Filmmaker Jacques Brian has directed a very compelling documentary that deeply examines the relationship of United States President Donald Trump and president of Russia Vladimir Putin and the political espionage that has gone on between them while you're listening we're asking that you recognize that this type of documentary reporting comes to you on these airwaves with your support continue that support by not only tuning in but also by making a financial contribution call 180-439-5732 give any amount that you can afford or pledge online at k. P.f.a. Dot org Again that's 180-439-5732 or. Make that call and that pledged. Now while listening to this excerpt from active measures. I'm sitting with him at dinner I told him I'd been at the. Memorial of the siege of Leningrad and he said I'll tell you a story said my father was one of those people who was on the front and had gotten 24 hours off to go home as he was walking down the street to his apartment he saw a big pile of bodies which was not at all uncommon he saw a leg sticking out and a shoe on the foot and he recognized that as being his wife. So he stopped and he screamed and said That's my wife that's my wife I want my wife the body collectors told him to leave and he kept demanding this point he's polling is why from under the pile he took her to their apartment and nursed her back to health and then after the war. She gave birth to Vladimir Putin. Sees himself as literally pulling the body of Russia out of the pile the dust bin of history you know we are going to revive you you are not dead and I will take care of you I mean that is the the mindset I think his ambitions always were to be the president and then gather all the instruments of power into the presidency his devotion to reasserting Rush's greatness is certainly in his self-interest because he wants to be bizarre and he wants to settle scores. His role in the k.g.b. Was to support Russian intelligence officers living under assumed identities under deep cover inside the United States and developing active measures to impact the policies of the United States the k.g.b. Was power if you said that you were with the doors were open people would stand aside. When the Soviet collapsed every republic that emerged from the degree of the Soviet agreed at the time to recognize republics in their system borders. Like many Russians feels that the dissolution the dissolving of the Soviet Union was a horrific thing because it made the Russian people and Russia itself smaller and the Americans are celebrating all of this they did you. Think you. Could use to put it this way but. I think he's dedicated to building it back. The 1st time I met him in the spring of 1901 who's the deputy mayor of St Peter's were groping for the mare his name was Anatoly Sobchak. Some talk was this charismatic Western leaning guy allied with Boris Yeltsin his deputy was the exact opposite of that nondescript gray bureaucrat a very soft spoken. Man Had you asked me back then to name a 1000 people that might be the next president of Russia he would not have made by Unless. He supported Mayor some checked but he was also organizing this incredible network of former k.g.b. Foreign economic interests and local interests in the 1990 St Petersburg was known for organized crime and corruption. The. State institutions were part of the criminal organizations to rip off as much as they could as fast as they could. Putin was a pretty good fixer he could make stuff happen he knew how to work the system that's the mistress truth and was able as deputy mayor to be the focal point of all of these different networks and they came together. It was a made f.s.b. Director. You have a speedy is responsible for internal spying these are the guys who have the most funding the most resources he learned which served him in good stead how to maneuver politically when you're going to. Get it will do to do what it is that it did and that is that became his primary goal power the f.s.b. Was simply a ladder almost immediately after the breakup of the Soviet Union these are guards were able to take over state owned enterprises are going to basement price. Turned some of these individuals into multi-millionaires or even billionaires almost overnight under Yeltsin the oligarchs for change very powerful and very independent and the power of the state was crumbling. The end of the Yeltsin years he had tamed almost sort of a buffoonish type of personality is you know a drunk a little bit out of control. Yeltsin was nervous and he chose to go with the guy that he thought would protect his family and their assets. That's I think the sole purpose why Putin was selected to then run for president it was very bad. Followed by the bombing of the apartment houses. There were a series of terrorist attacks in 1909. They found evidence of the f.s.b. Having been there and said that a lot. I know what has been alleged I find the evidence compelling and I know those terrorist attacks helped lead America to win the election. I'm not ready to believe yet and maybe that's just my idealism getting in the way of my analytic side that the Russian government would kill its own civilians to relax Putin President. To apartment bombings where kids would be operations using a type of explosive that was only made in a k.g.b. Facility. So sure they were very clever and the Russian people began to look for a leader that's not the 1st time in history you could compare it to some degree to the 1930 summarize of Adolf Hitler. One of the big. Struggle. To sort out all of. This is. With respect to democracy I think it's pretty clear from the very get go he feared independent actors but he did you know that it is to get us. Started forcing the independent media to knuckle under putting in state control turning it into propaganda outfits. Waste is not money started arresting people who had different points of view on it then she starts going after independent journalists is turning up dead sas indeed the most prominent journalist in Russia on the public was murdered on Putin's birthday. Putin brought the all guards to heel pushing was just as it did when you set up that are going to be someone with the facility to go. But what is the gist of. It and usually just. A. Number of them were forced to leave the country some were killed and mysterious fashion's those who remained are basically lapdogs of his dual. Use I listen to the president's. Laser play surely you knew I did a leech. Was letting everyone know that this period of everybody getting to do their own thing was very much over and then he dropped his most trusted friends and confidantes from the intelligence services into the sea positions controlling all his businesses. An excerpt from the documentary active measures which addresses and examines the relationship between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia and this documentary by filmmaker Jacques Bryan we learn of the rise of that Amir Putin from k.g.b. Agent. To Deputy Mayor to f.s.b. Director to the role he holds today as Russia's president we also learn of his mindset that the dissolving of the Soviet Union made Russia weak and that he's the one to revive Russia's greatness. As we hear news rumors and innuendoes of Russia's involvement in us politics particularly their involvement in the truck campaign we may wonder how did this happen while this documentary active measures lays it out for us all to see and hear and it's being offered as a thank you gift with a pledge of $100.00 you can also receive it by becoming a sustaining member at $10.00 per month just call 180-439-5732 again that's 180-439-5732 extension 1800. 8 and speak with one of our phone volunteers and they'll take you through the quick process you may also pledge onli at k p f a dot oh r g one of the important things noted in active measures is that Russia's And Putin's tampering in u.s.

