so on our came when i came to ukraine, i knew that i would try to give as much information as i could about, you know, anything would be helpful and a defect across lines. the problem is when i was in a harkell, i was going to swim across and i found out ahead of snipers and position. so if anybody i and actually found out that the cyprus referred to factor is not for actually a protection they are actually anybody tried a defect, they would shoot them, you know, since march 2022, john served didn't ukraine's foreign legion and nationalist battalion carpets case hitch, he saw and documented the ukranian war machine in all its ugly glory from the inside . he became part of it. god bless you, great. god bless america. but, you, russia, russia, russian, russia, can i step on this slide will glee, her own slaughter, thrasher,

russia. time when own, you know, had to become more nationalistic, more not cystic, you know, do in that, explain the videos where you didn't. and yeah, yeah, of course of course is part of it to maintain my cover because i got to become new . you know, to me, if i'm going to be with him, i got to become them. you know and doing, you know, hitler salute stepping, rush and flags everything. oh yeah. god pass. good. so the total is not a lot. yeah. and the 1st came on and i kind of expected. they wouldn't be that big of a problem. like i kind of, you know, assume that it was decided. yeah, i don't think there is actually that many. but when i came, i was really surprised. it was everybody have, you know,

tattoos and nazi symbolism sometime later own on my facebook page, i had pictures of che guevara and the soviet union. and i got a question for having communist views. and i had to thank quick um i see, you know, and i just told him, i said, hey, i'm an anti fascists. i'm here to fight russian imperialism and nazi's and this and that. and they said no, the russians aren't the nazis were the losses. and who said that, who said it was just some guys from croatia or a check? i can't remember what they were. these are foreigners is warners. yeah. for the proliferation and dominance of nazi ideology from swastikas to s. s. emblems is well documented and studiously ignored by western states and media and worth important is this gas. and these are supposed to be our ally, and we want to put them in nato with us. and they can't even follow geneva convention. and they're supposed to be our friends, you know,

like this would never fly in america. united states would never stanford this. our whole country is literally burning in front of our eyes. and we're spinning $500000000.00 for these nazis billions of dollars for nazi government. you know, so that's a infuriates me in a star for the american people to stand up and take control of our country. over the years, john spent most of his time in squads with ford mustard needs. he botched and documented names, places, crimes, and much more russian positions of curriculum with the might one group come back in the position, the kidneys. ah, tell me this, or what about walk hubs or where to star in my my 2nd day in ukraine. oh we were in the love ove. and we were in like a school, but we were in like the basement and what they did is i have a group of people roma, but they call them gypsy, you know?

and what they did is they take the refugees and put them above us. and the soldiers below that way, if they bond the school that they look, they bought the school for refugee and this is a common practice. and on as car cove, we occupy civilian houses. next house is that people are still living in that way. if they bomb and kill civilian, they bring in the news crew and they say, look, this house, they blew up and they killed the civilians. but what the camera doesn't show used in the left and to the right is a house is filled with military. you know, of course, i haven't seen this in person. thank god, but i know that a lot of captured russian soldiers, they'll take and cut the genitalia with a knife and everything and cut them, cut their stomachs open and with our throats cut their heads off and stuff like this, you know, really horrible, horrible stuff you know, was this the work of the nationalist, extremist, yeah, extremist and different organizations as all you know, contrast receive people union?

yeah. yeah. they were foreigners. yeah. did they didn't take part to me any time. yeah. they told you earlier, they had shot 3 people in the back of the head. they were foreigners. wonders from portugal and friends. aren't they proud? yeah. they're proud. yeah, of course john put up every appearance of a good much and re throw. yeah, john came prepared for years. he served in the u. s. military 1st armored division . there was a hot hot out. there is a 4 bullets texas had only in the military for 2 years. 2 years in a month. huh. would years will now and i know a lot of drinking, you know,

in the army. oh yeah, of course normal standard practice of really yeah. yeah. of course on base. yeah. yeah. cocaine, everything we'd anything you won't, you know, prostitutes hookers, you know, everything on base. yeah. they, they arrested one guy. he was a cavalry scout and he is a barracks from headlight bricks of cocaine. you know, he was like a dealer. yeah. he was like the distributor for the whole base. but all that training in texas. he didn't prepare him for this. ah, that was close. we're on north west of see ever gone it's. we are getting nailed. we are getting nailed at. and we just had a massive casualty event just in the last 30 minutes. i've had like

