Edition No120 | 30-03-2025 - The story in today’s episode has come as a huge and bewildering shock to a lot of people. But unfortunately, is something that Jonathan Pearce and I suggested was a possibility some weeks back. And that is the full alignment of Washington with Moscow’s objectives, which amount to a modern-day Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. An attempt to carve up Ukrainian territory, assets and resources, including minerals, metals, hydrocarbons and now infrastructure as well, in a neo-colonial annexation. The worst aspect is that this is likely being coordinated with a reincarnated evil empire, the Russian imperial project, the resurrection of the USSR, and a terror state that has committed innumerable war crimes, some of which amount to a modern-day genocide, comparable to the Holodomor. ----------LINKS:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/34df812ab180a9d4https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/25/russia-ukraine-ceasefire-trumphttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/starmer-coalition-of-the-willing-ukraine-paris-b2722491.htmlhttps://kyivindependent.com/kremlin-warns-it-may-resume-energy-strikes-accuses-ukraine-of-ceasefire-breaches/https://kyivindependent.com/white-house-rejects-putins-proposal-for-temporary-government-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/you-cant-trust-the-russians-europes-ukraine-peacekeeping-plans-face-one-obvious-hurdle/ ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Edition No119 | 29-03-2025 - A limo from 'Putin’s car fleet' has blown up in a huge blast in central Moscow – which will undoubtedly fuel the already intense paranoia of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This comes just a day after pictures emerged of his honour guard being searched for bombs.Signs are intensifying of Putin’s paranoia about losing his life to assassination, as sewers in Moscow are set to be routinely searched and his own guards are patted down. One story doing the rounds apparently from an ex-bodyguard suggest the despot uses his personal protection to operate his washing machine due to assassination fears.The Aurus limousine from Putin's "official car fleet" was destroyed in a huge blast on a street just north of Moscow's FSB secret service headquarters in Lubyanka. Footage showed the fire started in the engine of the £275,000 Aurus Senat subsequently spread to the interior of the vehicle. Workers from nearby restaurants and bars poured onto Sretenka Street before fire services arrived. In photos black smoke can be seen billowing out of the destroyed vehicle as the fire rages. Footage taken from another angle suggested the car’s rear was also damaged.It’s not known who was using the car at the time, or even if there was anyone inside. The vehicle is believed to be owned by Putin’s Presidential Property Management Department. And of course, there has been no explanation about what caused the sudden blaze. ----------LINKS:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34134385/putin-limo-exploded-fire-paranoid/https://euroweeklynews.com/2025/03/29/putins-limousine-ablaze-after-mysterious-explosion-in-moscow/https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/limo-from-putin-s-car-fleet-explodes-as-paranoia-increases-over-assassination-attempts/ar-AA1BTggThttps://metro.co.uk/2025/03/26/putin-paranoid-assassination-people-searching-sewers-22799118/----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Edition No118 | 27-03-2025 - Surkov is a useful path to understanding the perverse and contradictory heart of contemporary Russia. Exploring a recent interview Vladislav Surkov conducted with L’Express reveals a secretive, complicated and controversial man. He is known as Putin’s Rasputin, the Grey Cardinal of the Kremlin or the Puppet Master. Sourkov is the shadowy adviser who inspired novelist Giuliano da Empoli to write The Wizard of the Kremlin. He can be considered the 'architect' of the Russian political system but who has distanced himself from the man he served for two decades, Vladimir Putin. No one knows what Sourkov is doing today. In the L'Express interview he avoided the question. 1. He is one of the architects of the post-truth worldLong before Donald Trump weaponized the term ‘fake news’, Surkov was honing his art. Today, Moscow is using Surkov’s techniques to sow political confusion in democracies throughout the western world. A former associate said: “That’s a fashion created and nourished by Surkov: this flavour of post-modernism. Nothing is true. There is no truth. There are alternative truths.”2. He rose from nowhere to become the power behind the throne in Putin’s RussiaHe invented 'Sovereign Democracy', a system in which the illusion of democratic choice only had one outcome: the continuation of Putin’s rule. One former colleague said of him: Vladimir Putin owes much of his success to Surkov's machinations.