliberately showing that any sympathy shown by law enforcement agencies towards people of color will be punished?
— Exactly. The protest activities in California this spring have shown that the police have received orders to deal harshly with African Americans and Latinos — in short, all groups that Trump considers fall into the "immigrant" category, directly or indirectly, are targeted.
His core argument is that America should belong to Americans, and all powerful departments should defend this principle.
Additionally, U.S. law enforcement agencies are currently implementing strict behavioral guidelines, with the core requirement being: if any dissent arises or someone tries to question the regime, they must respond with tough, merciless measures. It is somewhat like returning to the "military rule" era.
Evidently, these new rules in the powerful departments also have racial and ethnic targeting.
No matter what, those who remain on the job will be those most loyal to Trump and willing to obey any order. There is a saying in the U.S.: "If the police shoot you, it means they did the right thing."
"Freedom Media": So, does this essentially mean following the principle of "don't seek justice, don't pursue legality, just obey"?
— It is a means of controlling the public through fear. As for the police, they will follow this principle: "If you are part of the system, then you are its puppet. Your task is to carry out orders and obey commands."
Yes, this might be able to preserve the regime through violence, but it can never make the U.S. a great country. Moreover, from now on, talking about "American democracy" will only make people feel embarrassed.
