International arms dealer and former Soviet Army Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Bout, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison in the US has returned to Russia after a prisoner swap involving basketball player Brittney Griner. On Saturday, he sat down with Maria Butina from Russia Today (RT) in his first interview since his release from US prison.
When asked, he told Butina that he does not hate America and he said that Russians and Americans have much in common and that we would naturally be friends, if it weren’t for the elites and their propaganda.
He added wistfully of America, “They’re losing their Christian values. They’re losing their families. They’re losing, literally their country. It is not anymore the same country we knew. America used to be the model for the entire world and lead and be an example. Like they say, you know, a sparkling town on a hill.”
This short segment with the two speaking in English is a fascinating performance piece that is separate from the full interview, which was, of course conducted in their native Russian. RT is state media and it appears, here that the Russian government is making a personal appeal to the American People, to communicate that they are not our enemy, which any American with half a brain cell and who has not been completely brainwashed already knows.
The restraint and the sanity shown by the Russians in the face of the recent US proxy drone strike on a pair of strategic targets just outside of Moscow last week show that they know they are not fighting Americans. They are fighting the bankster Cabal.
We should ALL be fighting the Cabal and put an end this nightmare now.
Interviewer, Maria Butina is the Russian libertarian gun rights activist who was the victim of a political stunt to create the illusion that the “Trump-Russia Collusion” was real.
She had come to the US, she says, to foster good relations between her country and the US, meeting with the National Rifle Association and other conservative groups. During this time, she famously had a romantic affair with Overstock.com Founder/CEO Patrick Byrne.
In July 2018, she was arrested by the FBI at her apartment in Washington, DC as part of Robert Mueller’s “Russian Collusion” investigation. After weeks of interrogation, she was convicted of being an unregistered foreign agent and she pled guilty to the felony charge of conspiracy to influence a gun rights group in the United States. She served 4 months in solitary confinement and a total of 15 months in Federal lock-up before being released.
In her own first interview upon her return, she told RT that the American justice system is lost. “Lost, not just for me as a Russian but for the average American, too.” The January 6th defendants would certainly agree.
Butina has been banned from ever reentering the United States, to which she says, “I guess, because the peace-building activities that I was performing without registration is such a bad crime and – being sarcastic, here – that I can’t go back…I still don’t understand why it was necessary…I guess they were trying to break my will – but for what? I didn’t have any secrets. I was just a student believing in peace-building between the two countries.”
She says she took the plea because she was facing 15 years in prison during the height of anti-Russian hysteria in Washington DC and the whole thing was so terrifying and surreal, she felt that were she to fight the charges, she would have been sentenced to all 15 years.
As a result of her traumatic experience, Butina determined to use her accidental notoriety to shine the light on prisoners’ rights, saying, “A country should be measured on how it treats its prisoners. They [the US] treat their prisoners very bad…if I never talked about this, it means I betrayed all these girls who asked me to be their voice. All these souls in prison, who had never been heard and many of them were unjustly accused. I feel obligated to talk about this.”
Just after her 2018 arrest, Patrick Byrne made appearances on several news shows, in which he abruptly announced his resignation from the company that he’d founded and built for 20 years, while also suggesting that he’d been compelled by the FBI to spy on his then-girlfriend, Butina.
Byrne said that it was while he was watching Peter Strzok’s July 2018 testimony before Congress that he realized that he’d been used by the FBI as a tool in “political espionage” for the 2016 presidential campaign. He later revealed that he’d been sent out to bribe Hillary Clinton with $18 million so that James Comey, John Brennan and Barack Obama could blackmail her during the 8 years of her presidency. (They thought she would never lose).
Byrne went on to spent tens of millions of his own dollars investigating the theft of the 2020 Election and last month, while in Branson, Missouri on the Reawaken America Tour, he told an emotional story about how he was offered $1 billion to keep quiet about the election.
He was simultaneously offended and ecstatic to have been presented with this bribe, because he’d been looking for these ultimate power players of the Deep State for 16 years – and now he’d got them!
He also announced during the same speech that while he was working recently in the Middle East, he was told that Hunter Biden had been reaching out to the Iranian government through a loose-lipped intermediary, the son of the Defense Minister of Pakistan with the following offer: ‘You Iranians have $8 billion frozen in a South Korean bank. My father will release it for $800 million, shipped to a numbered account for us and if you do this, it will lubricate other discussions which have started between us,’ referring to the recent nuclear discussions in Geneva.
Byrne also claimed that the powerful DNC law firm, Perkins Coie (which still represents Twitter) was trying to inject Ukrainian child pornography into Trump’s cell phone.
