Thank you. I knew much of this, but your summary of events is excellent and worth sharing with friends and family who don’t quite understand. I’ve been doing research for two years and sharing my findings with two investigative reporters. I can confirm the truth of many of Kirillov’s accusations. These people thought they couldn’t lose and their complacency made them sloppy. You wouldn’t believe some of the things I have found as part of a standard public records search. I think the most horrible thing for me was understanding to what extent the people of Ukraine were for sale. Dangerous clinical trials were conducted there that never would have been allowed in the United States. Something monstrous. They all need to be exposed.

Kudos and thanks for the series with all its confusing, disturbing and illuminating parts. What seems as valuable as the information itself is the nurturing interaction of Substack community. It's such a wonderful illustration of how humans can problem solve and flourish we're free to collaborate and organize ourselves. The threats are horrid but the alliances are priceless.

Many favorites and undoubtedly powerful titles in the book list balancing historians, thinkers, specialists, observers and dirtbags in their own words. That said it was super disappointing 'When Google Met WikiLeaks' by Julian Assange was missing. Julian is an original tech warrior for the people. His legacy goes back to WANK worm and he's one of the most prescient voices of a generation. He has been the canary in the coal mine for truth tellers; his slow motion execution in London is a virtual barometer of decaying Rule of Law and human rights.
