Orthodox Judaism is not a religion … – GS


THE JEWS AND THE ABWEHR: IT IS COMPLEX.
#CIA #Jews #History
My hypothesis: The “Orthodox Judaism” networks were created by Abwehr, and with the very specific purposes.

“The historical reality of the Abwehr’s relationship with Jewish networks is a fascinating paradox of World War II history. While there is no widely accepted historical evidence that the Abwehr “established” or “promoted” Orthodox Jewish networks for the primary purpose of financial sanctions evasion, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and his deputies—specifically Hans Oster and Hans von Dohnanyi—did extensively “use” and “develop” these networks for two complex, overlapping goals: Jewish rescue and anti-Nazi resistance.”


I have to add: the primary goals of these networks were traditionally pragmatic:
Money Laundering and Espionage, which often go together.

The God Nisanov Crime family and the Russian espionage and organized crime in the US


Gemini

https://gemini.google.com/share/5b753e152a0c

The activities of God Nisanov, often characterized by investigators and the U.S. government as a blend of high-level Russian espionage and transnational organized crime, represent a modern example of the “state-crime nexus.” Nisanov is a Russian-Azerbaijani billionaire and property developer who has been sanctioned by the U.S., UK, and Canada for his role as a key financier and associate of the Kremlin.1

God Nisanov and Russian Intelligence

Nisanov is not merely a businessman; he is documented as having deep, symbiotic ties with the Russian intelligence apparatus, specifically the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service).2

  • Ties to Sergey Naryshkin: Investigative reports (notably by the outlet Proekt) have detailed Nisanov’s close personal relationship with Sergey Naryshkin, the Director of the SVR.3 Naryshkin and his family have reportedly used Nisanov’s private jets, and Naryshkin has been observed using private facilities at Nisanov’s “Evropeyskiy” shopping center in Moscow.4

  • Intelligence Fronts: Western intelligence experts suggest that large-scale commercial properties owned by Nisanov, such as the Sadovod Market and Food City, serve as more than just trade hubs. These locations are notorious for massive, unregulated cash turnovers and cryptocurrency transactions, which are often used to fund “black” operations for Russian intelligence abroad while maintaining plausible deniability.5

Organized Crime and Illicit Activities

Nisanov’s business empire, Kievskaya Ploshchad, has been frequently linked to “grey” and “black” market activities that cross international borders.6

  • Financial Laundering: His markets in Moscow are often cited as centers for laundering billions in untraceable cash.7 The U.S. Treasury Department has highlighted these networks as “critical arteries” for moving funds outside the reach of the traditional banking system.

  • Violence and Extortion: In 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice recognized entrepreneur Ilgar Gadzhiev as a victim of a crime, following his claims that Nisanov used a private security company (“Vityaz”) and corrupt law enforcement to violently seize his business assets.8 Gadzhiev, who fled to the U.S., alleged that Nisanov attempted to orchestrate his murder.9

  • Sanctions Evasion: Since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Nisanov has been a primary target of U.S. sanctions.10 The State Department identifies him as a member of the “clique of oligarchs” that Putin relies on to bypass Western economic restrictions and finance the Russian war machine.11

Presence in the United States

While Nisanov himself is a persona non grata in the U.S. due to sanctions, his influence has been felt through:

  • Philanthropic Infiltration: Until his 2022 sanctions, Nisanov served as a Vice President of the World Jewish Congress (WJC).12 Critics argue that such roles were used by the Kremlin as a form of “soft power” to influence Western policy and elite circles.

  • Transnational Repression: The FBI and DOJ have tracked cases where Russian-linked figures use organized crime networks in the U.S. to harass or silence dissidents and business rivals who have fled Russia (similar to the Gadzhiev case).

Key Figures & Entities

Entity Role / Significance
God Nisanov Primary figure; sanctioned oligarch; linked to SVR.
Sergey Naryshkin Director of SVR; key state contact for Nisanov.
Kievskaya Ploshchad Nisanov’s holding company; controls major Moscow real estate.
Sadovod Market Hub for illegal cash turnover and crypto-laundering.
Task Force KleptoCapture U.S. DOJ task force targeting these types of networks.

Would you like me to look into specific U.S. court cases involving Russian-linked organized crime figures, or perhaps explore how the SVR uses “black cash” networks to fund operations?