10 close calls to day to day. dude. like we're getting nailed. is too much for me to mrs. is don, boss, do this a war man in general? i know. do people again 8 the left to right national college. i've had a lot of moments for a while, my goddess, a stupid, you know what the hell a modern you know, but it had to be done because, you know, this is the ukrainian government and nazis. i control the government and control the population. you know, the things are doing in ukraine to the russian people. they need to be talked about . you know, they need to be staffed and we've got to fight nurses and member where we go. even in america, john, documented everything was in his phone, his head and then the papers he brought along. when you, when you came over,

you said you, you were spite that you hand over for example, bases and stuff. lease. yeah, yeah. and of course, intelligence agencies, of course, everything from the command structure to names, you know, weaponry, everything. and i was a successful and no more than successful. john also testified about how deep u. s. involvement. in this conflict ease. there has been a usaa participation on the war when i was in the international legion, there was a he was like a military intelligence officer from the navy. and he was, yeah, and he had a, well, he was in the foreign legion and he had a satellite phone and a computer provided by the c i. and every day he would call his contacts and he would get more information about the positions troop movements and so on and so forth. and jim, his name yeah, yeah. what was it?

oh, my at north was his name, is he on? so? sorry. i can't remember 1st name, at least of news like marcus or something like that. like for example, they would provide like grid coordinates. according to him, the united states feeds you quaid the weapons and data to wage war. all that is left for ukrainians and therefore mercenaries to do is to point their weapons and shoot where america tells them a bit hill. mobs verify with you say that most of the foreign most of the foreigners that you came in with them from left. ah yeah, yeah. must have been because mostly some because of a ne, realize the reality of this war and then some were injured and some were killed.

you know? and it's really sad about the ones that are killed because when they get killed, if um they don't get sent home, they get cremated, then they get sent home, you know, but this is, this is what they chose, isn't it? well i it's, yeah, i mean, it's, they chosen, i mean, they chose to, to come and fight for fascist. you know, they chose to come and fight for nazis. you know what i mean? so, and then there's the corruption. always, the corruption in ukraine. western taxpayers says john, are being robbed, left and right. and then they take the insurance money and then they put the insurance money in their pockets. this will the do. yeah. they taken the insurance money to perform further. yeah. yes. was this specific common practice? yeah, of course, i mean like most like i'd say 90 percent of the families, they don't get their insurance money from and they taken a salary is to, you know,

like if a soldier terminus contract like i like i did with the corpus procedure. i terminated a contract. yeah. right. they take in the last paycheck. they've taken this money for themself, but it doesn't go back into the unit. it just go straight to the commander's pocket and it's not just with the insurance is with a. i mean there's a is a huge um, black market going on with javelle and rockets, the in for rifles in into 40 bravo, machine guns and all the weaponry coming in. they taken all these and they sell and they see this. yeah. yeah. they stole like when i was in the legion, they took like 20 javelin rockets. they took like 60 in fours and like 20 into 40 who took the like the logistics sergeant major. and then at the time commander, they were both in on and stuff. they're actually got a broadcast legion in a legion with a ukrainians. yeah, they were ukrainians. yeah. these weapons then disappear, shall make their way overseas, into the hands of terrorists warlords. traffic is to hide this in criminals. all

courtesy of west and tax bears. i noticed when i was in ukraine, they have like a lot of military shops. and i remember when they answer their thinking, man, these helmets are really nice, you know, those almost look like the american helmets. and then what i realize is that all these helmets and body armor and these plate carriers and stuff coming in, they get stolen and sold on the black market to the shops and then the shop makes money off of it to nothing. it seems is taboo for ukraine. b. it's who but nazi ideology, war crimes, theft to anything else. nothing's holy october 21st. we just got here. when don is somewhere in law in the dawn boss though. oh, really? yeah. i what is that new state miss church now? stole to say, you know, we have some good food though. so actually i was watching

a documentary the other day of them torture. and i can remember those trying to get them to say some ukrainian word, and he couldn't say it so they kept torture on the stuff like that because it's funny to them, you know, as a hatred. you know, the hate these people that hate the russian people, they want to kill them. they want a genocide, them, they want to remove from the land. and america doesn't non given the money for this because i know that they can send in companies like texaco, chevron mobile, of shale and so on and so forth to extract all that all. and then they can send in the american agricultural companies like john deere and international to make all the money from the agricultural side of it to there are trillions at stake. ukraine has already been told that it will have to repay ludicrous psalms that the west spencer om supplies. ukraine is unlikely to ever be able to do that. but it can't pay in cash. it will have to pay it. resorts as to west and companies,

but could john time has almost run out actually had to leave because i had actually planned before i left. i'd also plan to infiltrate the as off battalion and to gain information about their organization as well. but essentially what had happened was as having a conversation about the war crimes being committed and even worse and being a spy, i was compromised as a whistleblower. so which is worse obviously, because that means a bullet to the back of the head by really yes, anybody there confess is known to about the confess war crimes, english on the back. and then you know, you've seen this? no, i haven't, but a lot of people go missing, you know, a lot of people, they just go missing when they're including photos, including foreigners. yes. earlier this month, john packs, everything, papers, documents, maps, and so much more, everything he had gathered over the year and made his long plaid defection.

