One of the Kremlin's greatest skills is plausible deniability. That's how they got away with paying MAGA influencers for so long: they used shell companies. Putin's oligarchs are walking, talking Kremlin bribes. And one just bankrolled large parts of Don Jr.'s wedding to the daughter of Epstein's banker who enabled Epstein's crimes for decades. It's one big tansnational crime syndicate wedding from hell, and Gaslit Nation was not invited!

This week's Gaslit Nation bonus show discusses the crime spree of Don Jr.'s wedding and what's really behind the A.I. panic. To listen to the full episode--the complete discussion from Monday's Gaslit Nation Salon with listeners--a live Q&A--be sure to subscribe on Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com. Discounted annual memberships are available, and you can give the gift of membership. Thank you to everyone who supports the show -- we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!
