TEASER – God, Guns, and Blood Money: Inside the Kremlin Church Running a Psy-Op on America

The Russian Orthodox Church, a longtime arm of the Kremlin, is running an intelligence operation targeting MAGA’s Christian nationalism, to help turn America into a dictatorship.

This week’s bonus show continues our conversation with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman. She exposes a sweeping op by the Kremlin’s church. You can read her investigation in the show notes. Russians, being white and Christian, get a pass that other terrorist regimes, like Iran, don’t. We fact check their mind-hacking op, and also answer questions from Gaslit Nation listeners–like if Putin and Trump got in a fight, who would win?

Whether it’s MAGA, the Kremlin, or the regime in Iran that looks on the verge of collapse, it’s the same mind-hack everywhere: confuse, divide, and exhaust. The antidote is clarity, which can only be maintained through self-care. This weekend, be sure to find some time in nature, and be gentle on yourselves and others. We’re all in this together, and we will overcome.