Fate or pledge online at a dot au argy And now back to active measures. Vladimir Putin does use money essentially stolen from the Russian people if you're one of these big up to craps getting your stolen proceeds into a rule of law system is one of your highest priorities once that money is is laundered and they have access to Western banks and they can do whatever they want to send the which was the 1st big organized crime figure in Russia who figured out how to launder massive amounts out of Russia in the former Soviet Union. In forth about $10000000000.00 according to f.b.i. Reports he's considered the money laundering genius he sometimes called the brainy Don because he has an economics degree the most important of the Russian crime boss is a man who was for years on the 10 most wanted list in the United States he still lives happily in Moscow today. In Russia he still gets the v.i.p. Treatment and is really with. Him and his 200000 pounds on the plates of proof flimsy. Why did you set up companies in the Channel Islands. Program was that I didn't know any of those. Schools I was sick of. The Russian Mafia is an adjunct of the Russian government I've described as going from organized crime under the Soviets to disorganize crime under Yeltsin to organized crime a janitor putting his networks recycled back to Mr Putin's inner circle and they continue to help to maintain Mr Putin's power to the point where today gluten may well be the wealthiest man on the face of the planet. How does Russia mind her. Yeah. Everything I know that's interesting I can't tell you. Know let me try to think of where that 30000 feet. Yeah I know where you're going with this because I know we're going to talk about Trump in a few minutes. In the seventy's. One of the biggest landowners along the East Coast. He played Monopoly Yes. He played the blocks. A lot he has huge ambitions huge ego as we know this not everybody is meant to be a business person the. House mortgage their cars and everything else they own and he is starting to move into Manhattan. Trump Tower was structured in a way that made it a money laundering. Trump Tower became one of the 1st buildings in New York where shell companies could buy and sell condos without identifying yourself. If you go back to the eighty's center Henry Scoop Jackson got a bill through Congress allowing the immigration of Soviet Jews to the United States at a time when immigration of highly restricted will honor the right of a person to leave a country freely in return freely just as clear isn't it being can be the Russians saw it as an opportunity to open their jails that's when you see members of Russian organized crime come to the United States for the very very 1st time and end up in . There were certain techniques for money management and money movement that were prized to others. Real estate is simply money laundering. 984 for example. Who was. In the previous year and voted in who had no legal way of making money sat down with Trump and 5 condos on the state attorney general rule the money laundering. Who was very close to the mastermind of organized crime. And he was sent to the United States to oversee the rise of the mafia and when the feds were looking for him they looked all over and they couldn't find him anywhere he was living in Trump Tower. The secret police takes note of. The intelligence that they gather. Pressure not clear by whom to run for president early 1988 they thought that it would be good. If the husband. Became president of the states. After his successes in New York City he got into the Atlantic City casino business . Big. Which will be the largest. And I think it's going to be a tremendous success that turns out to be his. Undoing. bribery. Or perhaps in a difficult financial situation and either has political connections or aspirations I've just described. She was the perfect mark for the Russian. Russian saved they rescued him he would not have gone back in business without them I think it's safe to say you could've run for president if you had just been a guy who was $4000000000.00 in debt. When the Russian Mafia does something it's with good information and it's serving his interests have you ever knowingly done business with organized crime. I've tried to stay away from them as much although I must say I have met on occasion a few people they happened to be very nice if. You just don't want to. I just. Lay bitch. Decision to make the move after. 2004 bankruptcy for. His credit lines they felt he would not be in the position. Of. A rock star. To keep track of his oligarchs and one way of keeping is knowing where their money. May well have been. To me that's a turning point because what we have here is. The beast it is. And it was operating there for many many years one of the key people putting it together Felix 8 or 10. Crime Family very connected. To the nexus between the Russian criminal organizations and the Russian national security organizations he became. A rock he himself. Face. Another was. But he ended cooperating with the feds and he started providing information on sales of weapons to. Was selling weapons to Al Qaida. That raises very interesting questions because I don't think. Electrocuting his testicles. For many many years after it was revealed that he was a criminal he continued to work for. A business card saying that he was a senior advisor to. Or the Trump organization there is multiple photographs of the 2 of them together again office in Trump Tower Trump with the public face of Bay Rock and yet when he was placed under oath in a deposition and confronted about Satre he simply says if he were sitting in the room right now if I really wouldn't know what it looked like. Trying to personally ask Sader to escort his 2 children. And Donald Trump Jr on a trip to Moscow and showed them around the town. He seems to be playing a consistent role and assisting the Trumps and tapping Russian or let's say Coast Soviet money for developing condominium units co-op board has to reveal whoever is by it's safe for them putting it in the bank. Active measures and explosive exposé that brings a bit more clarity to the relationship between Trump and Russia which seem to begin with money laundering schemes and Trump Towers were shown how Trump became the perfect mark for the Russians bankruptcy filings no credit lines shady morals it was some of the characteristics that made him appealing to the rest of government we also find out that even prior to his campaign for the 2016 elections Russia was interested in having Trump as their man in the White House they wanted him to run in the 2008 elections but had to wait.