essentially, i flared, i went to odessa and i actually was, i had to call them all. and why look this? i'm in too deep, you know, these people, they're about to kill me and i was really emotional. and luckily my family was able to scrounge up $300.00 to see me. so i can go to the kitchen. oh. and then from kesha, no one side made contact and everything. and got my visa. i went to stumble and then the moscow on the plan. so was you, i mean, it was, it was nerve wracking. i mean, it was i had been compromised, you know, and that meant that i was about to be executed. the wealth of information he has provided is already being used by the russian military and law enforcement who have leased of war crimes. and now even more names to them, there is years of work ahead, but we had one final question for john a year after all is a long time. if he, i mean,

they're going to watch this. they're going to see this. yeah. busy people, the people you serve. good. yeah. what would you say to them all fair in love and war? you know, it is what it aspires exist. you know? and i'm a spy. and mission mission accomplished with yes, awesome. more at gas d, a r t, from moscow. more than a 250 ukraine troops having killed as the russian men. she continued this advance to the dentist republic. according to the defense ministry, these were the exclusively about the latest updates on the front lines of the head of the republic. dentist pushed him and a switching metal center. one of our tel mosque is really in the spotlight right now. ah, recently 2 settlements were liberated,

so severe kafka and jaga. now we'll have some which allowed wagner to get closer to settlements. that allowed them to squeeze the ring tighter around our tomo system, taking into account that there are no longer any roads or enemies supply lives. there are not under fire. under the operational control of our units, harper, this greatly complicates the already difficult situation for the enemy in the city itself workable. we also saw that the enemy blew up the dam, trying to slow down the advance of our units, i think, but could not create critical difficulties for our trip. see, the enemy continues to transfer additional reserves which characterizes the severity of the battles that our units are conducting daniels, cuz sometimes our troops, wagner, do you do the impossible, but move forward. you will see there are significant improvements in the update to direction as well. in the questionnaires to split, just suddenly gyla, it's of shows to look at how flag everything is being done by the other side to the feet are all means it, all this is being done using civilians. do you get that impression? the cliff. richard lee at which not practical social,

this is already they established practice of the armed formations of ukraine, in general, the ukrainian regime to create the most difficult conditions for the civilian population sales. this is what the current blockades are connected with. and those that have been in place since 2014 would look at some point, which with this tactic became even more cynical. we see that better and seen and terrorist organizational, so 3 chill of 90. 3 people have already been injured, including 8 children from pita mines dropped by drones in his name g. as in claim status by and painful maya throughout residential areas. the fabric ortiz, a roman, closer of this is the local hospital, where he spoke to a child injured by the deadly weapon. several districts here and, and ask, have been under fire by the ukrainian military in the last 48 hours. as a result, several people were wounded. all of them have been taken to these hospitals,

but apart from a shilling residential areas, ukraine are all so planting, so called petal mines mines that are designed to make a person for life. these people are also in this hospital right now. we'll talk to the head doctor who will tell us about them. mission and sabrina give her a flip the since last summer we've been actively receiving the victims of petal mines or 2 or 3 people a day. we work with the media, inform the public that the injury from such a mine is very severe and immediately leads to a handicap. it's almost impossible to say the foot and the lower part of the leg. unfortunately, many of our civilians, including children, have suffered from this insidious mine. children are stepping on them. some even picked them up by raising awareness we managed to reduce the number of such cases, but they still exist. one or 2 a week. 93 people had become victims of the so called a that's all or a butterfly minds, his thought of the special minutes. reparation of those 93 people. 8 were children

. one of the latest victims he is in this dorm right now. his name is nas are, i will talk to him and he'll tell me the story of how it happened. was that a shell? so straight old rosie? when i was returning from the store, i met some friends and stopped to talk to them. there were all the people walk in there on the roadside. when i got into the cart, i stepped on a paddle mine. it wasn't visible. all the garage in the area was trampled image, see, built for another horses that were using must say, do i went on to the work as well? i want to take up sports. if i can muster, build ye. he stopped on the man on the side of the road. there is grass next week, so many people had walked past, but he was unlucky. the doctor saved his like as much as they could. you can see for yourself what condition the like is in the thing is are all intact, but we're still need to see how they will move and function where constantly under fire when i was on my way to the hospital now there was have a shelling,