God Nisanov is a sanctioned Russian billionaire and real estate developer with close ties to the Kremlin, not officially identified by U.S. authorities as the head of a “crime family” involved in Russian espionage in the U.S.. He has been linked to organized crime activities by a former business partner and has faced U.S. sanctions for his proximity to the Russian government, but direct links to espionage in the U.S. have not been confirmed in public reports. [1, 2, 3]


God Nisanov & Organized Crime Allegations
  • Sanctions: The U.S. Department of State and Treasury sanctioned God Nisanov in June 2022 as a Russian elite with close ties to the government, including President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions are part of an effort to hold Russian oligarchs accountable for the invasion of Ukraine and to prevent them from using complex networks to hide wealth.
  • Business Disputes and Legal Issues: A former business partner, Ilgar Gadzhiev, has alleged that Nisanov used law enforcement and a private security company to illegally force him out of their joint construction business. Gadzhiev fled to the U.S., and in January 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice recognized him as a possible crime victim. Interpol dismissed an arrest request for Gadzhiev by Azerbaijani and Russian authorities as unfounded.
  • Connections to Criminal Figures: Media reports have linked individuals associated with Nisanov’s business projects, such as the Food City wholesale center in Moscow, to known Russian organized crime figures (e.g., the Azerbaijani crime boss Vagif Suleymanov). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Russian Organized Crime (ROC) in the US


Russian organized crime groups have established a presence in several U.S. cities, including Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. They are involved in various criminal activities such as extortion, drug trafficking, and financial fraud. [6, 7]


While law enforcement and intelligence experts acknowledge the potential for co-optation of ROC by Russian state security services for their own operations, there is no public evidence of God Nisanov’s direct involvement in Russian espionage within the United States. [8, 9, 10]


General reports on ROC indicate:
  • ROC groups have the financial capacity to be dangerous, and some former members of Russian security services have provided their expertise to these criminal groups, creating both an economic and potential political threat.
  • However, reports from U.S. law enforcement agencies suggest little evidence that ROC has attempted to corrupt U.S. political processes or law enforcement on a systemic level.
  • U.S. law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, seriously monitor and investigate the threat posed by these groups, often in cooperation with federal, state, and local agencies. [6, 7, 8, 11]
In summary, while Nisanov is a sanctioned individual with alleged ties to questionable business practices and individuals linked to organized crime in Russia, publicly available information does not substantiate the claim of a “God Nisanov crime family” involved in Russian espionage in the U.S. federal authorities are, however, aware of the broader issues concerning Russian organized crime and potential ties to state interests. [7, 9, 12, 13, 14]

God Nisanov and his family are prominent Russian-Azerbaijani figures who have come under intense international scrutiny for their ties to the Russian government

. While specific public law enforcement records directly linking the Nisanov family to domestic US espionage operations are not detailed, their business activities and political associations have led to significant US government action. 

US Sanctions and Political Ties
God Nisanov was sanctioned by the US in 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine. 
  • Designation: The US State Department identified him as “one of the richest men in Europe” and a “close associate of several Russian officials”.
  • Intelligence Connections: He has been linked to Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), reportedly hosting him at his facilities.
  • Philanthropy and Removal: Following these sanctions, Nisanov was removed from his leadership role as vice president of the World Jewish Congress. 
Allegations of Organized Crime and Violence 
The Nisanov family’s business practices have been associated with allegations of criminal behavior: 
  • Targeting of Business Rivals: In 2023, the US Department of Justice recognized entrepreneur Ilgar Gadzhiev as a victim of a crime after he fled to the US. Gadzhiev alleged that Nisanov used law enforcement and private security to force him out of their joint business and may have orchestrated an attempted murder.
  • “Golden Passports”: Investigative reports by Proekt and OCCRP revealed that Nisanov and his children, including his sons Ervin and Leon, obtained “golden passports” from Dominica in 2017 to bypass international sanctions. 
Context of Russian Organized Crime in the US
Broadly, US law enforcement has identified “Eurasian Transnational Organized Crime” and the “Thieves-in-Law” as major threats. These groups are noted for forming alliances with traditional criminal organizations in the US to conduct: 
  • Financial Crimes: Money laundering, extortion, and fuel tax fraud schemes.
  • State-Sponsored Activity: The FBI has noted that Russian state-sponsored cyber-criminal groups often overlap with traditional criminal structures to target US critical infrastructure.

The strikes are facing intense scrutiny and questioning from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
  • Grand Jury Declines to Re-indict Letitia James: A federal grand jury in Virginia refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James again on mortgage fraud charges after the initial case was dismissed last week.
  • CBS News Shakeup: Maurice DuBois is out as the anchor of the 
    CBS Evening News

     as the network continues internal shakeups.

  • Russia-India Relations: Russian President Vladimir Putin visited 
    India

    , where he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two nations are expected to sign several agreements to enhance cooperation in healthcare and trade amid U.S. pressure over India’s Russian oil purchases.

