One of my first teaching jobs after grad school was in an international school in the Dominican Republic.

When Trump first ran I said each night at dinner if he came up that Melania was a Russian spy who has married him to get access to the White House for Russia; or sometimes that both Trump and Melania were Russian spies. My family would tell me I read too many spy books. This is why I thought this. I read a lot about the Stasi, since part of my family lived under them in the DDR. I also talked to them about life under the Stasi. I was always saying this tongue-in-check, but it is amazing how I was not so far off.

Great Interview! One of the most prophetic sayings from Jacob “Coincidence takes alot of Planning”. I will have to keep that saying in mind whenever I think or read anything about Trump, Epstein, Russia etc.

Two awesome people with a great and informative interview- please please get those books into English Jacob! You can just use Claude to do the translating and then proofread the results or combine AI followed up with a translator review to get it done faster and cheaper :-)

Fascinating conversation with you two about the connections with Russian influencers, Trump and Melania. You are both invaluable for your knowledge and information. Thank you!

Excellent interview, as were the two interviews with Amanda about her former partner. As this transpires, it would be great to have the three of you on, once Amanda releases more information.

I would love to read Jacob's book. I believe he is correct and the Russians are mainly behind all this. I've been following Zev for many years, as well as others, and many people have put too much attention on the Israelis, when it's likely the Russians who are the main players. As to why this is happening in the US, one big reason in my opinion is the lack of background knowledge the typical American has about politics and international relations. Many are very naive and ignorant, not to mention not engaged. Many folks here are very parochial and don't know the first thing about any of this, so the truth will not stick and lies and truth get all mixed up. Also the huge size of the country with vast oceans on both sides and the mediocre education system many here get, this all plays into where we are now. Don't get me wrong, there is a group here that is highly educated, but it is the minority. Also, the pursuit of money, power and advancement is baked into the culture. That said, there are many great things about the country I call home, and I believe that the with the help of our friends like you, Zev and Jacob, we will get through this.

Great interview, Zev! It ties a few more events together. Yes, indeed, Russia, Russia, Russia. As Nancy Pelosi said, "All roads lead to Moscow." I knew Trump was influenced in the early 80's. There was also documentation on the old Twitter, that Donald & Ivana visited Moscow in the late 70's. Ivana was a Czech model & her dad had some association with the stB, the secret police & intelligence agency in Czechoslovakia. "Starting in 1977, he was used by the agency to conduct surveillance on Ivana & her husband Donald Trump..." Someone on Twitter had an article & pictures. A simple search I just did provided more info. "He passed intelligence back to the stB about his daughter's visits to the US, her family's wealth, & Donald Trump's burgeoning business dealings & early political ambitions." Ivana & Donald married in 1977. Jacob, you look like you're enjoying your vacation. Hope to see your books in print & translated!!

Wishing Mr. NARATIV would Post upcoming Lives like Jacob Kaarsbo is Smart to do. Especially since Zev Shalev’s are Random & typically Infrequent. Whether or not one can meet the Scheduled Time one knows what they’re Missing while easily Adding it to their Calendar w/ a Tap or Two and can then watch the Recording a Bit later rather than Way later. This is my Third missed NARATIV LIVE in A Row. Surely Mr. Kaarsbo is available for A Tutorial❕