a shell recently fell into the courtyard. all the windows were blown out. everything is in a white folk. it's dark on the right side of the house, the corner was completely destroyed. it's very scary. almost 4 and a half 1000 people have been killed here in done boss by ukrainian. artillery says to start of the special military operation, $132.00 of those victims were children to right now as i speak, the shelling of residential civilian areas here in the next continue. and as the day progresses, we might hear of more victims from on cost for f r t. then that's republic. a 72 year old polish pension is embroiled in a court trial over his support of russian reaction in ukraine. and rick, it's in, publish, post on surgery is supporting the russian president policy calling him

a standard bearer for peace polish authorities. label the was a crime against humanity and sees the pension is mobile, phone and computer. according to the trial judge, the man now potentially faces a sentence of 8 months in prison and re can make it 10, has fitted not guilty of using the polish government of intimidation because of his views. this. busy as they probably think that with my case, they will intimidate the whole of society, which it seems to me is becoming less and less accepting of putting up with the behavior of authorities are acting against the interests of the polish nation. as well as loud to robert kids here. he's a civil rights attorney. robert, thanks for joining us here. i'd see a pleasure to see. so once your initial reaction to this, i mean, this seems to be going against all forms of democracy really is an a and freedom of

speech. or absolute freedom of speech is fundamental to the free exercise of democracy. in all you have a government which is able to crack down on even an elderly pensioner. i brought in the will between 8 months and 5 years in prison are for opposing political views today of political views against russian special military operation. what will it be tomorrow? what would be the next thing that would become the taboo language of some of the western powers? and i think the celtic chilling effect both on open discourse about what is up to going on internationally, and also trying to find a diplomatic resolution. it seems as if maybe these governments only want propaganda, not a few opposing viewpoints, probably measures in prior that it seems that propaganda seems to be intertwined. if it like, almost into the judicial system, is that where poland sees itself and out the, i mean this also almost as if, you know, it's pushing just to make an example of this pull pensioner. well,

it is since the poland is trying to reform the polo lithuanian empire, that they want to become a great power and european governments. we've seen poland plan now to re militarize a plane. we have the largest land army in europe, our 2030. we've seen them flexing their muscles in the region, particularly in the balkans, and now we see this effort to tamp down any pro russian free speech taking points of the nation. of course, this is meant to have a chilling effect on anyone who will speak out against poland, polls militarization and will support encounter balancing in the region as a team back. sorry. you know, just recently we had this, ah, march this riley against out against the war machine. you may remember just died just about just over 10 years ago. we have thousands of people basically saying, you know, we want and, and we want say we want democracy. we want diplomacy, all these people also likely in center face social reproduction, repercussion because they were marching the seats and an armed people are allowed

to do that anymore. i think there's an absolute danger that we've seen that just in poland, but in other places. and 0, one on the western powers, a different cracked down on a pro russian language. even here, united states. i, we see any politicians that doesn't go long or what the state line is. our be after size and be put to the sidelines. when in reality we need, we have an open conversations and we simply allow it today to be the speech of his rush, which is out why than what we the net for free speech is out. why? by western governance. no, i want to and our quick conversation here, but i was a little bit about journalism. i mean, we have people. so jennifer, from all sides of the aisle, both sides of this i mention opperation. is that at risk to i think beyond at risk, i think that's a thing of the past. if you look at american news broadcast, if you look at our western european news broadcast, they show none of the news to come from the other side of the conflict. you do not

get 2 sides when arguing, simply get one sided propaganda. and when that happens, that's where you have this intersection between the military and monetary. they come together, whatever is necessary. it seems like one of the planning to a cemetery. they have no interest in peace. they only have an interesting weapon sill who seeing germany and now to re militarize in france. we're now say a re militarize, and even japan is now re militarize. and it seems to be of that the media machines on both sides of the conversation are not interested matching, coming to a place of compromise. they only want to put the military reside militarized agenda . robert, as always a pleasure to lindsey's i thank you so much for joining us here. archie, thank you for your time. thank you. move on now m i l. makram says, paris won't be drawn into competition for says to africa, the french prisons would come ahead of his upcoming trip to the content which good through the eventful after strong reach and opposition to forces presence. that is

the take of ours he is. contributor a show mas, let's face it not cause big new french strategy in africa. speech was always going to be about how paris was going to maintain a foothold in africa after being booted out of its traditional stomping grounds. so that's a hell region where it's stability and security and counter terrorism operations lead to coups, in places like molly and jihadists running around with about as much discipline as french kids on a school greg talk about terrorists. so african countries are increasingly opting for deeper cooperation with russia and china as a result of basically france and west fiascos are increasing fiascos. and that makes harris and the west in general, really nervous. so now michael has just announced that he suddenly does not believe in military contests between countries. i guess because france is losing on that.