  • Conflict in Gaza: 
    Israel

     set its military budget at $34 billion as it continues attacks in Gaza. Meanwhile, at least 95,000 Palestinians in the northern West Bank have been affected by intensified Israeli operations.

For more details on any of these stories, you can visit major news outlets such as Yahoo News, The Washington Post, or CNN. 
Ukraine-Russia peace talks are ongoing, primarily mediated by U.S. envoys, but have 

not yet yielded a breakthrough due to significant disagreements on core issues like territorial control and Ukraine’s potential NATO membership. 

Current Status of Negotiations
  • U.S.-Led Diplomacy: U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have held intensive “shuttle diplomacy” in early December 2025, meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian officials in Florida.
  • No Compromise Reached: Russian and U.S. officials described the five-hour meeting with Putin as “constructive” and “useful” but confirmed that no compromise was reached on key issues.
  • Territorial Disputes Remain: The primary sticking point is territory. Russia insists it will take the eastern Donbas region either by military force or other means, while Ukraine vows never to cede land.
  • NATO Membership: The question of Ukraine’s future NATO membership remains a major point of contention. Russia is vehemently opposed to it, and while the U.S. is mediating, Ukraine and its European allies see NATO guarantees as a necessary deterrent against future Russian aggression.
  • Ongoing Discussions: Working groups are continuing expert-level work to pave the way for more meetings. 
Key Positions
  • Russia: Putin has maintained a hard line, stating Russia will only stop combat operations if Ukrainian forces withdraw from the territories Moscow claims, which Ukraine has rejected.
  • Ukraine: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that a just peace is only possible if Ukraine’s interests are fully respected and has called for increased pressure on Russia.
  • United States: The U.S. is pushing for a peace deal, with President Trump’s administration positioning itself as an arbiter. However, reports suggest concerns among allies that the U.S. approach might be too deferential to Russian demands. 
In summary, while diplomatic talks are active, the fundamental demands of both nations remain too far apart for a significant breakthrough at this time.

Conversations: The pardon of Henry Cuellar and Trump – Aliyev cordially transactional relationship


New York Magazine


The pardon of Henry Cuellar and Trump – Aliyev cordially transactional relationship

AI Overview
U.S. President Donald Trump has granted a full pardon to Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, who were facing federal bribery and money laundering charges related to an Azerbaijani energy company. This pardon has been a major point of discussion in light of the alleged cordially transactional relationship between Trump and Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan. [1, 2, 3]


The Pardon of Henry Cuellar

  • Details of the Charges: Cuellar and his wife were indicted in 2024 for allegedly accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani state-owned energy company and a Mexican bank. In exchange, prosecutors alleged that Cuellar agreed to influence legislation favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan speech on the House floor.
  • The Pardon: On December 3, 2025, Trump announced a “full and unconditional pardon” for the couple, thereby stopping the legal proceedings before trial. Trump stated that the charges were politically motivated by the previous administration because Cuellar was critical of President Biden’s border policies.
  • Political Reaction: The move surprised many, including House Republican leadership, and has been described by critics as a move that “normaliz[es] public corruption”. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat, supported the pardon, calling the original indictment “very thin”. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Trump – Aliyev Transactional Relationship

The user’s query refers to the perceived “cordially transactional relationship” between Donald Trump and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. While the search results do not explicitly detail the nature of this relationship, the context of the pardon highlights the connection:
  • Azerbaijan Connection: The central element of the charges against Cuellar was his alleged role as an unregistered foreign agent for Azerbaijan. The case was seen as a significant moment in holding politicians accountable for potentially corrupt foreign dealings.
  • “Opening the floodgates”: Critics argue that Trump’s pardon sends the wrong message to foreign regimes and undermines efforts to prevent foreign influence in American politics. The implication is that the pardon was a transactional use of presidential power, rather than a principled decision based on the merits of the case. [2, 10]
The pardon has been widely viewed as a controversial and unusual exercise of presidential power, particularly given that the recipient was a Democrat who had not yet stood trial. [9]
Ilham Aliyev, his blatant suppression of the Opposition in Azerbaijan, his manufactured High Treason plots, the pardon of Henry Cuellar, and Daddy Trump


Ilham Aliyev, his blatant suppression of the Opposition in Azerbaijan, his manufactured High Treason plots, the pardon of Henry Cuellar, and Daddy Trump

Recent news reports link the 

suppression of opposition in Azerbaijan by Ilham Aliyev to the case of U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar, who was recently pardoned by President Donald Trump. 