He explained, “The Praetorian Guard of the Deep State is a group of corrupt people out of Seal Team Six…And after 9/11, they got sprinkled through the rest of the Government. They have formed a Praetorian ring around the Deep State…
“This group of Seal Team Six bad guys, that got sprinkled throughout the Government are using the National Security State to protect the Biden-Clinton ring. And they have all the tools that are available to people who work across the NSA, CIA, NRO, FBI…we have a huge counterintelligence problem.”
As an American we Americans have witnessed nothing short of a total betrayal of our Leaders / Government. Families have been destroyed. Only 18% of Children live with both biological parents. The Family Court system practices gross and systemic bias against Fathers all the while our Government and Main stream Media talk about nothing but equal rights. There is near zero in the way if deterrent from use of hard drugs and 100,000 die every year from overdoses. The root causes of violence by young men and especially young minority men is completely ignored. Half of the population has minimal faith in the voting system while the other half ridicules them for their valid suspicions ( which could easily be remedied).
Like an Arab once told me that how they want it and I haven’t been able to refute his statement.
The police basically harass me whenever I have any interaction with them. And I know countless others who state the same. When I visited Easrern Euroe ( Georgia) I was shocked at how my then Father in Law actually yelled full blast at a Police Officer. Here in the States he would have been beaten senseless if not shot dead right there and then.
I visited Thailand last April and although not free in the Western Sense I felt far freer than here in States.
Alexander Dugan statement , ‘Western Liberal Totalitarianism’, makes so much sense regarding the deep state and the infection of the Woke Mind Virus.
I think it likely that the neocon globalists were blindsided when Putin sent the Russian air force to “help” in the War On Terror. ISIS was rebranded Al-qaeda, a CIA creation sent to “take out” Assad. Syria was on the list of seven countries in five years to be “taken out” divulged by General Wesley Clark even before the “shock and awe” in Iraq. Russia made a repeat of Libya no-fly zone impossible thereby thwarting a major globalist agenda. The CIA contrived coup in Ukraine followed almost immediately. I don’t think they globalists were blindsided by the Ukraine invasion. They have been provoking it like Japan was provoked to attacking Pearl Harbor. Neither the “Project for a New American Century” or any “great reset” can happen while Russia stands. If NATO can’t defeat Russia the US dollar empire is finished.
REGARDING: “They’re losing their Christian values. They’re losing their families. They’re losing, literally their country. It is not anymore the same country we knew.
I started to write a letter to my Family which turned out to be a website.
Be ready to think for your self.
Money has no value there.
At the top of the home page on the home page read from:
God’s Family – God’s Church then continue as you are lead.
Christian families are falling apart at the same rate as seculair families…..
something is wrong and nothing will change until we follow God’s Pattern for Families and His Church.
Best to all in Christ – Daniel

This interview war really interesting. It would appear that all we have to do is give people we want to look like enemies, a really bad sounding nickname.
The add-on text about Maria and Byrne was also extremely interesting, and something I haven’t heard about at all elsewhere. Miss B, you really stay on top of things.
The Frankfurt school was a great reason of destruction of Christian values, which was followed by by the Khazarian Hollywood.
E Michael Jones has done some great work regarding.
I find it curious what two of the last 4 of Ukraine s Presidents have been Jewish…and there’s been nothing but trouble…aka clearing the land for a new Khazar Kingom
What about US MAGA hypocrisy VS RUS KGB authoritarianism, which Christian value is better?
I suppose that this Christian value, when spoken by ordinary people, generally means positive; however, not to forget that it was also used as tool for brainwashing the population.
I think that people can freely choose their religion while also should not mix up with other things until going blind.
There’s been no restriction of religious freedom either by former Trump or in Russia today. If anything there’s been an open war on religion. If there is no central teaching which is expected to stand up to any sort of ordered scrutiny they the word can be manipulated to any degree so desired. What I most clearly see is the gross manipulation outside of religion the incessant lies of msm ad the Woke Leftist who openly battle the Natural Law / Logos, all the while practicing their own religion which can largely be summed up as do what though will shall be the whole of the law.
Amazing, isn’t it?
Who would have thought even less that ten years ago, that Russia would be defending the high moral ground while America descended into moral decay?
We can thank a teacher for this and a preacher! They are both educators.
What is taught in one generation will rule in the next.
@AS AD Uh Oh! My sister in law is teaching Kindergarden and she teaches first and foremost OBEDIENCE! Says that kids come not knowing how to hold a crayon or their temper. And every one has a smartphone and when you take it away they start crying & screaming.