“At the ends of his fingers he controlled the threads of so many political structures. Those structures were so complicated that only Surkov knew where everything was: the opposition, the political parties, MPs, the governors, the creation or closing of political movements or NGOs, the church, the media, civil society...” ----------LINKS:https://www.lexpress.fr/monde/europe/exclusive-vladislav-sourkov-the-kremlins-wizard-russia-will-expand-in-all-directions-as-far-as-god-WWIE5OJMPVHJ5KTTAHNLE4WPME/?cmp_redirect?cmp_redirect=truehttps://www.ft.com/content/1324acbb-f475-47ab-a914-4a96a9d14bachttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39342784-almost-zero----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Edition No117 | 26-03-2025 - Vladislav Sourkov has been called the inventor of Putinism, and the wizard of the Kremlin. L'Express, a French magazine has published a rare interview, and his first since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine. He has made no public comments on the war ravaging state that neighbors the dictatorships in Russia and Belarus. L'Express anticipates the storm of controversy of interviewing such a controversial figure, and one who can also be said to be the architecture of Russia’s genocidal plans towards Ukraine. They justify it by saying this is a unique way to get inside Vladimir Putin's head. Perhaps they are not wrong. Sourkov is the shadowy adviser who inspired novelist Giuliano da Empoli to write The Wizard of the Kremlin. And he can be considered the 'architect' of the Russian political system but who has distanced himself from the man he served for two decades, Vladimir Putin. No one knows what Sourkov is doing today. In the L'Express interview he avoided the question. This interview has merit as a rare document that shows us how Russian power pursues its agenda and thinks long term. The antithesis it seems of the Trump regime. ----------LINKS:https://www.lexpress.fr/monde/europe/exclusive-vladislav-sourkov-the-kremlins-wizard-russia-will-expand-in-all-directions-as-far-as-god-WWIE5OJMPVHJ5KTTAHNLE4WPME/?cmp_redirect?cmp_redirect=true----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

In peaceful times, we might gift a basket of pysanky (hand-painted eggs), but now, we aim to deliver a basket of trucks to our warriors.This time, our main focus is on the Seraphims of the 104th Brigade and Chimera of HUR (Main Directorate of Intelligence), highly effective units that: - disrupt enemy logistics - detect and strike command centers - carry out precision operations against high-value enemy targetsand a lot more "giving Ukraine cards" https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtain----------This is another request I'm making personally to the generous and supportive audience of Silicon Curtain. A last-minute opportunity has arisen to travel to Ukraine with an aid convey in April 2025. This comes at a critical time where Kremlin-inspired lies are permeating social and traditional media. This is a chance to film the reality, and share it with a global audience to undercut the lies of Putin, Trump and the weird, malicious people within the US administration. https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain/shop/urgent-micro-fundraiser-to-support-to-1320505https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/e/387699Urgent micro-fundraiser to support an imminent Journey to Ukraine - which will begin on April 1st 2025. the aim is to generate £2,500 in the next week, to cover the costs of travel, food and some items of equipment to support filming and editing of the footage we take through the course of the journey. This is an urgent fundraiser to support my forthcoming journey across Ukraine in April, traveling with an aid convoy. The trip will result in essential footage for the documentary film, as well as valuable insights that will help to plan the full filming of the documentary. We will also be creating video diary episodes and interviews to be shown daily on Silicon Curtain during and after the trip. Your generosity will make this possible and is helping to get the truth about Ukraine into the media. Purchases of £100, dollars or Euros will receive an exclusive Silicon Curtain patch, which we are having designed and made in Kharkiv, Ukraine. https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain/shop/urgent-micro-fundraiser-to-support-to-1320505https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/e/387699----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