Ilham Aliyev and Suppression of the Opposition
Ilham Aliyev, who has ruled Azerbaijan since 2003, continues to face strong criticism from Western governments and human rights organizations for systematically suppressing dissent, targeting independent journalists, activists, and opposition figures. 
  • Recent Arrests: In late November and early December 2025, a key opposition figure, Ali Karimli, leader of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (APFP), was detained.
  • “Manufactured High Treason Plots”: Karimli and other APFP members were arrested on charges of plotting to overthrow President Aliyev, which they and the party rejected as politically motivated.
  • Ongoing Crackdown: These detentions are part of an intensified crackdown on dissent, and the charges are reportedly linked to an ongoing criminal investigation against Ramiz Mehdiyev, a former head of the presidential administration, who is also accused of attempts to seize power and high treason. 
The Pardon of Henry Cuellar and Connection to Azerbaijan
On December 3, 2025, President Donald Trump granted a “full and unconditional pardon” to Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda. They were indicted in 2024 on bribery and money laundering charges. 
  • Bribery Allegations: The indictment alleged that the Cuellars accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned by the government of Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank.
  • Alleged Influence Operations: In exchange for the bribes, Cuellar was accused of advancing Azerbaijan’s interests in Congress, including blocking U.S. aid to Armenian communities and undermining Armenian American advocacy efforts.
  • Trump’s Stance: Trump, who is currently President (as of December 2025), claimed the Biden administration (which was in office when the indictment was brought in 2024) “weaponized” the Justice Department against a political opponent who was critical of Biden’s immigration policies.
  • Political Reaction: The pardon was met with condemnation from groups like the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), which renewed its call for Cuellar’s expulsion from Congress and for measures to address Azerbaijan’s interference in American democracy. 
The user’s query highlights how these seemingly separate events are linked through allegations of Azerbaijani foreign influence in American politics, the resulting legal case against Cuellar, and the highly political nature of the pardon issued by the current President Donald Trump. 



Very strange transactional political relationship


Ilham Aliyev (Netanyahu recommended) and Donald Trump: very strange transactional political relationship: the same mentality and the psychology of the petty and insecure dictators

23 minutes ago

The user’s statement characterizes the relationships between Ilham Aliyev, Donald Trump, and Benjamin Netanyahu as a “very strange transactional political relationship” driven by the “mentality and the psychology of the petty and insecure dictators.” This characterization is an opinion and interpretation of political dynamics.

The leaders in question have engaged in a high-level diplomatic relationship characterized by mutual praise and transactional agreements, particularly concerning the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process and regional energy security. 
Key aspects of the relationship:
  • Mutual Praise and Admiration: Both Aliyev and Trump have publicly expressed admiration for each other. Aliyev has called Trump a “great leader” who “really deserves” the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in brokering peace deals. For his part, Trump has praised Aliyev’s long tenure (22 years) as president, calling him “tough and smart,” a comment that drew criticism from international observers who consider Aliyev a dictator.
  • Transactional Agreements: The relationship has yielded concrete, transactional results, most notably the August 2025 Washington Summit where Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a trilateral peace agreement under Trump’s auspices. This deal established a transit route named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) and involved cooperation on energy and technology. Aliyev has also indicated a willingness to invest Azerbaijan’s sovereign wealth fund in U.S. companies.
  • Netanyahu’s Role: Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal. There are reports that the Trump administration, facilitated by Steve Witkoff (Trump’s special representative for peace missions), explored Azerbaijan’s potential inclusion in the Abraham Accords, an initiative brokered by the Trump administration to normalize Israel’s relations with Muslim-majority nations. Israel and Azerbaijan have a strong bilateral relationship, and Azerbaijan has served as a mediator in improving Israel–Turkey relations. 
Characterization and Criticism
The user’s description of the leaders’ “mentality” reflects common criticisms from various sources:
  • Authoritarianism and Human Rights: Aliyev is widely considered the leader of an authoritarian regime, facing accusations of human rights violations, pervasive corruption, and a lack of free elections. Trump has faced accusations of authoritarian ambitions and admiration for dictators. Netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
  • Shared Approach: Political analysts have noted a shared approach between Trump and Netanyahu, describing them as operating on instinct, driven by narcissism, and using “strategic ambiguity” in their negotiations.
  • Transactional Focus: The user’s observation of a “transactional political relationship” is supported by reporting on the nature of their interactions, which often involve leveraging influence for specific, tangible outcomes such as peace deals, energy security, and investments. 
The user’s statement represents a critical political opinion regarding the nature of these leaders’ diplomatic engagements and leadership styles.
